The potential in each state of charge (SOC) during charging of LiNiMnCoO is higher than that during discharging. To clarify the effect of chargedischarge operating conditions on the electrochemical reaction, LiNiMnCoO was charged and discharged under various charge-discharge operating ranges, and OCP, crystal structure, and oxidation states of the ransition metals were evaluated by electrochemical measurement, XRD, and XAFS. These results indicate that OCP, lattice parameters, and oxidation states of the transition metals of LiNiMnCoO in each SOC are not constant. The XRD results indicate that two phases, namely, LiNiMnCoO-like and LiMnO-like, exist in LiNiMnCoO.

A five-year research project has been initiated in 2005 to develop a code based on the MPS (Moving Particle Semi-implicit) method for detailed analysis of specific phenomena in core disruptive accidents (CDAs) of sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). The code is named COMPASS (Computer Code with Moving Particle Semi-implicit for Reactor Safety Analysis). The specific phenomena include (1) fuel pin failure and disruption, (2) molten pool boiling, (3) melt freezing and blockage formation, (4) duct wall failure, (5) low-energy disruptive core motion, (6) debris-bed coolability, and (7) metal-fuel pin failure. Validation study of COMPASS is progressing for these key phenomena. In this paper, recent COMPASS results of detailed analyses for the several specific phenomena are summarized.

A computer code, named COMPASS, is developed for multi-physics analysis of core disruptive accidents of sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). A meshless method, called MPS method, is employed since complex thermal-hydraulics and structural problems with various phase change processes have to be analyzed. Verification for separeted basic processes and validation for practical phenomena are carried out. COMPASS is also expected to investigate molten fuel discharge to avoid re-criticality in large size SFR cores. Both MOX and metal fuels are considered. Eutectic reactions between the metal fuel and the cladding material are investigated by phase diagram calculation, classical and first-principles molecular dynamics. Basic studies relevant to the numerical methods support the code development of COMPASS. Parallel processing is implemented by OpenMP to treat large-scale problems. A visualization tool is also prepared by using AVS.

A computer code, named COMPASS, is being developed for various complex phenomena of core disruptive accidents (CDAs) in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). The COMPASS is designed to analyze multi-physics problems involving thermal hydraulics, structure and phase change, in a unified framework of the MPS (Moving Particle Semi-implicit) method. The project has been carried out by six organizations for five years from FY2005 to FY2009. In this paper, the outcomes of the project in FY2007 are presented. Three validation calculations were completed by following the validation plan: melt freezing and blockage formation, molten pool boiling, and duct wall failure. The COMPASS code development was supported by basic studies of the numerical method, material science for eutectic reaction of the metal fuel, and SIMMER-III analyses.

A 5-year research project started in FY2005 in the framework of Innovative Nuclear Research and Development Program funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan. A computer code, named COMPASS (Computer Code with Moving Particle Semi-implicit for Reactor Safety Analysis), is being developed using the Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method for various complex phenomena of severe accidents in fast breeder reactors. Both MOX and metal fuels are considered. Eutectic reactions between the metal fuel and the cladding material are being investigated by molecular dynamics and molecular orbital methods. The molten metal flow with solidification was analyzed by MPS. The elastic analysis of a hexagonal wrapper tube was analyzed by the MPS method as well. The results were compared with an experiment and an calculation using an commercial code. Eutectic reactions were calculated by molecular dynamics and compared with the references. We found that the combination of the above numerical methods was useful for multi-physics and multi-scale phenomena of core disruptive accidents in fast breeder reactors.

The X-ray and neutron reflectometries have now widely used for the study of buried interfaces in thin films and multilayers. Neutron is an ideal probe for the reflectometry because of its transparency for the most of materials, and its sensitivity of light elements and magnetic moments in the materials. An intense pulsed neutron source (JSNS) is now under construction at Materials and Life Science Facility (MLF) as a part of J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) in Tokai-mura, Ibaraki prefecture, Japan. JSNS will provide the world highest intensity pulsed neutron for promoting materials science and life science in the beginning of the next spring. We have sent a letter of intent which proposed to construct a polarized neutron reflectometer at MLF to the director of J-PARC, and a preliminary examination has been passed. The outline design specification of this new polarized neutron reflectometer will be presented.

The characterization of the magnetic interface structure in magnetic multilayers of a read sensor head is indispensable for producing the high-performance and high-reliability read sensor heads, because the device properties strongly depend on the structure. X-ray and neutron reflectometry is a powerful and nondestructive technique to investigate the internal layered structures. In this presentation, it is reported that several results of measurements of the magnetic multilayers for the read sensor heads using a conventional X-ray reflectometer in a laboratory and a new neutron reflectometer, SUIREN, installed at the C2-2 cold neutron beam port of the neutron guide hall in the research reactor, JRR-3, of Japan Atomic Energy Agency.
