(95:5), where the former is mainly used. The detection efficiency was measured to be 98% at the beam rate up to

cps/cm
. Based on the measured horizontal resolution of 0.19-0.46 mm at the drift length of 5-20 cm, the position resolution of better than 0.3 mm is estimated in 1 T magnetic field. The ion backflow fraction was measured to be 5% and reduced up to 3% at the gain of

mm at the beam rates up to
cps/cm
. On the other hand, the distortion with the gate open was measured to be

) reaction. An event with 2
and 2 protons decaying from H-dibaryon is searched for inside the TPC. The TPC has octagonal prism shape drift volume with about 50 cm diameter with 55 cm drift length filled with Ar-CH
(90:10) gas. At the end of the drift volume, 3-layer GEMs are equipped. In order to analyze momenta of produced particles, the TPC is applied with 1 T dipole magnetic field parallel to the drift electric field with a superconducting Helmholz magnet. In order to maximize the acceptance of H-dibaryon events, a diamond target is installed inside the TPC drift volume, in a cylindrical hole opened from the top to the middle of the drift volume. Since extremely high-rate
beam is directly injected into the TPC drift volume to the target, a gating grid and GEMs are adopted to suppress positive-ion feedback.

reaction at 1.7 GeV/c at the K1.8 beam line. The binding energy and decay width of the
bound state can be obtained in the missing mass measurement with a good energy resolution of 2 MeV/c

decay and to reduce the background such as quasi-free hyperon production. Recently, we have carried out a pilot run in June, 2012. The
missing-mass spectrum has been obtained for the first time.

Thermo-chemical Iodine-Sulfur (IS) process has a potential to produce large amount of hydrogen without CO emission by using thermal energy of a high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). In SO
decomposer of IS process, SO
gas is catalytically decomposed into O
and SO
under high temperature condition up to 850
C using the sensible heat of He gas. The decomposer is exposed to the severe corrosive condition. We proposed a new concept of the decomposer, which featured a plate-type heat exchanger made of SiC ceramics and revealed the results of thermal-hydraulic and mechanical strength analysis. To examine the fabricability of the proposed concept, a mock-up model was test-fabricated and issues on the fabricability of large-sized decomposer were clarified. Also, preliminary catalyst tests were carried out to clarify catalyst bed specification of the SO
decomposer.

JAEA has been conducting the HTTR project from the view to establishing technology base on HTGR and also on the IS process. Based on the test results and know-how obtained through the bench-scale tests, a pilot test plant that can produce hydrogen of about 30 Nm/hr is being designed. The test plant will be fabricated with industrial materials such as glass coated steel, SiC ceramics etc, and operated under high pressure condition up to 2 MPa. The test plant will consist of a IS process plant and a helium gas (He) circulation facility (He loop). In parallel to the design study, key components of the IS process such as the sulfuric acid (H
SO
) and the sulfur trioxide (SO
) decomposers working under-high temperature corrosive environments have been designed and test-fabricated to confirm their fabricability. Also, other R&D's are under way such as corrosion, processing of HIx solutions. This paper describes present status of these activities.

Times Cited Count:13 Percentile:31(Nuclear Science & Technology)A new diamond window with the copper-coated edge for an EC launcher is developed. The diamond window is designed to cool its disk edge. Since Cu is coated at the entire edge, ingress of cooling water into a transmission line in case of failure on the edge is negligible. In addition, corrosion of Al blaze between the edge and the Inconel cuffs can be avoided. A 170GHz, RF transmission experiment equivalent to a MW-level transmission was carried out to investigate the capability of the edge cooling. The transmission power and pulse are 55kW and 3sec, respectively. Temperature increase was 45C and alomost became constant. Thermal calculation with tan
of 4.4
10
and thermal conductivity of 1.9kW/m/K agrees with the experiment. Since tan
of the diamond is much higher than the actual one (tan
=2
10
), the temperature increase corresponds to that of 1MW transmission. It concludes that the Cu coating dose not degrade the edge cooling capability and improves the reliability of the diamond window.

Times Cited Count:23 Percentile:17.36(Instruments & Instrumentation)The development of the millimeter wave high power gyrotron with the development of a depressed collector, an over sized cavity and a synthesized diamond output window is under going in JAERI. The performances of 170 GHz, 0.9 MW for 9.2 s and 0.5 MW for 30 s were achieved up to now. It was clarified, however, that pulse extension of the gyrotron was limited by sudden outgassing due to stray RF power deposition to the bellows behind movable mirror. For suppression of stray RF power deposition, the structure of the bellows section was improved to avoid the direct power deposition and the surface of bellows was coated by copper for reduction of RF loss and increase of thermal conductivity. As a result of the modification, temperature increase of bellows was reduced to less than 1/10 and time constant of thermal diffusion shortened to 90 s from 270 s in comparison with before the modification. This indicates that the modification is quite effective for suppression of temperature increase.

Supercritical CO fluid leaching (SFL) method using supercritical CO
fluid containing a complex of HNO
- tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) was applied to removal of uranium from radioactive solid wastes. Sea sands, incineration ashes and porous alumina bricks were employed as matrixes of simulated solid wastes. Real radioactive incineration ash wastes and firebrick wastes were also subjected to the SFL treatment. It was found that uranium could be efficiently removed from both of the simulated wastes and real wastes by the SFL method. The removal efficiency of uranium from the real waste was lower than that from the corresponding artificial waste. About 1 g and 35 mg of uranium were recovered from 10 g of the real ash waste and 37 g of the real firebrick waste, respectively.
