The corrosion behaviour of FeCrAl-ODS steels for the accident tolerant fuel cladding of LWRs were investigated in nitric acid solutions for the reprocessing process of spent fuels. The corrosion tests were carried out at 60C, 80
C and the boiling point of the solutions, and the specimens were then analysed by XPS. The corrosion remarkably progressed at the boiling point, and the highest corrosion rate was 0.22 mm/y. In the oxide film, the atomic concentration of Fe was lower, than that in the base material, and those of Cr and Al were higher. The results show that the corrosion of FeCrAl-ODS steels in hot nitric acid solution is not severe because of the high corrosion resistance of the oxide film formed on the material; hence, the corrosion resistance of the new cladding materials in the dissolution process of spent fuel is acceptable for reprocessing operations.

Radiation response is one of the important properties for space solar cells. It should be well understood so as to accurately predict their degradation in orbit and also to improve their radiation tolerance. Recently, a phenomenon, recovery from the radiation degradation by light soaking, on inverted metamorphic (IMM) triple-junction (3J) solar cells was found out. In this work, the light soaking annealing effects on electron irradiated IMM 3J solar cells are reported. IMM 3J solar cells irradiated with 1 MeV electrons with the fluence of 310
e
/cm
showed the recovery of open-circuit voltage, Voc, up to 43 mV after light (AM0, 1 sun) soaking of 3 hours. The increment of the electroluminescence intensity for InGaP in the IMM 3J cells due to the light soaking suggests that the Voc recovery occurs in InGaP top-cell rather than GaAs middle-cell or InGaAs bottom-cell.

Yb(

configuration. Possible structure evolution of the yrast line from predominantly vibrational to rotational with increasing spin is discussed with the help of E
over spin curves. Additionally, calculations of Total Routhian surfaces have been performed to investigate the band properties.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:58.82(Nuclear Science & Technology)An efficient dissolution process was established for future reprocessing in which MOX fuels with high plutonium contents and dissolver solution with high heavy-metal concentrations will be treated. This dissolution process involves short stroke shearing of fuels (10 mm in length). The dissolution kinetics of irradiated mixed-oxide fuels and the effects of the Pu content, heavy-metal concentration and fuel form on the dissolution rate were investigated. Irradiated fuel was decreased with increasing Pu content. Kinetic analysis based on the fragmentation model indicated that the dissolution rate of irradiated fuel was affected not only by the volume ratio of liquid to solid ( ratio), but also by the exposed surface area (
ratio). The penetration rate of nitric acid is expected to be decreased at high heavy-metal concentrations by a reduction in the
ratio, but enhanced by shearing the fuel pieces with short strokes and thus enlarging the
ratio.

Times Cited Count:43 Percentile:72.57(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The 34 million year (My) interval of the Late Triassic is marked by the formation of several large impact structures on Earth. As with the Chicxulub impact event at the Cretaceous/Paleogene boudary, the Late Triassic impact events have been considered a factor in biotic extinction events in the Late Triassic (e.g., the Triassic/Jurassic boundary). However, the causal link between these impact events and a mass extinction event in the Late Triassic remains controversial because of a lack of stratigraphic records of their ejecta deposits. Here we report evidence for an impact event (platinum group elements anomaly, nickel-rich magnetite and microspherules) deposited within a Paleo-Pacific basin in the middle Norian (Upper Triassic) deep-sea sediment in Japan. This includes anomalously high abundances of iridium, up to 41.5 parts per billion (ppb), in the ejecta deposit, which suggests that the iridium anomaly may be found on a global scale. The middle Norian age of the ejecta deposit suggests that the impact event that produced the 100-km-wide Manicouagan crater in Canada8 is most likely related to its deposition. Our analysis of siliceous microfossils shows no evidence of a mass extinction event across the impact event horizon, and no contemporaneous faunal turnover is seen in other marine fossils. However, such an event has been reported among terrestrial tetrapods and floras in North America. We therefore hypothesize that the Manicouagan impact caused the catastrophic collapse of terrestrial ecosystems near the impact site, but not within the marine realm.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:23.90(Chemistry, Analytical)The Ir concentrations in some standard rock samples were determined by using the multiple ray detection method. The use of the multiple
ray detection method, which was developed for nuclide quantification, yielded better resolution and sensitivity than the ordinary singles
ray detection method. Iridium is one of the least abundant elements in Earth's crust, with an average mass fraction of 0.001 ppm in a crust rock. However, iridium is relatively more abundant (concentration: 0.5 ppm or more) in undifferentiated meteorites. Therefore iridium abundance anomalies in geological samples provide important information about meteorite impact. The standard rock samples used in this study were SARM-76, FC-1 and FC-2. The SARM-76 was prepared from a platinum ore, and issued by the South African Bureau of Standards. FC-1 and FC-2 were obtained from fish clay sediment samples from Stevens Klint, Denmark.

Times Cited Count:20 Percentile:97.27(Chemistry, Analytical)The effects of Pu content were studied on the dissolution rate of irradiated mixed oxide fuel and on the mass of insoluble residue. Kinetic analysis was conducted being based on the surface-reaction model to estimate the dissolution rate of irradiated fuels with Pu contents less than 30% and with burn-up ranging from 40.1 - 63.7 GWD/t. The dissolution rate of irradiated mixed-oxide fuels was found to decrease exponentially with an increase of the Pu content, but those were estimated to be up to 1000 times larger than those of non-irradiated fuels with the same Pu content. The amount of insoluble residue was found to increase with increase of the Pu content, possibly due to the promotion of fission product formation. Up to 1.3% of initial heavy metal was remained as the residue.
