Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：56.47(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Hydridosilicates featuring SiH octahedral moieties represent a rather new class of compounds with potential properties relating to hydrogen storage and hydride ion conductivity. Here, we report on the new representative BaSiH obtained from reacting the Zintl phase hydride BaSiH
with H
fluid at pressures above 4 GPa and subsequent decompression to ambient pressure. It consists of complex SiH
ions, which are octahedrally coordinated by Ba
counterions. The arrangement of Ba and Si atoms deviates only slightly from an ideal fcc NaCl structure. IR and Raman spectroscopy showed SiH bending and stretching modes in the ranges 800-1200 and 1400-1800 cm
, respectively. BaSiH is thermally stable up to 95
C above which decomposition into BaH and Si takes place. DFT calculations indicated a direct band gap of 2.5 eV. The discovery of BaSiH consolidates the compound class of hydridosilicates, accessible from hydrogenations of silicides at gigapascal pressures (
10 GPa). The structural properties of BaSiH suggest that it presents an intermediate (or precursor) for further hydrogenation at considerably higher pressures to the predicted superconducting polyhydride BaSiH.

The J-PARC linac has a medium energy beamline (MEBT1) between RFQ and DTL. The MEBT1 is equipped with an RF beam chopper system to control the macro-bunch beam shape in the longitudinal direction so as to match the Circular Accelerator (RCS) in the latter stage. Two buncher cavities are installed in the existing MEBT1 for the matching the longitudinal shape of the beam with the chopper system and the downstream DTL. However, in principle, a total of three bunchers are required: one for the chopper system and two for beam shape matching with the DTL. Therefore, there have been long discussions about the design of the new MEBT1, which is an MEBT1 with a buncher added. On the other hand, in MEBT1, the space charge effect is very strong, and it is difficult to install beam monitors in the DTL section, so it is difficult to clarify the current experimental results using numerical simulations. We first conducted systematic beam experiments to investigate how the beam quality could be improved by adding a buncher to the MEBT1. As a result of examining the risks and benefits that would improve from remaking MEBT1 from the results of beam experiments, it was found that there was little merit in installing the new MEBT1 in terms of achieving a beam power of a little over 1 MW at the J-PARC accelerators. It was determined that the MEBT1 of 1 can be adequately handled. In this paper, we report the results of beam experiments on the MEBT1 and the review process of the new MEBT1.

As a summer holiday practical training 2020, the feasibility study for nuclear design of a nuclear battery using HTTR core was carried out, and the downsizing of reactor core were studied by the MVP-BURN. As a result, it is clear that a 1.6 m radius reactor core, containing 54 (18
3 layers) fuel blocks with 20% enrichment of 
U, and BeO neutron reflector, could operate continuously for 30 years with thermal power of 5 MW. Number of fuel blocks of this compact core is 36% of the HTTR core. As a next step, the further downsizing of core by changing materials of the fuel block will be studied.

Tritium release into the primary coolant during operation of the JMTR (Japan Materials Testing Reactor) and the JRR-3M (Japan Research Reactor-3M) had been studied. It is found that the recoil release by 
Li(n
,
)
H reaction, which comes from a chain reaction of beryllium neutron reflectors, is dominant. To prevent tritium recoil release, the surface area of beryllium neutron reflectors needs to be minimum in the core design and/or be shielded with other material. In this paper, as the feasibility study of the tritium recoil barrier for the beryllium neutron reflectors, various materials such as Al, Ti, V, Ni, and Zr were evaluated from the viewpoint of the thickness of barriers, activities after long-term operations, and effects on the reactivities. From the results of evaluations, Al would be a suitable candidate as the tritium recoil barrier for the beryllium neutron reflectors.

To realize more stable operation of the J-PARC accelerators, we have a re-design plan of an MEBT1 (Medium Energy Beam Transport). At the J-PARC Linac, the MEBT1 has transverse and longitudinal beam matching section for the DTLs. However there are some locally activated spots in DTL area at the current beam power level. To reduce beam loss during a beam acceleration at the DTLs is a most important task for a stable user operation. The first thing we should do is investigation a connection between beam quality in the MEBT1 and parameters of the upstream hardware. In this presentation, we will report a high intensity beam study results at the MEBT1.

Be is dominant and its calculation results agree well with trends derived from the measured variation of tritium concentration in the primary coolant. It also indicates that the simple calculation method used in this study for the tritium recoil release from the beryllium reflectors can be utilized for an estimation of the tritium release into the primary coolant for a research and testing reactors containing beryllium reflectors.

As a part of study on the mechanism of tritium release to the primary coolant in research and testing reactors, tritium recoil release rate from Li and U impurities in the neutron reflector made by beryllium, aluminum and graphite were calculated by PHITS code. On the other hand, the tritium production from Li and U impurities in beryllium neutron reflectors for JMTR and JRR-3M were calculated by MCNP6 and ORIGEN2 code. By using both results, the amount of recoiled tritium from beryllium neutron reflectors were estimated. It is clear that the amount of recoiled tritium from Li and U impurities in beryllium neutron reflectors are negligible, and 2 and 5 orders smaller than that from beryllium itself, respectively.
