Proceedings of 5th International Symposium on Material Testing Reactors (ISMTR-5) (Internet), 9 Pages, 2012/10
A simulator for materials testing reactors has been developed to be utilized for human resource development with an advancement of technology in mind. The simulator is designed based on the JMTR, and the reactor core is modeled with REMARK, in which a 3-dimensional, 4-energy group, time dependent, diffusion theory model is applied. The thermo-hydraulic properties in the reactor vessel are modeled using RELAP5-HD
, which is the real-time version of RELAP5-3D code. REMARK
interacts with the RELAP5-HD
thermal hydraulic model by providing power to the moderator. The RELAP5-HD
model, in return, provides thermal hydraulic feedback to the REMARK
model. For the primary and secondary cooling loops, main heat exchangers, purification system and cooling towers, the 2-phase, 6-equation matrix solution modeling tool JTopmeret
is used. The high fidelity level of modern simulators is not only a valuable tool for human resource training, but also an analysis tool for safety in normal/transient/accident conditions of materials testing reactors.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:47.38(Nuclear Science & Technology)Several technical R&D activities related to the blanket materials are newly launched as a part of the Broader Approach (BA) activities, which was initiated by the EU and Japan. According to the common interests of these parties for DEMO, R&Ds on reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steels as structural material, SiCf/SiC composites as a flow channel insert material and/or alternative structural material, advanced tritium breeders and neutron multipliers, and tritium technology are carried out through the BA DEMO R&D program, in order to establish the technical bases on the blanket materials and the tritium technology required for DEMO design. This paper describes overall schedule of those R&D activities and recent progress in Japan carried out by JAEA as the domestic implementing agency on BA, collaborating with Japanese universities and other research institutes.

Times Cited Count:14 Percentile:70.49(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)As a part of the Broader Approach (BA) activities, the research and development on blanket related materials and tritium technology have been initiated toward DEMO by Japan and EU. Recently, those five R&D items have progressed substantially in Japan and EU. As a preparatory work aiming at the RAFM steel muss-production development, a 5-ton heat of RAFM steel (F82H) was procured with the Electro Slag Re-melting as a secondary melting. The result of the double notch tensile test method for the NITE-SiC/SiC specimen indicated notch insensitivity and very minor size effect on proportional limit tensile stress and fracture strength. For the fabrication technology development of beryllide neutron multiplayer pebbles, Be- Ti inter-metallic pebbles have been sintered directly from the mixed powder of Be and Ti in Japan.

The largest of such fluctuations was gradual and lasted for about 20 minutes, and was found to be high-energy rays having a continuous energy spectrum up to 10 MeV or more. As for the feature of these fluctuations, it seems naturally that such fluctuations are caused by the bremsstrahlung photons generated by the energetic electrons produced continuously with an intense electric field in the thundercloud rather than originated in the process of lightning discharge.

Times Cited Count:34 Percentile:45.45(Nuclear Science & Technology)With the main aim of providing physics basis for ITER and the steady-state tokamak reactors, JT-60/JT-60U has been developing and optimizing the operational concepts, and extending the discharge regimes toward sustainment of high integrated performance in the reactor relevant parameter regime. In addition to achievement of the equivalent break-even condition (QDTeq up to 1.25) and a high fusion triple product = 1.5E21 m-3skeV, JT-60U has demonstrated the integrated performance of high confinement, high beta-N, full non-inductive current drive with a large fraction of bootstrap current in the reversed magnetic shear and in the high-beta-p ELMy H mode plasmas characterized by both internal and edge transport barriers. The key factors in optimizing these plasmas are profile and shape controls. As represented by discovery of various Internal Transport Barriers, JT-60/JT-60U has been emphasizing freedom and restriction of profiles in various confinement modes. JT-60U has demonstrated applicability of these high confinement modes to ITER and also clarified remaining issues.

Fluctuations of energetic radiation that were seemed to be caused by a summer thunderstorm activity were observed at the top of Mt. Fuji. The largest of such fluctuations was gradual and lasted for about 20 minutes, and was found to be high-energy rays having a continuous energy spectrum up to 10 MeV or more. As for the feature of these fluctuations, it seems naturally that such fluctuations are caused by the bremsstrahlung photons generated by the runaway electrons produced continuously with an intense electric field in the thundercloud rather than originated in the process of lightning discharge. The 5-inch NaI detector used in the observation was so sensitive to photons that it could not have differentiated electrons from photons even if high-energy electrons had been incident upon the detector. When conducting the analysis of energy spectrum, sufficient convergence was achieved in the calculation even in the case where only the sensitivity to photons was considered.

The dose rate of the -rays increases in association with the activities of the thunderstorm. They were observed on the ground in the winter season of Japan. As an observed result, the following two types of the radiation enhancements have been found during the winter thunderstorm activities; the gradual variation of photon intensity with energy of a few MeV, and the burst type of the radiation that is attributed to the injection of high energy photons with the energy over 10 MeV. Furthermore, fluctuations of energetic radiation that were seemed to be caused by a summer thunderstorm activity were observed at the top of Mt. Fuji. The largest of such fluctuations was gradual and lasted for about 20 minutes, and was found to be high-energy
rays having a continuous energy spectrum up to 10 MeV or more.

In this study, we investigate the influence of surface properties of mesoporous AlO
on
Mo adsorption and
Tc elution properties for practical
Mo/
Tc generators. It is clarified that the quantity of -OH groups on the surface of mesoporous walls affects the adsorbed
Mo amount. Our mesoporous Al
O
demonstrates two times higher the
Mo adsorption capacity than commercial Al
O
