Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:54.77(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Searching for effective pathways for the production of proton- and neutron-rich isotopes through an optimal combination of reaction mechanism and energy is one of the main driving forces behind experimental and theoretical nuclear reaction studies as well as for practical applications in nuclear transmutation of radioactive waste. We report on a study on incomplete fusion induced by deuteron, which contains one proton and one neutron with a weak binding energy and is easily broken up. This reaction study was achieved by measuring directly the cross sections for both proton and deuteron for Pd at 50 MeV/u via inverse kinematics technique. The results provide direct experimental evidence for the onset of a cross-section enhancement at high energy, indicating the potential of incomplete fusion induced by loosely-bound nuclei for creating proton-rich isotopes and nuclear transmutation of radioactive waste.

At J-PARC, 3 GeV proton beam with power of 1MW is delivered to the spallation neutron source (JSNS) through beam transport line called 3NBT. At the high power accelerator facilities even a small abnormal event has a possibility to be critical so that the beam control system is crucial. In order to find tiny anomaly, rapid data analysis system is required. We developed control and data analysis system based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) and Control System Studio (CSS). To carry out beam tuning efficiently, the beam control system based on the Strategic Accelerator Design (SAD) code has been developed. With the several shots of beam and by the one click of operational panel of the screen, required magnet field can be calculated and set automatically. Also we developed automated e-mail system to announce the abnormal event to the experts persons. With these systems, we can reduce both beam tuning time and down time.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) at Tono Geoscience Center (TGC) is pursuing a geoscientific research and development project namely the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) Project in crystalline rock environment in order to construct scientific and technological basis for geological disposal of High-level Radioactive Waste (HLW). The MIU Project has three overlapping phases: Surface-based Investigation phase (Phase I), Construction phase (Phase II), and Operation phase (Phase III). The MIU Project has been ongoing the Phase II and the Phase III in 2011 fiscal year. This report shows the results of the investigation, construction and collaboration studies in fiscal year 2011, as a part of the Phase II and Phase III based on the MIU Master Plan updated in 2010.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:35.89(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The stress and temperature dependence of the structure of the X-phase in NiMnGa has been investigated by neutron diffraction measurements under compressive stress to clarify the structural relationship among the P-, I-, M- and X-phases. The structure of the X-phase in Ni
MnGa depends strongly on stress and temperature compared to the M- or I-phase. In association with the X
M transformation, both the position and intensity of the satellite reflection changes drastically, regardless of stress and temperature, while with X
P transformation, the intensity of the satellite reflection fades gradually. For the I
X transformation, the position and intensity of the satellite changes drastically when transformation occur under compressive stress, while the changes are continuous under zero stress. These results strongly suggest the existence of a multicritical point in Ni
MnGa.

We have investigated stress and temperature dependences of the structure of the X-phase in NiMnGa to understand structural relation between the X-phase and other phases. We found that the structure change associated with the transformation from the intermediate (I-) phase to the X-phase is discontinuous under a compressive stress, while it is continuous under zero stress. In addition, the transformation from the X-phase to the L2
-type parent phase is continuous regardless of applied stress. These results strongly suggest the existence of multi-critical point in Ni
MnGa.

The volume reduction treatment of solid waste system by ultra-high frequency induction furnace (UHFIF) was developed from FY2005 to FY2007. Basic data for melting performance were collected by non-radioactive experiments using the bench scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 10 liters. Based on the obtained data, engineering specifications were evaluated for a demonstration scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 30 liters. A new demonstration scale UHFIF was constructed and melting experiments of surrogate wastes were carried out by this furnace. It was confirmed that the demonstration scale UHFIF can melt ferrous metal, ceramics and aluminum all together and stabilize aluminum by oxidation to alumina. Density, chemical composition, and surface condition of the solidified substances were analyzed, and homogeneity of the solidified substances was confirmed. Melting behavior in the demonstration scale UHFIF was analyzed by computer simulation and simulation results agreed well with the experimental ones. From the design study for a full scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 100 liters, basic specifications were evaluated for the full scale UHFIF. Based on the obtained specification, melting behavior in the full scale UHFIF was analyzed by computer simulation.

High burnup PWR fuel rods includes hydride rims that hydride accumulate the periphery of the rods. NSRR experiments of the fuels indicate that hydride rims plays a role of an initial crack of RIA failure behavior. In order to clarify the influence of interior hydrides other than the rims about RIA failure behavior, hydrided RAG (Roll after Grooving) fabricated fuel rods were performed with EDC (Expansion Due to Compression) experiments. Stress intensity factor analyses indicate that in case the radially-oriented hydrides are precipitated at the tip of the pre-crack, the stress state of the matrix at the tip of the hydrides is the same.

The hydride Precipitation occurs due to absorption of hydrogen and its oxidation in the high burn-up fuel cladding. The hydride precipitated densely near the outer surface of the cladding could be considered the origin of the crack growth its own brittle property. RAG (Roll After Grooving) has been developed to simulate the outer surface of hydride precipitation on the origin of the crack. The fracture behavior was evaluated to define the effect of origin of the crack compared with milled cladding by EDC (Expansion Due to Compression) test. The crack extension occurred in smaller circumferential strain on RAG cladding than milled cladding. It was shown that RAG can simulate the crack growth of outer surface hydride cracking.

The stress condition of the cladding tube of high burnup fuel is complicated under RIA (Reactivity Initiated Accident) condition because fuel pellet and cladding bond significantly in high burnup fuel. The stress condition becomes biaxial under such condition due to the isotropy of pellet thermal expansion. We have developed a biaxial stress testing machine which can control the axial and circumferential stresses independently and evaluate the mechanical and fracture behaviors of cladding tube under biaxial stress condition. This report describes the outline of the experiment using this equipment and the test results obtained under several biaxial stress conditions at room temperature.
