Times Cited Count：32 Percentile：90.41(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Fission-fragment mass distributions were measured for 
U, 
Np and 
Pu populated in the excitation-energy range from 10 to 60 MeV by multi-nucleon transfer channels in the reaction 
O + 
U at the JAEA tandem facility. Among them, the data for 
U and 
Np were observed for the first time. It was found that the mass distributions for all the studied nuclides maintain a double-humped shape up to the highest measured energy in contrast to expectations of predominantly symmetric fission due to the washing out of nuclear shell effects. From a comparison with the dynamical calculation based on the fluctuation-dissipation model, this behavior of the mass distributions was unambiguously attributed to the effect of multi-chance fission.

This report describes the results of the conceptual design study of the SlimCS fusion DEMO reactor aiming at demonstrating fusion power production in a plant scale and allowing to assess the economic prospects of a fusion power plant. The design study has focused on a compact and low aspect ratio tokamak reactor concept with a reduced-sized central solenoid, which is novel compared with previous tokamak reactor concept such as SSTR (Steady State Tokamak Reactor). The reactor has the main parameters of a major radius of 5.5 m, aspect ratio of 2.6, elongation of 2.0, normalized beta of 4.3, fusion out put of 2.95 GW and average neutron wall load of 3 MW/m
. This report covers various aspects of design study including systemic design, physics design, torus configuration, blanket, superconducting magnet, maintenance and building, which were carried out increase the engineering feasibility of the concept.

Times Cited Count：125 Percentile：98.18(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Recent design study on SlimCS focused mainly on the torus configuration including blanket, divertor, materials and maintenance scheme. For vertical stability of elongated plasma and high beta access, a sector-wide conducting shell is arranged in between replaceable and permanent blanket. The reactor adopts pressurized-water-cooled solid breeding blanket. Compared with the previous advanced concept with supercritical water, the design options satisfying tritium self-sufficiency are relatively scarce. Considered divertor technology and materials, an allowable heat load to the divertor plate should be 8 MW/m or lower, which can be a critical constraint for determining a handling power of DEMO (a combination of alpha heating power and external input power for current drive).

The magnet system consists of three sets of coils which are charged separately. A set of sweep coils are located inside of the main coil. The sweep coil produces only 
0.2 T but is charged and discharged within 10 seconds so as to control electron trajectory. To avoid quench with the rise of the temperature from the large AC loss, this set of coils are wound with Nb
Sn conductor. This magnet system will contribute to the fast control of the gyrotron oscillation frequency.

Times Cited Count：53 Percentile：87.5(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The concept for a compact DEMO reactor named "SlimCS" is presented. Distinctive features of the concept is low aspect ratio (
= 2.6) and use of a reduced-size center solenoid (CS) which has a function of plasma shaping rather than poloidal flux supply. The reduced-size CS enables us to introduce a thin toroidal field (TF) coil system which contributes to reducing the weight and construction cost of the reactor. SlimCS is as compact as advanced commercial reactor designs such as ARIES-RS and produces 1 GWe in spite of moderate requirements for plasma parameters. Merits of low-, i.e. vertical stability for high elongation and high beta limit are responsible for such reasonable physics requirements.

A detailed design for a New Material Nitric Acid Recovery Evaporator was carried out with a plan to use it to replace an already constructed stainless steel Nitric Acid Recovery Evaporator at the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation's Tokai Works. Most of the original Evaporator's conditions such as compliance with applicable laws, standards, structure, treatment performance and operating conditions were maintained when designing the new machine. The material is titanium with the addition of 5% tantalum. The Evaporator was designed with an operational life expectance of 10 years. We have calculated that the new Evaporator will have sufficient strength (including a seismatic design) and have the same evaporative performance as the already constructed one. During design, we referred to the results of already completed basic designs (Phase 1) of New Material Nitric Acid Recovery Evaporators, design and production of small-scale test equipment units, and the development of successful joints between different materials. We also considered manufacturing, installation, trial runs, maintenance, and the specifications for materials used for manufacturing, installation, piping and operation of the new Evaporator.

To study comprehensively the marine system in the East Asian region, we are currently extending the prediction model of the Japan/East Sea to the broader northwestern Pacific region. Because we find that tide gauge data improves coastal current significantly, a new gauge is installed at Hegura Island in this summer. Strong sea level changes are found in coastal region of the East China Sea associated with the local wind variation and the river discharge.

Just after an accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP), data of radionuclides released from the FDNPP were measured for environmental samples by some researchers at individual research institute and university. However a comprehensive database including these data is not constructed now. Working group of the Japan Society of Nuclear and Radiochemical Sciences decided to construct a comprehensive database of data of the radionuclides in environmental samples. This database contains data such as sampling location, sampling method, sampling times, type of measurement system, concentrations of the radionuclides and others in the publications/reports and unpublished issues. Researchers input the data in a dedicated Excel sheet. The working group verifies and registers the data in the database, and then summarizes them in a scientific report.
