Atomic ionic states and transition properties of elements with atomic numbers Z ranging from 50 to 80 are discussed as these are important to the understanding of plasmas containing such heavy elements. As such, data productions and the current status of theoretical calculations in this field are discussed. Further, recent spectroscopic measurements and respective theoretical analyses for W, Gd, and Nd are provided.

The performance of net-current free Heliotron plasmas has been developed by findings of innovative operational scenarios in conjunction with an upgrade of the heating power and the pumping/fueling capability in the Large Helical Device (LHD). Consequently, the operational regime has been extended, in particular, with regard to high density, long pulse length and high beta. Diversified studies in LHD have elucidated the advantages of net-current free heliotron plasmas. In particular, an Internal Diffusion Barrier (IDB) by combination of efficient pumping of the local island divertor function and core fueling by pellet injection has realized a super dense core as high as 510m, which stimulates an attractive super dense core reactor. Achievements of a volume averaged beta of 4.5 % and a discharge duration of 54-min. with a total input energy of 1.6 GJ (490 kW in average) are also highlighted. The progress of LHD experiments in these two years is overviewed with highlighting IDB, high and long pulse.

We analyzed impurity VUV spectral emission quantitatively. Electron temperature is derived from the intensity ratio of CIII line intensities. Radiation loss sources are identified using spectroscopy and bolometer in the case of radiation collapse caused by neon gas puffing. Time dependent radiation loss of impurity ions are derived from line intensities of impurities.

A very fine silicon carbide (SiC) fiber with diameter of 6 m, about a half of that of a commercially available SiC fiber, was synthesized from a polymer blend of polycarbosilane (PCS) and polyvinylsilane (PVS). The fine SiC fiber was obtained by optimizing the composition and the spinning temperature of PCS-PVS polymer blends. In order to determine these optimum conditions, the relationship between temperature and melt viscosities of the polymer blends was investigated. As a result, it was found that the optimum spinning temperature range was within a temperature range where the melt viscosity is 5-10Pas. Moreover, by blending PVS with PCS, the spinning temperature of the polymer blends was lowered, the spinnability of polymer system was improved, and finer polymer fiber was obtained compared with PCS. The optimum content of PVS in the polymer blend was 15-20wt%.

The non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (nLTE) atomic kinetics in high-Z plasmas is investigated for Ag, Sn through W, which are used for X-ray lasers, EUV sources and fusion devices. We develop the atomic model based on nl configuration averaged levels structure, with atomic energy levels, radiative rates and autoionization rates calculated using the HULLAC code. The dielectronic recombination processes are included into the model by including autoionizing levels explicitly. We investigate the mean charge and radiative power loss with respect to the size of the model; by defining the groups of the levels, which consist of core a configuration and one excited electron, and by performing calculations increasing the number of groups. It is found that as a general trend, the mean charge decreases and the radiative power loss increases, until convergence is obtained when sufficiently large number of dielectronic recombination channels is included. The model is validated at code comparison workshops and also comparison with spectroscopic measurements, which are carried out using magnetic fusion devices.
