In order to reduce the influence on a plant schedule of the MONJU by the maintenance of dew point hygrometers, The JAEA examined a capacitance type dew point hygrometer as an alternative dew point hygrometer for a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer which had been used at the CV-LRT in the MONJU. As a result of comparing a capacitance type dew point hygrometer with a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer at the CV-LRT (Atmosphere: nitrogen, Testing time: 24 hours), there weren't significant difference between a capacitance type dew point hygrometer and a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer. As a result of comparing a capacitance dew point hygrometer with a high-mirror-surface type dew point hygrometer for long term verification (Atmosphere: air, Testing time: 24 months), the JAEA confirmed that a capacitance type dew point hygrometer satisfied the instrument specification (2.04C) required by the JEAC4203-2008.

Biomass-derived branched sugar resist material was developed for environmentally-friendly electron beam lithography (EBL). The developed resist enables organic solvent-free water-developable process. The resist performance was evaluated using 75 keV EBL system. Lines of 50-200 nm were fabricated with high sensitivity of 7 C/cm. The resist is developable in pure water at 23 C for 60 s, and it has acceptable CF etch selectivity.

The electronic structure of lithium amide, which is lightweight complex hydride expected as a high-capacity hydrogen storage material, is investigated by N 1 soft X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The overall feature of the electronic structure of lithium amide by the XES and XAS is consistent with the band calculation, while the strongly hybridized state with H 1 is located at higher binding energy than the band calculation.

We have investigated the effect of hydrogenation on La and electronic states in metallic LaH by X-ray absorption near edge structure at the La -edges. As the hydrogen content increases from 0 to 2.6, white-line intensity at the La -edges shows a remarkable increase in the range of 2.0. This is interpreted as the increase in La hole induced by interstitial H atoms on the octahedral sites. On the other hand, the shoulder structure at the La -edge disappears in the process of = 0.0 2.0, indicating that the - hybridization is weakened by H atoms on the tetrahedral sites. This study demonstrates that H atoms on the two interstitial H sites provide different contribution to the modification of the electronic states.

Basic characteristics of Radix RN-15; a commercially available undyed polymethylmethacrylate dosimeter, was studied also in the dose range 110 kGy, for its wide application to radiation processing especially for the evaluation to decide sterilization dose and the quality assurance of food irradiation. The measurable dose range of 110 kGy is obtained at the read-out wavelength of 280 nm that is shorter than conventional read-out wavelength of 320 nm. The post-irradiation stability of dose response for 6 kGy is less than 45% for longer than 24 h after irradiation. The dose response slope at 6kGy while held at irradiation temperatures in the range -4040 degree, increases with temperature up to 20 degree as the maximum, and decreases at higher temperatures. Radix RN-15 has linear temperature dependence with a coefficient of +0.25%/degree, relative to the dose response at under 20 degree, at irradiation temperature in the range -4020 degree.

The excitation function of the Li(,n)B reaction was measured while identifying the final state event by event in the region of E = 0.7 - 2.6 MeV using a highly efficient detector system and a low-energy Li beam. The results are much improved both in statistics and precisions, and show smaller cross sections than those of previous measurements by a factor of more than 2 in the low-energy region of E 1.5 MeV. A resonance-like structure is found at around E = 0.85 MeV.

The low-lying levels in La have been studied through the -decay of Ce ( = 29 s) produced by bombarding a Mo target with a 185-MeV Cl beam. Reaction products were on-line mass-separated, and -ray singles and - coincidence measurements were performed. Conversion electrons were also measured and multipolarities of transitions have been derived. A half-life of an excited state was determined by the - delayed coincidence technique. The level scheme obtained has been compared with calculations based on the Nilsson model.
