U and
Pu, on
Am and
Na,
Ni, Cr, Cu, Zr, Cd, Hf, W, Au, Pb and Bi are presented. It includes new fission yileds, prompt fission neutron spectra and average number of neutrons per fission. In addition, new data for radioactive decay, thermal neutron scattering, gamma-ray emission, neutron activation, delayed neutrons and displacement damage are presented. JEFF-3.3 was complemented by files from the TENDL project. The libraries for photon, proton, deuteron, triton, helion and alpha-particle induced reactions are from TENDL-2017. The demands for uncertainty quantification in modeling led to many new covariance data. A comparison between results from model calculations using the JEFF-3.3 library and those from benchmark experiments for criticality, delayed neutron yields, shielding and decay heat, reveals that JEFF-3.3 is excellent for a wide range of nuclear technology applications, in particular nuclear energy.

The SFR system arrangement Phase II became effective on 16 February 2016 by signatures of CEA, JAEA, KAERI, USDOE, and Rosatom, and was extended for additional 10 years. Collaboration of GIF SFR is growing adding new reactor concepts and related RDs. In 2015, a project arrangement on SFR System Integration and Assessment (SIA) has been signed by 7 members : China, EU, France, Japan, Korea, Russia and US. In the SIA project, RD needs from the SFR design will be shown to the RD project, and RD results from each RD project will be integrated into the designs.

Times Cited Count:99 Percentile:99.39(Nuclear Science & Technology)Much of the basic technology for the Sodium-cooled fast Reactor (SFR) has been established through long term development experience with former fast reactor programs, and is being confirmed by the Phnix end-of-life tests, the restart of Monju, the lifetime extension of BN-600 and the startup of CEFR. Planned startup in 2014 for BN-800 and PFBR will further enhance the confirmation of the SFR basic technology. Nowadays, the SFR development has advanced to aiming at establishment of the Generation-IV system which is dedicated to sustainable energy generation and actinide management, and several advanced SFR concepts are under development. Generation-IV International Forum is an international collaboration framework where various R&D activities are progressing for the Generation-IV SFR development, and will play a beneficial role of promoting them thorough providing an opportunity to share the past experience and the latest data of design and R&D among countries developing SFR.

Thus, fast spectrum reactor concepts are vital for nuclear fuel cycle sustainability goals. The trilateral countries agree that SFR, GFR and LFR are capable to achieve the goals. However SFR is the most matured technology from the view point of industrial deployment while GFR and LFR still require long term development before a test reactor project could begin. The trilateral common view supports fast reactor project situations in each country.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:46.61(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to
collisions.

On a basis of Generation IV nuclear energy system, various R&D project plans for sodium cooled reactor have been drawn up including component design and balance of plant (CD and BOP). At present, CD and BOP for the reference SFR systems can be largely established from the existing knowledge and operation experience. Therefore, the project plan for CD and BOP R&D for Generation IV system is related to the system performance and the development of alternatives to the reference systems for enhanced performance with innovative technologies. This paper gives an outline of the SFR CD & BOP project plan that is examined as Generation IV R&D. The project plan covers advanced in-service inspection and repair, improved steam generator more reliability, advanced energy conversion system for higher efficiency, and leak-before-break assessment. The total schedule of the project plan consists of three steps: a viability study of proposal concepts (till 2006), performance tests for detail design specification (till 2010) and demonstration of system performance (till 2015). The R&D activities are carried out with international cooperation between France, Japan, Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States in the framework of Generation IV International Forum under the supervision of its SFR steering committee.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:30.72(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)One class of internal transport barrier discharge in the JT-60U tokamak is characterized by two relatively flat regions of the pressure separated by a region with very large pressure gradient. Linear growth rates for toroidal drift type modes are calculated for discharges in this class, without and with sheared rotation effects. For cases with fully developed barriers, the results with rotation are consistent with a picture in which the radial electric field generated in part by the steep pressure gradient causes local stabilization, and thus reduction of the local anomalous transport, which allows the steep pressure gradient to persist. If rotation is omitted from the calculation for these cases, or if rotation is included for cases without barriers or with partially developed barriers, the unstable region spreads into the steep pressure gradient region.
