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.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by ionizing radiation pose a major threat to cell survival. The cell can respond to the presence of DSBs, through two major repair pathways: Homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). Higher levels of cell death are induced by high-LET radiation when compared to low-LET radiation, even at the same doses because of less effective or more inefficient DNA repair. In this study, we examine the effects of radiation with different LET values on DNA DSB repair and radiosensitivity. Wild-type cells and HR deficient (but NHEJ proficient) cells exhibited the high RBE values at LET values of 108 keV/
m. The RBE value for each cell type decreased with increasing LET values over 200 keV/m. Although NHEJ proficient cells had an almost constant SER value, NHEJ deficient cells showed a high SER value when compared to NHEJ proficient cells, even with increasing LET values.

Times Cited Count：13 Percentile：63.88(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We have for the first time succeeded to separate Tc from a Mo oxide sample irradiated by accelerator neutrons, and to formulate Tc-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-MDP). Mo, the mother nuclide of Tc, was produced by the Mo(,2)Mo reaction using about 14 MeV neutrons provided at the Fusion Neutronics Source of Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The Tc was separated from Mo by the sublimation method, and its radionuclide purity was confirmed to be higher than 99.99%. The labeling efficiency of Tc-MDP was shown to be higher than 99%. These values exceed the United States Pharmacopeia requirements for a fission product, Mo. Consequently, a Tc radiopharmaceutical preparation formed by using the mentioned Mo can be a promising substitute for the fission product Mo. A longstanding problem to ensure a reliable and constant supply of Mo in Japan can be partially mitigated.

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.

Power modulation technique by anode voltage control was improved to obtain high modulation frequency and 5 kHz has been achieved for NTM stabilizing experiments. Long pulse demonstration of 0.4 MW, 30 s injection to the plasma has been achieved with real time control of anode/cathode-heater. It has been confirmed that the temperature of cooled components were saturated and no evidence of damage were found. An innovative antenna having wide range of beam steering capability with linearly-moving-mirror concept has been designed for long pulse. Beam profile and mechanical strength analyses shows the feasibility of the antenna.

The two-dimensional intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) growth model has been developed to simulate branching cracks of IGSCC. In the model, the IGSCC is grown using the "grain-scaled" factors such as the length and strength of grain boundary and so on. Especially, the corrosion of grain boundary and the influence of shear stress acting on the grain boundary are introduced in the model. Using the model, computer simulation of crack growth was carried out under several load conditions with changing the ratio of axial to shear stress against the grain boundary. As a result of the simulations, we found out that the cause of crack branching was the influence of shear stress against the grain boundary, and that the synergistic effect of shear stress and corrosion of grain boundary leads to the oblique crack growth.

The electron cycrotron range of frequency (ECRF) system (3 MW
5 s at 110 GHz with 4 gyrotrons) will be upgraded to the system having 9 gyrotrons (7 MW 
100 s at 110 GHz and 140 GHz) for JT-60SA (super advanced). For the reference antenna design having rotary mirrors, an effective and reliable method of mirror cooling without water is under consideration. As an alternative antenna design, a new concept with a mirror driven in the linear motion which eliminates the flexible tube for coolant supply is under development. The design study featuring beam profile calculation showed feasibility of the antenna in the 0.48 m 0.48 m port. On the gyrotron development, 1.5 MW, 1s has been achieved using Si
N
insulator instead of Al
O. Improvement of the mode converter is in progress and the test aiming at 1 MW, 100 s oscillation will be started in March.

In JT-60SA, 7 MW of electron cyclotron heating and current drive will be performed with four units of 110 GHz and five units of 140 GHz electron cyclotron range of frequency (ECRF) systems. Transmission lines will be connected into four upper outer ports where quasi-optical antennas will be installed. Two types of antenna systems are being considered. One is a conventional type rotation antenna and the other is a new concept antenna which can control incident angle by a linearly driven mirror. Those antennas are now being evaluated from the view points of cooling structure, the range of incident angle and beam width. In addition, 1.5 MW for 1 s oscillation was carried out by one gyrotron of JT-60U ECRF system. Moreover, the present 110 GHz gyrotron will be improved which aims at the development of JT-60SA gyrotron. In this presentation, current status of design study for JT-60SA ECRF system and the latest results of the JT-60U ECRF system will be presented.
