Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:43.74(Engineering, Mechanical)To compare and assess the creep-fatigue life evaluation methods for stress concentration point, a series of creep-fatigue test was performed with notched specimens made of Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel. Mechanical creep-fatigue tests and thermal creep-fatigue test were performed. A series of Finite Element Analysis was also carried out to predict the number of cycles to failure by the several creep-fatigue life evaluation methods. Then these predictions were compared with the test results. Several types of evaluation methods such are stress redistribution locus (SRL) method, simple elastic follow-up method and the methods described in the JSME FRs code were applied. Through the comparisons, it was appeared that SRL method gave rational conservative prediction of the creep-fatigue life for all conditions tested in this study. The JSME FRs code gave an evaluation over 70 times conservative lives comparing with the test results.

Immersion tests and rest potential measurements under hyper-alkaline and high sodium nitrate concentrations were conducted to elucidate and improve model predictions of chemical interactions between carbon steel and nitrate ion in high concentrations of nitrate salt. The modified model can estimate the tendency of time dependent variation of chemical species and of rest potentials.

A new type of two-dimensional photonic crystal (2-D PhC) waveguide was designed using finite difference time domain method to operate at a wavelength of 1.55 m applicable to optical fiber-communication systems. We estimated that a triangular-lattice 2-D PhC structure formed by air holes with a diameter of 465 nm and a period of 664 nm suit our purpose. To form a core of the waveguide, Si ions were implanted into a SiO layer by using a 400-kV ion implanter. The implantation energy was 80 keV and the implantation amount was 110 ions/cm. The electron beam resist was spin-coated on a substrate and the designed pattern was written lithographically in the resist using Electron Beam. Atomic force microscope measurements revealed that the diameter and the period of air holes of the waveguide were 466 and 666 nm. These values were nearly equal to the designed ones. We thus succeeded in fabricating 2-D PhC waveguides in a Si-ion-implanted SiO layer.

The JMTR has been refurbished to restart operation in FY2011. The restarted JMTR plays roles of (1) measures for long-term operation of light water reactors, (2) improvement in scientific technique, (3) increase of industrial use, (4) training of human resources, etc. It is needed to operate the restarted JMTR safety and stably and maintain high available factor (5070%) because of increasing of irradiation utilization demand. In this report, measures for training of reactor operators, organization for operating, etc were proposed to operate reactor safety and smoothly. And also reactor operation procedure was examined to improve available factor up to world level for materials testing reactor. As a result, it was turned out to be possible to realize stably 210 days operation per year (available factor: 60%).

Times Cited Count:109 Percentile:98.55(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Experiments were conducted on simultaneous recovering of uranium and plutonium electrochemically into laboratory scale liquid cadomium cathodes(LCCs) at different U/Pu ratios in the salt phase. The influence of the salt composition on the recovered amount of uranium and plutonium, the morphology of uranium and plutonium in the LCCs, and the behavior of americium were examined. It was shouwn that there is a threshold in the U/Pu ratio in the salt phase for the successful simultaneous recovery of uranium and plutonium up to 10wt% in high current efficiencies.

Electrolysis experiments were carried to recover plutonium and uranium into liquid cadmium cathodes from molten salt at high cathode current densities. In the electrolysis at 101mA/cm, 10.4wt.% of heavy metals in the cathode was recovered at almost 100% of current efficiency. In the electrolysis at 156mA/cm, the cathode potential ascended after approximately 8wt.% of heavy metals was recovered and some deposit was observed outside of the crucible.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)High energy negative-ion-based neutral beam injection (N-NBI) is expected as an efficient and reliable tool of heating and current driving for reactor plasmas such as ITER. A world wide activity on developing technology of negative ion production and beam formation started in 1980's and the great progress has been achieved up to now. In particular, Japan has two large projects that planned adopting N-NBI for real plasma experiments; the JT-60U tokamak and the LHD heliotron, which further motivated the R&D activity. These R&D programs were carried out at JAERI and NIFS separately in Japan, and both were successfully done. The first beam injection experiment was made on the JT-60U in 1996, followed by the LHD in 1998. They were the first experiments on heating plasma by high energy beam in tokamaks and in stellerators, and the obtained results were very promising.
