A multi-domain protein can have various conformations in solution. Interactions with other molecules result in the stabilization of one of the conformations and change in the domain dynamics. SAXS, a well-established experimental technique, can be employed to elucidate the conformation of a multi-domain protein in solution. NSE spectroscopy is a promising technique for recording the domain dynamics in nanosecond and nanometer scale. Despite the great efforts, there are still under development. Thus, we quantitatively removed the contribution of diffusion dynamics and hydrodynamic interactions from the NSE data via incoherent scattering, revealing the differences in the domain dynamics of the three functional states of a multi-domain protein, MurD. The differences among the three states can be explained by two domain modes.

The number of research reactors in the world is decreasing because of their aging. However, the planning to introduce the nuclear power plants is increasing in Asian countries. In these Asian countries, the key issue is the human resource development for operation and management of nuclear power plants after constructed them, and also the necessity of research reactor, which is used for lifetime extension of LWRs, progress of the science and technology, expansion of industry use, human resources training and so on, is increasing. From above backgrounds, the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center began to discuss basic concept of a multipurpose low-power research reactor for education and training, etc. This design study is expected to contribute not only to design tool improvement and human resources development in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center but also to maintain and upgrade the technology on research reactors in nuclear power-related companies. This report treats the activities of the working group from July 2010 to June 2011 on the multipurpose low-power research reactor in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center and nuclear power-related companies.

The JMTR has been refurbished to restart operation in FY2011. The restarted JMTR plays roles of (1) measures for long-term operation of light water reactors, (2) improvement in scientific technique, (3) increase of industrial use, (4) training of human resources, etc. It is needed to operate the restarted JMTR safety and stably and maintain high available factor (50$$sim$$70%) because of increasing of irradiation utilization demand. In this report, measures for training of reactor operators, organization for operating, etc were proposed to operate reactor safety and smoothly. And also reactor operation procedure was examined to improve available factor up to world level for materials testing reactor. As a result, it was turned out to be possible to realize stably 210 days operation per year (available factor: 60%).

Various projects for improvement of JMTR are being carried out with the aim to re-start in FY2011. In the projects, it is planned to improve the JMTR core management system to execute neutronic calculations. The JMTR core management system is based on SRAC code system on mainframe, it is expected to improve the JMTR core management system by means of conversion from SRAC code system to the newest SRAC2006 code system on UNIX. Therefore neutronic calculations for JMTR using SRAC2006 code system were executed in order to estimate applicability and effectiveness of SARC2006 code system to the JMTR core management system.

Temperature-dependent nano-scale dynamics of PVA physical gel

Takahashi, Nobuaki; Nishida, Koji*; Inoue, Rintaro*; Ogawa, Hiroki*; Kanaya, Toshiji*; Nagao, Michihiro*

NSL News Letter, 2007-4, p.155 - 157, 2007/04

We have studied dynamics of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gel in a mixture of deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d$$_{6}$$) and D$$_{2}$$O (60/40 by volume) during heating process from 25$$^{circ}$$C to 80$$^{circ}$$C using neutron spin-echo (NSE) techniques.

We report neutron spin-echo measurements on three types of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gels. The first is PVA gel in a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water with volume ratio 60/40, the second is PVA gel in an aqueous borax solution and the third is chemically cross-linked PVA gel. The observed normalized intermediate scattering functions I(Q,t)/I(Q,0) were very different among them. The I(Q,t)/I(Q,0) of the first and third gels showed a non-decaying component in addition to a decaying component, but the second one did not have the non-decaying one. This clearly indicates that the fluctuations in the first and third PVA gels consist of static and dynamic fluctuations whereas the second PVA gel does include only the dynamic fluctuations. The dynamic and static fluctuations of the PVA gels were analyzed in terms of a restricted motion in the gel network and the Zimm motion, respectively.

After the investigation of the new core arrangement for the JMTR reactor in order to enhance the fuel burn-up and consequently extend the operation period, the "improved LEU core" that utilized 2 additional fuel elements instead of formerly installed reflector elements, was adopted. This report describes the results of the thermal-hydraulic analysis of the improved LEU core as a part of safety analysis for the licensing. The analysis covers steady state, abnormal operational transients and accidents, which were described in the annexes of the licensing documents as design bases events. Calculation conditions for the computer codes were conservatively determined based on the neutronic analysis results and others. The results of the analysis, that revealed the safety criteria were satisfied on the fuel temperature, DNBR and primary coolant temperature, were used in the licensing. The operation license of the JMTR with the improved LEU core was granted in March 2001, and the reactor operation with new core started in November 2001 as 142nd operation cycle.
