Improvement of plant reliability based on reliability-centered-maintenance (RCM) is going to be undertaken in NPPs. RCM is supported by risk-based maintenance (RBM). The combination of prediction and inspection is one of the key issues to promote RBM. Early prediction of IGSCC occurrence and its propagation should be confirmed throughout the entire plant systems which should be accomplished by inspections at the target locations followed by timely application of suitable countermeasures. From the inspections, accumulated data will be applied to confirm the accuracy of the code, to tune some uncertainties of the key data for prediction, and then, to increase their accuracy. The synergetic effects of prediction and inspection on application of effective and suitable countermeasures are expected. In the paper, the procedures for the combination of prediction and inspection are introduced.

Dosimetry for 110 keV electron beam processing

Seito, Hajime; Matsui, Shinjiro*; Hakoda, Teruyuki; Ishikawa, Masayoshi*; Haruyama, Yasuyuki; Kaneko, Hirohisa; Kimura, Jun*; Kojima, Takuji

Zairyo Gijutsu, 30(1), p.10 - 16, 2012/01

The dosimetry of a 110 keV electron beam (EB) irradiation field is studied using a calorimeter, film dosimeter, and Monte Carlo simulation. This is important base for dose control in practical processing to guarantee the process reproducibility and product reliability. The simulation results are validated on the measurement of the energy fluence obtained by the calorimeter at one position in the air plane at different distances from a beam exit window. The spatial dose distribution obtained from the simulation is compared to that obtained by the film dosimeter. They show good agreement within $$pm$$5.0%. The precision of $$pm$$5.0% is sufficient to control the surface modification of polymers and the development of semiconductor devices in practical radiation processing. These results suggest that film dosimetry results at just one position in the air plane are sufficient to determine the irradiation characteristics of the low energy EB, and to provide a base of quality control measures in practical radiation processing.

Progress of the IFMIF/EVEDA prototype accelerator in the Broader Approach activities for fusion energy in FY2008

Shinto, Katsuhiro; Vermare, C.*; Asahara, Hiroo; Sugimoto, Masayoshi; Garin, P.*; Maebara, Sunao; Takahashi, Hiroki; Sakaki, Hironao; Kojima, Toshiyuki; Ohira, Shigeru; et al.

Proceedings of 6th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (CD-ROM), p.668 - 670, 2010/03

Progress of the IFMIF/EVEDA prototype accelerator in fiscal year of 2008 is described. All the sub-systems of the prototype accelerator have started to design, settled the plan of the manufacturing and component tests and fixed the design parameters. As a result of the analysis of planning for the engineering validation of the IFMIF accelerator system, the project duration to be prolonged to the end of 2014 including some months for contingency was approved by the BA Steering Committee. In this article, the design status of each accelerator component, the interface between the accelerator components and the IFMIF/EVEDA Accelerator Building settled in International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) in Rokkasho and the proposed accelerator commissioning plan for the engineering validation will be presented.

Seismic imaging for 3-D VSP data using image point transform

Lee, C.*; Matsuoka, Toshiyuki; Ishigaki, Koichi; Tanoue, Masayoshi*; Narita, Norifumi*; Kojima, Masakazu*; Tsuchiya, Terumitsu*; Matsuoka, Toshifumi*

Proceedings of 10th International Symposium on Recent Advances in Exploration Geophysics (RAEG 2006), p.143 - 146, 2006/00

It is known that 3-D Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP) method has an advantage on imaging the fault and fracture zone near the borehole, especially steeply dipped structure. Cosma et al (2003) has developed the new technique named Image Point Transform (IP Transform) and applied to offset VSP data to improve the week reflection signals from the steeply dipped fracture. We test the applicability of this method to the 3-D Reverse VSP data of numerical simulation and develop the method of imaging named spectral operator of middle point of IP. In the results of applying to 3-D model of steeply dipped fracture, we know that this method is applicable to 3-D reverse VSP data and could get the good image of fracture reconstructed by spectral operator of middle point of IP.

The Accelerator Prototype Building for the IFMIF/EVEDA Project, in which enforce the engineering validation of the Accelerator, will be constructed in the BA site at Rokkasho-mura, Aomori-ken. Before detail design started, Japan and EU implementing agencies concluded the Procurement Arrangement based on agreed basic design. The building length is about 58 m east-west and about 37 m north-south. The area is about 2,020 m$$^{2}$$. The Accelerator Vault is center of north and south. RF and electric system are in north of the Vault, and HVAC and cooling water system are in south of the Vault. The control room is put in northwest of the building. Shielding design is based on the evaluation estimated by experts of Japan and EU. The Accelerator will accelerate deuteron to approximately 125 mA and 10 MeV, so the Accelerator Vault is covered with 1.5 m thickness normal concrete shield to protect radiation. To protect neutron streaming, the RF wave guides are through the underground pit into the Vault.

IFMIF/EVEDA Prototype Accelerator Building is a facility for validation of prototype accelerator which will be made for the Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activity (EVEDA) of the International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility (IFMIF). This building is constructed the International Fusion Energy Research Center in Rokkasho village, Aomori prefecture, as a part of the Broader Approach activity which is an international cooperation between Japan and EU. The detail design was completed in 2007, and its construction work was started in March, 2008. The building is an one story, steel construction. The width of east-west is 58 m, north-south is 37 m, maximum height is 10.95 m, and floor area is 2019.5 m$$^{2}$$. The Accelerator Vault which made of concrete is in center of the building. The southern side is HVAC and cooling machines room, and the other side is Radio Frequebcy power supply area. Its underground was constructed in 2008, and the Accelerator Vault was constructed in May, 2009. Now, roofing work is doing. The building will be completed in May, 2010.
