Detailed 
-ray spectroscopy of the exotic neon isotope Ne has been performed using the one-neutron removal reaction from Ne. Based on an analysis of parallel momentum distributions, a level scheme with spin-parity assignments has been constructed for Ne and the negative-parity states are identified for the first time. The measured partial cross sections and momentum distributions reveal a significant intruder p-wave strength providing evidence of the breakdown of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell gaps. Only a weak, possible f-wave strength was observed to bound final states. Large-scale shell-model calculations with different effective interactions do not reproduce the large p-wave and small f-wave strength observed experimentally, indicating an ongoing challenge for a complete theoretical description of the transition into the island of inversion along the Ne isotopic chain.

Times Cited Count：23 Percentile：72.33(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is procuring all amounts of NbSn conductors for Central Solenoid (CS) in the ITER project. Before start of mass-productions, the conductor should be tested to confirm superconducting performance in the SULTAN facility, Switzerland. The original design of cabling twist pitches is 45-85-145-250-450 mm, called normal twist pitch (NTP). The test results of the conductors with NTP was that current shearing temperature (Tcs) is decreasing due to electro-magnetic (EM) load cycles. On the other hand, the results of the conductors with short twist pitches (STP) of 25-45-80-150-450 mm show that the Tcs is stabilized during EM load cyclic tests. Because the conductors with STP have smaller void fraction, higher compaction ratio during cabling is required and possibility of damage on strands increases. The technology for the cables with STP was developed in Japanese cabling suppliers. The several key technologies will be described in this paper.

There are 4-boiler systems in Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories. These has been operated in over 16 years. In one of them, the leakage that occurred at generating tube was found at Dec. 2011. The investigation of the leakage was carried out. The leaked generating tube was removed, and the part of leakage was cut off, and the deposit around the leakage was removed to analyze the cause of leakage. The analysis was carried out by SEM,EDX,WDX and XRD. etc. Elements of the deposit accumulated to surface of water drum are mainly O, Fe and S, and then many of component was sulfide. Therefore it seems that generating tube was corroded by sulfide. In future plan, operating method will be review to reduce the deposit, and check item will be selected to find the deposit earlier. This report was described about variously activity for the investigation and a future action.

Times Cited Count：28 Percentile：99.19Tungsten spectra have been observed from Large Helical Device (LHD) and Compact electron Beam Ion Trap (CoBIT) in wavelength ranges of visible to EUV. The tungsten spectra from LHD are well analyzed based on the knowledge from CoBIT tungsten spectra. The C-R model code has been developed to explain the UTA spectra in details. Radial profiles of EUV spectra from highly ionized tungsten ions have been measured and analyzed by impurity transport simulation code with ADPAK atomic database code to examine the ionization balance determined by ionization and recombination rate coefficients. The ablation cloud of the impurity pellet is directly measured with visible spectroscopy.

JAEA together with the Japan Nuclear Human Resource Development Network (JN-HRD Net), the University of Tokyo (UT) and the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF) cohosted the IAEA-Nuclear Energy Management School in Tokai Village, aiming that Japan will be the center of nuclear HRD in the Asian region. In the school, not only lectures by IAEA experts, but also lectures by Japanese experts and technical visits were included for foreign participants. The school contributed to the internationalization of Japanese young professionals, development of nuclear human resource of other countries, and enhancement of cooperation between IAEA and Japan. Additionally, collaborative relationship within JN-HRD Net was strengthened by the school. In this report, findings obtained during the preparatory work and the school period are reported for future international nuclear HRD activities in Japan.

In this study, we showed an energy demand and supply scenario toward the year 2100 in Japan, which underlies JAEA's "Nuclear Energy Vision 2100" published in October 2008. This energy demand and supply scenario aims at the coexistence of the reduction of the carbon dioxide emission and the energy security through reduction of the fossil fuel usage, positive electrification and the nuclear energy usage. We reduce the ratio of the fossil fuel in the primary energy supply to about 1/3 and extend the share of renewable and nuclear energy to 70% from current 15%. As a result, the carbon dioxide emission is reduced to current 10%, and it developed that the half was the contribution of the nuclear energy.

The frequency of single strand breaks (SSBs) occurring on both strands of the pBR322 plasmid DNA region flanked by a pair of primers used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifications was determined after irradiation with 
Cs -rays. We refined that real time PCR is suitable for the detection and quantitative analysis of SSBs caused by -ray irradiation. The utility of this approach was also supported by the comparison of the practical experimental data with the Monte Carlo simulation. The potential application of this PCR method for the detection of genomic DNA damage was also confirmed.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：22.33(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)A DNA repair-promoting protein, PprA, was isolated from a radiation resistant bacterium, . Despite several studies, however, the function of PprA is not still clear. We used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to elucidate the role of this protein in the DNA repair pathway. In the present study, interaction between the linear DNA and PprA protein was imaged and analyzed by AFM without any fixation or staining. Though both end-bound and internally bound PprA was observed, the affinity of the end-bound protein was greater considering the proportion of features of binding analyzed by AFM. In some conditions, looping forms of the DNA-PprA complex were observed. Gel filtration high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was also conducted to estimate the molecular weight of this protein. The result of the HPLC analysis suggested that PprA formed multimers in buffer solution without DNA.
