Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:83.43(Agriculture, Dairy & Animal Science)We have established an archive system of livestock and wild animals from the surrounding ex-evacuation zone. Wildlife within the alert zone have been exposed to low-dose-rate (LDR) radiation for a long and continuous time. In this study, we analysed the morphological characteristics of the testes and in vitro fertilization (IVF) capacity of cryopreserved sperm of raccoons from the ex-evacuation zone of the FDNPP accident. This study revealed that the chronic and LDR radiation exposure associated with the FDNPP accident had no adverse effect on the reproductive characteristics and functions of male raccoons.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:62.06(Nuclear Science & Technology)A new integral experiment with a deuteron-triton fusion (DT) neutron beam started in order to validate scattering cross section data. First the DT neutron beam was constructed with a collimator. The characteristics of the DT neutron beam were examined experimentally. Second a new integral experiment for type 316 stainless steel (SS316) was carried out with this DT neutron beam. Reaction rates of the Nb(n,2n)Nb reaction on the center of the beam axis and at 15 cm and 30 cm apart from the axis in the assembly were measured with the activation foil method and were calculated with the Monte Carlo transport calculation code MCNP and nuclear data libraries, JENDL-4.0, JENDL-3.3 and ENDF/B-VI.8. The ratios of calculation to experiment became smaller than 1 with the distance from the beam axis for all the nuclear libraries. It was pointed out that the diagonally forward cross section data had some problems.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:10.53(Nuclear Science & Technology)Irradiation experiments of 14 MeV neutrons have been performed on a Li block assembly of 46 51 51 cm with a 5 cm thick V-alloy layer inside to examine the accuracy of neutronics calculations for the Li/V-alloy blanket design. Foils of Nb, Ni, In and Au for reaction rate measurements of Nb(n,2n)Nb, Ni(n,p)Co, In(n,n')In, Au(n,)Au reactions and Li enriched (Li: 95.5%) and Li enriched (Li: 99.9%) LiCO pellets for tritium production rate measurements were installed in the assembly. Results of the measurements were compared with those of calculations with MCNP5, JENDL-3.3 and JENDL/D-99. The comparisons for the reaction rates in the Nb, Ni and In foils indicate that measurements and calculations of the fast neutron transport are consistent almost within 10%. In the comparison for the reaction rates in the Au foils, the underestimation of 15% was found at a surface of the V-alloy layer. There is a possibility that this is due to the elastic scattering cross section of V around 4 keV as previously reported. The comparisons for tritium production rates in the Li enriched and Li enriched LiCO pellets indicate that calculated rates were larger than results of the measurements by 2-8% and 1-4%, respectively.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)So far we carried out many integral benchmark experiments (in-situ experiments and Time-Of-Flight experiments) for nuclear data with DT neutrons at the Fusion Neutronics Source facility in Japan Atomic Energy Agency. In addition to those, we have a plan to perform new integral benchmark experiments for nuclear data with a DT neutron beam, which can investigate nuclear data for almost the whole angle and the whole energy. Because the large-size tritium target in FNS is difficult to procure, we have started to build a new DT neutron beam with the small tritium target, which is easy to obtain, at the first target room of FNS. We already designed a collimator system for the DT neutron beam based on calculations. In this work, under that design, the collimator was constructed. Then the characteristics of the neutron field were measured in order to confirm the DT neutron beam performance. It was demonstrated that the DT neutron beam was realized as calculated.

Times Cited Count:22 Percentile:57.01(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Lanthanide complexes with linear and cyclic octadentate oligopyridine-amine ligands were synthesized, and their molecular structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. All of the complexes had a distorted capped square antiprism (CSAP) geometry, and the coordination environments of lanthanide complexes were more distortedfor the complexes with the linear ligand than those with the cyclic ligand. The Eu complexes with the linear ligand showed more intense emissions, which were attributed to the D F transition, than the complex withthe cyclic ligand in acetonitrile, which can be attributed to the distortion in the coordination environments. These results indicate that the coordination environments of lanthanide complexes, and thus the luminescence properties, can be controlled by tuning the geometrical structures of polydentate ligands.

Strong fluorescence of Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes with the ligand demonstrate that the ligand has a suitable excited state for energy transfer from the ligand to Eu(III) and Tb(III) center.

A tripodal ligand, tris(2-pyridyl)carbinol affords a novel tetradentate coordination mode in homodinuclear lanthanide complexes, which exhibit remarkably short distances between metal ions. Structures of dinuclear complexes synthesized from triflates exhibited the same structure other than the difference in the bond lengths which was induced by lanthanide contraction across the lanthanide series from Pr to Lu. In these complexes, the distance between two lanthanide ions was remarkably short. In this study the same type of dinuclear complexes were synthesized from nitrates. The nitrate ion can coordinate in both monodentate fand bidentate fashions. Since ionic radii are dependent upon the coordination number, nitrate could affect the metal-metal distance. In fact, dinuclear complexes exhibited longer distance between lanthanide ions than the triflates due to the increase of ionic radii of lanthanide ions. Some features of these dinuclear systems, which are induced from the difference of metal-metal distance, will be discussed in the presentation.
