In response to the new regulatory standards established in response to the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in March 2011, measures and impact assessments related to internal flooding at HTTR were carried out. In assessing the impact, considering the characteristics of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, flooding due to assumed damage to piping and equipment, flooding due to water discharge from the system installed to prevent the spread of fire, and flooding due to damage to piping and equipment due to an earthquake. The effects of submersion, flooding, and flooding due to steam were evaluated for each of them. The impact of the overflow of liquids containing radioactive materials outside the radiation-controlled area was also evaluated. As a result, it was confirmed that flooding generated at HTTR does not affect the safety function of the reactor facility by taking measures.

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) reveal the damaged structures in MgAl$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ spinel induced by swift heavy ions. SAXS indicates the formation of ion tracks with cylindrical shape with a diameter of 5 nm. XANES indicates the cationic disordering between tetrahedral and octahedral sites by the irradiation. Quantitative analysis of XANES also reveals that cations preferably occupy the octahedral sites at high fluence.

Cationic disorder in the MgAl$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ spinel induced by swift heavy ions was investigated using the X-ray absorption near edge structure. With changes in the irradiation fluences of 200 MeV Xe ions, the Mg K-edge and Al K-edge spectra were synchronously changed. The calculated spectra based on density function theory indicate that the change in the experimental spectra was due to cationic disorder between Mg in tetrahedral sites and Al in octahedral sites. These results suggest a high inversion degree to an extent that the completely random configuration is achieved in MgAl$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ induced by the high density electronic excitation under swift heavy ion irradiation.

The atomic-scale graded structure of In-Pb alloy was formed by an ultracentrifuge experiment under conditions that a gravitational field of 0.81$$times$$10$$^{6}$$ G for 100 hours at 150 $$^{circ}$$C in solid state in our previous study. The isotope ratio measurements were performed on the centrifuged sample with secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS). $$^{206}$$Pb/$$^{208}$$Pb and $$^{207}$$Pb/$$^{208}$$Pb isotope ratio changed with negative gradient in the direction of centrifugal force approximately 1.5% and 0.8%, respectively. And three-isotope diagram of $$^{206}$$Pb/$$^{208}$$Pb versus $$^{207}$$Pb/$$^{208}$$Pb proved that the isotope fluctuation depends on isotopic mass difference. These results showed that the strong gravitational field not only affected on the inter-diffusion but also on self-diffusion in this alloy as causing isotope fractionation effect, and the isotope fractionation was dependent on mass-difference.

The atomic-scale graded structure of In-Pb alloy was formed by an ultracentrifuge experiment under conditions that a gravitational field of 810,000 G for 100 hours at 150$$^{circ}$$C (solid state) in our previous study. The isotope fluctuation on this sample was measured using secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS). The ratio both $$^{208}$$Pb/$$^{206}$$Pb and $$^{115}$$In/$$^{113}$$In changed with positive gradient in the direction of centrifugal force approximately 1.2%. These isotope fluctuations were larger than that of starting state of natural state (In$$<$$0.2%, Pb$$<$$0.1%). These show that the sedimentation of isotopes occurred by solid centrifugation in this alloy, although achieved concentration gradients were small.

It was observed that the concentration ratio $$^{82}$$Se/$$^{76}$$Se increased by % level in the specimen ultracentrifuged at 0.7$$sim$$0.9 million G and at 300$$^{circ}$$C(liquid state) or 190$$^{circ}$$C (solid state), respectively. The present result is evidence of sedimentation of substitutional atoms in condensed matter via self-diffusion, and suggests its possible application to isotope separation by condensed matter centrifugation.

A strong gravitational field resulted in the gravity-induced diffusion (sedimentation) of isotope atoms in monoatomic solid Se. The layer crystalline morphology consisting of three zones of the fine-grained crystals, the long crystals and feather-shaped crystals grown parallel to gravity direction appeared in the specimen ultracentrifuged at 0.8-1 million G and at 190 $$^{circ}$$C. Change in concentration ratio $$^{82}$$Se/$$^{76}$$Se of $$>$$ 0.8% was observed in the grown crystalline region. These results show an evidence for sedimentation of substitutional atoms in solid via self-diffusion, and suggest possibility of application to control of impurity and crystalline state as well as to isotope separation.

A strong gravitational field resulted in the sedimentation of isotope atoms in monatomic liquid. The concentration ratio $$^{82}$$Se/$$^{76}$$Se increased by greater than 3.5% in specimen ultracentrifuged at 0.7$$sim$$0.9 million G and at 300$$^{circ}$$C. The recovered sample had a feather-shaped crystalline morphology. The concentration gradient was nearly twice that of the steady state analytical result (ideal gas system), indicating a non-ideal system diffusion. The present result is evidence of sedimentation of substitutional atoms in condensed matter via self-diffusion, and suggestes its possible application to isotope separation, crystalline control and matter dynamics in massive star.

 Times Cited Count:22 Percentile:67.36(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)

A review is given on the studies of magnetic properties and dielectric properties as functions of temperature and magnetic field for various multiferroic $$R$$Mn$$_2$$O$$_5$$ ($$R$$ = rare-earth) compounds. We have observed successive dielectric and magnetic phase transitions which concomitantly take place and a so-called multiferroics is realized. In this system, the ferroelectricity is magnetically induced and the commensurate magnetism is indispensable to produce a spontaneous electric polarization. The microscopic origin of the magnetically induced ferroelectricity and the role of the rare-earth magnetic moment for a colossal magnetoelectric effect in $$R$$Mn$$_2$$O$$_5$$ will be discussed in the viewpoint of the magnetic structure.

${it In situ}$ magnetic measurements under neutron radiation in Fe metal and low carbon steel

Magnetic minor hysteresis loops of low carbon steel and Fe metal have been measured during neutron radiation at 563 K in a nuclear reactor. For investigation of nucleation mechanism of copper precipitates and dislocation loops, special attention was paid to minor-loop coefficients, which are deduced from simple relations between minor-loop parameters and are very sensitive to lattice defects. We found that with increasing neutron fluence, the minor-loop coefficients of low carbon steel sharply increase and show a maximum at the fluence of 1$$times$$10$$^{19}$$ cm$$^{-2}$$, followed by a slow decrease. The appearance of the maximum suggests the presence of two mechanisms of internal stress; while copper precipitates and dislocation loops in the matrix make the internal stress increase, those grown in the vicinity of dislocations compensate the internal stress of dislocations. On the other hand, the minor-loop coefficients show a monotonic increase with neutron fluence in Fe metal.

During normal operation of High Temperature engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) in Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), the reactivity is controlled by the Control Rods (CRs) system which consists of 32 CRs (16 pairs) and 16 Control Rod Drive Mechanisms (CRDMs). The CR system is located in stand-pipes accompanied by the Reserved Shutdown System (RSS). In the unlikely event that the CRs fail to be inserted, the RSS is provided to insert B$$_{4}$$C/C pellets into the core. The RSS shall be designed so that the reactor should be held subcriticality from any operation condition by dropping in the pellets. The RSS consists of B$$_{4}$$C/C pellets, hoppers which contain the pellets, electric plug, driving mechanisms, guide tubes and so on. In accidents when the CRs cannot be inserted, an electric plug is pulled out by a motor and the absorber pellets fall into the core by gravity. A trouble, malfunction of one RSS out of sixteen, occurred during a series of the pre-start up checks of HTTR on February 21, 2005. We investigated the cause of the RSS trouble and took countermeasures to prevent the issue. As the result of investigation, the cause of the trouble was attributed to the following reason: In the motor inside, The Oil of grease of the multiplying gear flowed down from a gap of the oil seal which has been deformed and was mixed with abrasion powder of brake disk. Therefore the adhesive mixture prevented a motor from rotating.

Exhaust gas from JT-60U during experimental operation has been measured with Gas Chromatography (GC), and the gas exhaust characteristic from JT-60U on plasma discharge conditions has been investigated during the JT-60U experimental campaign in 2003-2004. During experimental operation of JT-60U, hydrogen isotope concentration strongly depended on the type of discharges such as high performance, long pulse and so on. On the other hand, impurity species, such as helium, hydrocarbon and carbon oxide, were detected during plasma discharges occasionally. During the experimental operation, plasma disruption remarkably tended to produce high concentration impurities. Glow discharge and Taylor discharge for wall conditioning also produced impurities. In the case of normal plasma, impurity was detected and high performance plasma, such as high $$beta$$ plasma, tended to produce high concentration impurities. This result indicated that impurities concentration might be higher in the case of normal plasma in ITER, because of its high performance.
