Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:37.54(Instruments & Instrumentation)IFMIF is an accelerator based neutron facility having two set of linear accelerators each producing 125mA/CW deuterium ion beams (250mA in total) at 40MeV. The LIPAc (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator) being developed in the IFMIF-EVEDA project consists of an injector, a RFQ accelerator, and a part of superconducting Linac, whose target is to demonstrate 125mA/CW deuterium ion beam acceleration up to 9MeV. The injector has been developed in CEA Saclay and already demonstrated 140mA/100keV deuterium beam. The injector was disassembled and delivered to the International Fusion Energy Research Center (IFERC) in Rokkasho, Japan, and the commissioning has started after its reassembly 2014; the first beam production has been achieved in November 2014. Up to now, 100keV/120mA/CW hydrogen ion beam has been produced with a low beam emittance of 0.2 .mm.mrad (rms, normalized).

Under the framework of Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and Euratom, IFMIF/EVEDA project was launched in 2007 to validate the key technologies to realize IFMIF. The most crucial technology to realize IFMIF is two set of linear accelerator each producing 125mA/CW deuterium ion beams up to 40MeV. The prototype accelerator, whose target is 125mA/CW deuterium ion beam acceleration up to 9MeV, is being developed in International Fusion Research Energy Center (IFERC) in Rokkasho, Japan. The injector developed in CEA Saclay was delivered in Rokkasho in 2014, and is under commissioning. Up to now, 100keV/120mA/CW hydrogen ion beams and 100keV/90mA/CW duty deuterium ion beams are successfully produced with a low beam emittance of 0.21 .mm.mrad (rms, normalized). Delivery of RFQ components will start in 2015, followed by the installation of RF power supplies in 2015.

Three electrostatic accelerators at TIARA were operated on schedule in fiscal year 2012 except changing its schedule by cancellations of users. The yearly operation time of the 3 MV tandem accelerator, the 400 kV ion implanter and the 3MV single-ended accelerator were in the same levels as the ordinary one, whose operation time totaled to 2,073, 1,847 and 2,389 hours, respectively. The tandem accelerator had no trouble, whereas the ion implanter and the single-ended accelerator stopped by any troubles for one day and four days, respectively. The molecular ion beam of helium hydride was generated by the ion implanter, because the users required irradiation of several cluster ions in order to study the effect of irradiation. As a result, its intensity of beam was 50 nA at 200 kV. The ion beam of tungsten (W) at 15 MeV was accelerated by the tandem accelerator, whose intensity was 20 nA at charge state of 4+, because of the request from a researcher in the field of nuclear fusion.

The three electrostatic accelerators at the TIARA had no mechanical damage when the Tohoku earthquake happened on March 11, 2011. But, they could not be operated during April, due to the influence of planned power outage by TEPCO. These accelerators additionally operated on Saturday for ten days in order to compensate for the lost experiment time. As a result, the yearly operation time had kept the same level as the ordinary one. The ion beam of erbium (Er) with 11.7MeV was accelerated newly by the tandem accelerator, whose intensity was 20nA at charge state of 3+. The sequential generation/irradiation of two different kinds of fullerene ions was achieved at the ion implanter by a mixed powder method without exchange of the Freeman type ion source by the user's request.

The three electrostatic accelerators at TIARA had no damage when the Tohoku earthquake happened on March 11, 2011. But, they could not be operated until end of April, due to the influence of planned power outage and keep out into the controlled area for radiation. These accelerators additionally operated on Saturday for twelve days in order to compensate for the lost experiment time. Therefore, the yearly operation time had kept the same level as the ordinary one. The tandem accelerator has stopped leakage of the SF gas from the base flange on the tank by the Viton gasket of rectangular cross section at the new type.

Three electrostatic accelerators of TIARA were operated smoothly in FY 2010, and all the planned experiments were carried out except those canceled by users or the impact of Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. On the other hand, Saturday operation for experiments was carried out after October on the Global Nuclear-Human Resource Development Initiative. The yearly operation time of the tandem accelerator, the single-ended accelerator and the ion implanter amounted to 2116, 2367 and 1800 hours, respectively, which were similar to those of usual years. Regarding the single-ended accelerator, the generator in the high-voltage terminal failed and was replaced with new one. A switching magnet was installed for a new branch beam line of the ion implanter. As to the tandem accelerator, In ion was generated and accelerated at intensity of 500 nA.

The yearly operation time of three electrostatic accelerators at TIARA of Japan Atomic Energy Agency is keeping the same level since 2000, the tandem accelerator, the ion implanter and the single-ended accelerator amounted to about 2000, 1900 and 2500 hours, respectively. Three electrostatic accelerators did not have damage when the Tohoku Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. However, these accelerators were not able to operate during the planned power outage by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). The tandem accelerator accelerated ion beam of In, which gave intensity of 500nA with stability. Additionally, the ion implanter generated maximum 400nA at ion beam of Gd, which was used in experiments for the users.

Three electrostatic accelerators of TIARA were operated smoothly in FY 2009, and all the planned experiments were carried out except those canceled by users. The yearly operation time of the tandem accelerator, the single-ended accelerator and the ion implanter amounted to 2100, 2416 and 1866 hours, respectively. Regarding the single-ended accelerator, the radio frequency oscillator of the ion source mounted in high-voltage terminal and the sequencer for control of the SB beam line failed, and they were replaced. The oven controller of Freeman ion source of the ion implanter was renewed. As to the tandem accelerator, Mn ion was successfully generated and accelerated with intensity of 150 nA.

Operation times of each accelerator are keeping the same level as in recent 10 years, Tandem accelerator, Single-ended and Ion implanter amounted to about 2,000, 2,500 and 1,900 hours, respectively. In the last fiscal year, we succeeded in maintaining the terminal voltage of the tandem accelerator to high stability for long periods by exchanging the material of a corona-probe needle to the tungsten (NPS Co.). In the ion-implanter, the oven control system equipped with the Freeman ion source was renewed. There was no trouble to affect on the machine-time in the last fiscal year, so the all planned experiments were carried out.

Three electrostatic accelerators of TIARA were operated smoothly in FY 2008, and all the planned experiments were carried out except those canceled by users. The yearly operation time of the tandem accelerator, the single-ended accelerator and the ion implanter amounted to 2009, 2426 and 1882 hours, respectively. Regarding the tandem accelerator, the control system was renewed, and the unstable acceleration voltage caused by mechanical vibration reduced by adjusting the driving mechanism of the pellet chains. The SF gas for the single-ended accelerator was purified, and its storage tank was repainted. As to the ion implanter, Bi ion, which was requested by users, was successfully generated and accelerated with intensity of 0.5A.

Three electrostatic accelerators were operated smoothly in FY 2007, and all the planned experiments were carried out except those canceled by users. The yearly operation time of the tandem accelerator, the single-ended accelerator and the ion implanter amounted to 1949, 2437 and 1900 hours. The high-pressure residual gas of SF is leaking from the SF gas handling system of the tandem accelerator. The most amount of the leak comes out when the accelerator tank pressure is high. Therefore, in order to reduce the leak by lowering the residual gas pressure, a pipe was installed to carry the gas in the high-pressure part of the system for the accelerator to the low-pressure storage tank. As to the ion implanter, Pb ion, which was requested by users, was successfully generated using oven method and accelerated with intensity of 1.5 A.
