The neutron instruments suite, installed at the spallation neutron source of the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), is reviewed. MLF has 23 neutron beam ports and 21 instruments are in operation for user programs or are under commissioning. A unique and challenging instrumental suite in MLF has been realized via combination of a high-performance neutron source, optimized for neutron scattering, and unique instruments using cutting-edge technologies. All instruments are/will serve in world-leading investigations in a broad range of fields, from fundamental physics to industrial applications. In this review, overviews, characteristic features, and typical applications of the individual instruments are mentioned.

Proceedings of INMM 57th Annual Meeting (Internet), 10 Pages, 2016/07
We are working on the development of a non-destructive assay (NDA) measurement system using the Fast Neutron Direct Interrogation (FNDI) method. The FNDI method is a kind of active neutron technique and can measure the total amounts of fissile materials (U-235, Pu-239, Pu-241). We have already carried out design analyses of an NDA measurement system for measuring the debris assuming use of the Three Mile Island (TMI) canister model. The result was presented at the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management (INMM) 56th Annual Meeting. Since then, we have modified the design of the NDA measurement system for the fuel debris and canister models at 1F. In this paper, we provide the calculation and evaluation results using the modified NDA measurement system. Moreover, we provide analytical investigations of the influence of fuel debris including high fissile material content on measurements.

Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster in March 11th in 2011 is considered to produce fuel debris. It is difficult to measure nondestructively the amount of fissile materials in the fuel debris since the constituents of the debris are unknown and it may contain various materials such as water, metal, and even neutron absorber. A fast neutron direct interrogation (FNDI) method, which has been developed for long years to measure uranium bearing wastes drums, can measure an amount of nuclear materials regardless of a matrix of the wastes drums. We have studied nondestructive assay for nuclear materials in fuel debris by using the FNDI method. In this paper, we report on a design study of a nondestructive measurement system for debris canister and results of the investigation on the applicability of the FNDI method to the fuel debris containing various materials using Monte Carlo simulations.

Times Cited Count：91 Percentile：99.07(Instruments & Instrumentation)PLANET is a time-of-flight (ToF) neutron beamline dedicated to high-pressure and high-temperature experiments. The large six-axis multi-anvil high-pressure press designed for ToF neutron diffraction experiments enables routine data collection at high pressures and high temperatures up to 10 GPa and 2000 K, respectively. To obtain clean data, the beamline is equipped with the incident slits and receiving collimators to eliminate parasitic scattering from the high-pressure cell assembly. The high performance of the diffractometer for the resolution (
/ 
0.6%) and the accessible -spacing range (0.2-8.4 
) together with low-parasitic scattering characteristics enables precise structure determination of crystals and liquids under high pressure and temperature conditions.

In an fcc metal lattice, each metal atom has two tetrahedral (T) and one octahedral (O) sites that can accommodate hydrogen. Rare-earth metal La forms T-site occupied LaH
and fully occupied LaH
. O-site occupied or NaCl-type monohydride has yet to be reported for rare-earth metals. Previous X-ray diffraction measurements revealed the pressure-induced decomposition of an fcc-LaH
into H-rich and H-poor phases around 11 GPa. The present neutron diffraction measurements on LaD confirm the formation of NaCl-type LaD as a counterpart of the D-rich LaD
by disproportionation. First-principle calculations demonstrate that the NaCl-type LaH is stabilized at high pressures. Finding the NaCl-type LaH will pave the way for investigations on the site-dependent nature of hydrogen-metal interactions.

SiO glass consists of SiO
tetrahedra. This glass is easily densified by applying pressure, due to its relatively sparse network ring formed by the linkage of tetrahedra. The density increase amounts to 20% by room temperature compression to 8 GPa. This increase is, however, released after decompression because of insufficient structural relaxation. On the other hand, the heating at high pressures promotes the structural relaxation, resulting in permanent densification of 20% at most. The mechanism of this densification has been investigated so far, but the microscopic origin is still to be revealed. So, we performed in-situ high-pressure neutron experiments at newly constructed high-pressure neutron beamline PLANET in J-PARC. We will discuss the origin of the reversibility in the densification.

PLANET is the beamline dedicated for the high-pressure experiments. The operation has been started at JFY 2013, and now many users are coming to use. In this talk, we introduce the current state of the PLANET and the example of the structure analysis of disordered materials. PLANET adopted the double staged compression system of the multi anvil 6-6, and enables the data collation at 10 GPa and 2000 K. To extend accessible PT range, we newly introduce another compression system of multi-anvil 6-8, and succeeded in generating 16 GPa and 1273 K. In addition, the PLANET is designed so that we can analyze the structure of liquid under pressure. In the analysis, the program for liquid analysis developed at BL21 NOVA is used. Here, we briefly introduce the reliability of the results and the pressure evolution of the silica glass.

We have investigated the structural properties of rare-earth metal hydrides under high pressure. LaH has the CaF type structure in which the H atoms locate at the tetrahedral interstitial sites (T-sites) of the fcc metal lattice. Synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction and infrared reflection experiments revealed disproportionation reaction of LaH into the H-poor and H-rich phases around 11 GPa. Before the disproportionation reaction, we have found that the fcc metal lattice transformed into tetragonal lattice. The ordering of the H atoms in the octahedral-sites (O-sites) causes the tetragonal distortion of LaH. The tetragonal transformation and successive disproportionation reaction of LaH would closely relate to the inter-site transfer of the H atoms between the T- and O-sites. We have performed the neutron diffraction experiments of LaD to investigate the change of the positions and occupancies of the hydrogen atoms under high pressure.

The neutron experiments at J-PARC, which was constructed recently, offer new information on materials, such as atomic position of light elements and the dynamic structures, so many scientists are waiting for that use. Still now we could not get the beamline specially dedicated for high-pressure study, we are waiting the chance to do neutron experiments at another beamlines. The intense total scattering beamline NOVA, which is constructed under the program HYDROSTAR based on the NEDO's fund, is one of the powerful beamlines for studying disordered materials under pressure. So, we also attend the program and are planning to do the neutron experiments at NOVA using a compact Paris-Edinburgh cell. We introduce the characteristics of NOVA and the current state of our high-pressure experiments.

To reveal the hydrogen position and its effect on the physical properties of materials under pressure, we constructed the highpressure system to conduct neutron diffraction at total scattering spectrometer, NOVA. It consists of a Paris-Edingburgh press (VX4, 230 tonf max.load), the adjustment stages, an oil pressure unit and a flange with several feedthroughs. By using this system, we can obtain the diffraction data at pressures up to c.a. 20 GPa over wide Q-range of 1-40 A with resolution of Q/Q=0.6%, which enables us to determine the hydrogen position of the materials in the real-space resolution of 0.16 A.
