The Health Physics Society of Japan established a working group to obtain the insights and findings from the articles, which are related to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F) accident, published in the Japanese Journal of Health Physics. This paper describes the results of the review on 47 articles, which are classified into the field without risk communication, environmental measurement and monitoring, radiation dose measurement and assessment, radiation medicine and radioactive waste. In the reviewed articles, there are various insights and issues depending on the standpoint of the authors and social interests in the timing those published. It is important to face these insights and issues to consider prudently "what is health physics or radiation protection?" for the future development of the Health Physics society.

Thermal easy axis and thermal diffusivity of uniaxial carbon fiber-reinforced plastic sheets were determined by a offset periodic laser heating method, and investigated relationship between the thermal easy axis and fiber orientation with different thickness of CFRP sheet specimen, experimentally. It was clarified that the orientation of the thermal easy axis spreads in the in-plane direction with the sheet thickness deceases. Then, thermal diffusivity of CFRP specimens in the out-of-plane and in-plane direction were measured by two method: a variable-frequency method and a variable-displacement method, respectively. In the results of the out-of-plane directions, thermal diffusivity almost consistent with the carbon fiber direction were obtained. In contrast, the in-plane directions of those were exhibited unexpected value. Moreover, thermal diffusivity determination by offset periodic heating method was carried out. Finally, it is found that the thermal diffusivity considering the thermal easy axis with fiber angle was different characteristics from the in-plane direction measurement.

Due to the increasing heat generation density of electronic devices, unidirectional Carbon-fiber-reinforced Plastic (CFRP) has gained interest as a heat-dissipating material owing to its high thermal conductivity, high anisotropy, and high strength. If CFRPs can be used to conduct heat in the desired direction of dissipation, more efficient thermal designs are possible. To control heat propagation, it is necessary to understand the heat propagation behavior within CFRPs at each fiber angle by determining the direction of heat propagation, referred to as thermal orientation. We previously demonstrated an approach for determining the thermal orientation of CFRPs using a periodic heating method, wherein the heat propagation in CFRPs was classified into two directions: the direction of the carbon fiber direction and the direction of the fiber-matrix interface. It has been suggested that the fiber-matrix interface has a significant effect on the heat propagation of CFRPs, which increases with the increase in CFRP thickness. However, the effect of CFRP thickness on thermal orientation is yet unknown. In the current study, we investigated the effect of the fiber-matrix interface on thermal orientation using the periodic heating method for CFRPs with varying thicknesses.

The J-PARC 3-50BT line is the beam transport line from 3-GeV rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS) to 50-GeV main ring (MR). The RCS is the high-intensity proton accelerator, where designed beam power is 1 MW, and has the complex source of space charge effect, etc. Therefore, the uncontrolled emittance growth and beam halo increase nonlinearly with the increasing the beam power. Additionally, the physical aperture of MR with 81 mm mrad is smaller than that of RCS with 486 mm mrad. Therefore, the 3-50BT line has the collimators in order to remove the tail or halo of the extracted beam from the RCS. The designed collimator aperture is 54 mm mrad. It is required to measure and optimize the optics parameters in the collimator area for taking full advantage of the beam collimation. Especially, it is very important to make the dispersion functions free in the collimator area and optimize the beta function. This paper will introduce the method of optics measurement and report the result of the measurement and optimization based on the simulation.

In order to examine the feasibility of the experiment, we measured the background rates of different detector candidate sites, which are located at the third floor of the MLF, using a detector consisting of plastic scintillators with a fiducial mass of 500 kg. The gammas and neutrons induced by the beam as well as the backgrounds from the cosmic rays were measured, and the results are described in this article.

Circulation of scientific information improves internationally today, and English which is "universal language" takes the leading part for scientific communication. On the other hand, non-English articles are still "gray literatures" due to language barriers though physical circulation improves as well as English articles. In the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) database operated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), bibliographic information such as title and abstract etc. is written in English. This feature of the INIS database contributes to international circulation of scientific information of the nuclear field. However, titles of journals written by non-English language were described by transliterated Roman alphabet, non-native users cannot understand natures and subjects of journals written by non-English language. Non-native users cannot understand the nature of the journal with this journal title description, and then they fail to get the useful article. This language barrier should be broken through as soon as possible for circulation improvement of journals written by non-English language. So we develop a special journal titles translation list of journals written in Japanese for the INIS database, as attempt to improve circulation of articles in journals written by non-English language. We will release this list on the INIS database for circulation improvement of journals written by non-English language, and we will implement the list into the database for user's convenience in the future.

Electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive (CD) are key tools to control fusion plasma especially for effective electron heating and for suppression of neoclassical tearing mode (NTM). Recently, developments of a high power gyrotron and a power modulation technique have been successfully achieved on JT-60U ECRF system in order to enhance the system performance. Stable gyrotron oscillation with oscillation power of 1.5 MW for 1 s was demonstrated in 2007, for the first time. Then temperature rise of cavity and collector has been investigated. It has been shown that the longer pulse operation with 1.5 MW by an improved 110 GHz gyrotron is possible. In addition, modulated ECCD in synchronized with NTM rotation has been performed with the oscillation power of 0.8 MW and the frequency around 5 kHz. The synchronizing system has worked very well and it has played an essential role in NTM suppression experiments on JT-60U.

It proceeds with the beam monitor production of the beam diagnosis system with J-PARC. In this paper, the present status of beam position monitors (BPM) for the SDTL is described. The impedance of strip line monitor have been adjusted in the construction of housing and electrodes of the BPM. The 4-stripline BPM has already been examined in the medium energy beam transport (MEBT) line. Preliminary results of beam position measurement for various beam conditions are reported.

As a joint project of KEK and JAERI, a MW class of high intensity proton accelerator (J-PARC), consisting of Linac, 3 GeV-RCS, 50 GeV-MR, is under construction at Tokai, Japan. For this accelerator, it is required to minimize the beam loss (typically, lower than 0.11 W/m at the linac). To achieve the requirement, beam trajectory needs to be controlled with accuracy of some 100 micro-meter. The first stage of the acceleration (up to 181 MeV during the first stage of construction) is done by linac. The beam position monitor (BPM) in the linac utilizes 4 strip-line pickups (50 ohm) on the beam transportation chamber. In this paper, systematic calibration of the BPM is described.
