Times Cited Count：157 Percentile：97.26(Physics, Multidisciplinary)An isotope of the 113th element, 113, was produced in a nuclear reaction with a 
Zn beam on a 
Bi target. We observed six consecutive 
decays following the implantation of a heavy particle in nearly the same position in the semiconductor detector, in extremely low background condition. The fifth and sixth decays are fully consistent with the sequential decays of 
Db and 
Lr both in decay energies and decay times. This indicates that the present decay chain consisted of 113, 
Rg (Z = 111), 
Mt (Z = 109), 
Bh (Z = 107), Db (Z = 105), and Lr (Z = 103) with firm connections. This result, together with previously reported results from 2004 and 2007, conclusively leads the unambiguous production and identification of the isotope 113, of the 113th element.

Currently, many laboratories who measure Pu and U concentration by isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) use Large Size Dried (LSD) spikes, which contain both Pu and U in individual vials. Plutonium Fuel Development Center (PFDC) prepared LSD spikes for MOX samples and has been used while LSD spikes prepared at inspection laboratories and commercially supplied are mainly aimed to measure input solution for reprocessing. Difficulties of importing reference materials are increasing though the needs of Pu reference materials are increasing. Stable securing Pu reference material is essential for facility operation and it is considered to be important to acquire technique to prepare domestic Pu reference material. Pu were prepared from MOX powder at PFDC and used for LSD spike preparation. Practical tests were performed with JNFL. Experience of preparation and utilization of LSD spike for MOX, consideration of certification method for MOX-Pu will be explained also in this paper.

Recent performance analysis has improved confidence in achieving Q 
10 in inductive operation in ITER. Performance analysis based on empirical scaling shows the feasibility of achieving Q 10 in inductive operation with a sufficient margin. Theory-based core modeling indicates the need of high pedestal temperature (2-4 keV) to achieve Q 10, which is in the range of projection with pedestal scaling. The heat load of type-I ELM could be made tolerable by high density operation and further tilting the target plate (if necessary). Pellet injection from High-Field Side would be useful in enhancing Q and reducing ELM heat load. Steady state operation scenarios have been developed with modest requirement on confinement improvement and beta (HH98(y,2) 1.3 and betaN 2.6). Stabilisation of RWM, required in such regimes, is feasible with the present saddle coils and power supplies with double-wall structure taken into account.

Times Cited Count：39 Percentile：76.5(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Performance analysis based on empirical scaling shows the feasibility of achieving Q 
10 in inductive operation. Analysis has also elucidated a possibility that ITER can potentially demonstrate Q 
50, enabling studies of self-heated plasmas. Theory-based core modeling indicates the need of high pedestal temperature (3.2 - 5.3 keV) to achieve Q 10, which is in the range of projection with presently available pedestal scalings. Pellet injection from high-field side would be useful in enhancing Q and reducing ELM heat load in high plasma current operation. If the ELM heat load is not acceptable, it could be made tolerable by further tilting the target plate. Steady state operation scenarios at Q = 5 have been developed with modest requirement on confinement improvement and beta (HH98(y,2) 1.3 and betaN 2.6). Stabilisation of RWM, required in such regimes, is feasible with the present saddle coils and power supplies with double-wall structure taken into account.

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：27.33(Nuclear Science & Technology)Recently, technical objectives of ITER were redefined aiming at the cost reduction of about 50% from the 1998 ITER design. Machine parameters which would satisfy the revised technical requirements under the engineering constraints were specified using a system code. The performance of these machines were studied and compared. As a result of these studies, final machine parameters were determined with revised conservative physics assumptions. This machine is referred as ITER-FEAT. It was shown that ITER-FEAT would achieve Q=10 in inductive operation with reasonable and conservative assumptions. Also, with an efficient current drive system and modest confinement improvement, possibility of Q=5 non-inductive operations in a steady state was shown.

Standard material which called Large Size Dried (LSD) spikes is required for Plutonium and Uranium measurement by Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS). Collaboration work between JAEA and JNFL is performed to validate efficient use of standard material (primary) and to evaluate the effectivity of the Pu which separated and purified from MOX stored at JAEA. According to the presentation "Preparation and evaluation of reference materials (LSD spikes) (1) Preparation and testing", uncertainty of the actual sample measurements at Rokkasho Reprocessing plant are evaluated with GUM. Also, the effectivity of the half sized LSD spikes from generally used at JAEA and LSD spikes which prepared from Pu purified from MOX at JAEA are statistically evaluated and validated.

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry method used for the accountancy analysis at nuclear fuel facilities requires the standard materials called LSD(Large Size Dried) spike. Generally, LSD spikes are prepared from certified reference materials which supplied from foreign countries. However, the difficulty of Pu reference material importation is increasing. It is important for safeguard to attain and continue highly reliable accountancy analysis and stable securing of LSD spike is essential. Therefore, under collaboration work between JAEA and JNFL, several types of LSD spike were prepared. Measurement experiments with actual samples were performed and those results were compared with the results obtained using LSD spike which supplied from foreign laboratory. This report presents preparation of LSD spikes, determination of value of plutonium which separated and purified from MOX and used as raw material, practical test and evaluation method of uncertainty based on ISO-GUM.

Destructive analysis for accountancy at nuclear fuel facilities should attain international target values for measurement uncertainties in safeguarding nuclear materials (ITVs).Since measurement uncertainties of isotope dilution mass spectrometry depend on uncertainties of standard materials (spikes) used, utilizing highly reliable standard material is essential. The LSD spikes prepared under collaboration work with JAEA and JNFL has different Pu/U ratio and smaller nuclear material in a spike compared with the LSD spikes used at safeguard laboratories, and the value of Pu which separated and purified from MOX and used as raw material for one of the LSD spike prepared at JAEA were measured at JAEA. Uncertainties of the prepared LSD spikes and the measurement results of actual samples with these LSD spikes were evaluated based on ISO-GUM and compared with ITVs.
