核燃料サイクル工学研究所B棟における試験、分析の実施により発生し、長期間グローブボックス内に保管していた核燃料物質について、当該施設の廃止措置の決定に伴い、高レベル放射性物質研究施設(CPF)の貯蔵庫においてポリ塩化ビニル製の袋(PVCバッグ)で密封して保管していた。CPF安全作業基準に基づく貯蔵物の定期点検においてPVCバッグが徐々に膨らむ状況が確認されたことから、当該試料中から放射線分解によると思われる何らかのガスが発生していると考えられた。ガスが滞留した状態で放置すると、PVCバッグの破裂・破損に繋がるため、ガスが発生しない状態に安定化する必要があると考えた。安定化処理までの処理フローを確立するため、当該核燃料物質の性状を調査した。また、その結果から模擬物質を選定してモックアップ試験を実施した。性状調査においては放射能分析や成分分析、熱分析を実施した。放射性物質濃度及び組成を明らかにするため、$$gamma$$線スペクトロメトリーによる定性分析及び試料溶解による成分分析を実施した。次に、加熱処理による発熱反応を確認するため、酸素をコントロールした条件下で熱分析を実施した。熱分析の結果から有機物含有核燃料物質の組成を推定し、700$$^{circ}$$Cの熱処理により安定化が可能と判断できたことから、全量を熱処理し安定化処理作業を完了した。核燃料物質の熱処理においては、まずは少量の試料により安全性を確認した後、処理規模をスケールアップした。熱分解処理後の重量減少量の測定により、核燃料物質に混合する有機物が完全に分解できたことを確認した。安定化処理後の核燃料物質はSUS製貯蔵容器に収納してバッグアウトし、CPFの貯蔵庫に貯蔵することで一連の安定化処理作業を完了した。今後の廃止措置においても、性状不明な核燃料物質の安定化処理が必要なケースが想定されることから、安定化処理において得られた知見について報告書にまとめる。

Cr-filtered keV-neutron experiments were performed in the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) beamline in the Materials and Life Science (MLF) facility of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) to measure the neutron capture cross-section of $$^{197}$$Au. The energy range of the neutron filtering system at ANNRI was extended through the use of 15 cm of $$^{nat}$$Cr as filter material to tailor quasi-monochromatic neutron peaks with averaged neutron energies of 133.4 and 45.0 keV. The performance of the $$^{nat}$$Cr filter assembly was evaluated by means of experimental capture and transmission analyses, together with the use of Monte-Carlo simulations. The present $$^{197}$$Au neutron capture cross-section results provide agreement within uncertainties with the JENDL-4.0 standard evaluated library and the IAEA standard data library further demonstrating the capabilities of the neutron filtering system at ANNRI.

Neutron capture cross-section measurements for $$^{237}$$Np have been conducted with the Accurate Neutron Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) at the Materials and Life Science Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) using neutrons with energy ranging from thermal energy to 1 MeV. A Time of Flight (TOF) method using a NaI(Tl) detector was employed for these measurements and the data were analyzed based on the pulse-height weighting technique in order to derive the neutron capture cross-section. The absolute capture cross-section was determined using the whole shape of the first resonance from JENDL-4.0 together with the total neutron flux derived from a $$^{197}$$Au sample measurement in which the first resonance was completely saturated. Both normalization techniques present agreement within 2%. The present results are also compared evaluated data libraries. There is a discrepancy of 10-25% discrepancy from 0.5 to 20 keV with JENDL-4.0. Nonetheless, above this energy, the JENDL-4.0 seems to reproduce the present data better as the results agree within uncertainties up to 500 keV. The cross-section results contain errors below 4% from 0.5 to 30 keV. However, the total uncertainty increases to over 8% over that energy. Along with the cross section measurement, theoretical calculations were performed to reproduce the present results.

The neutron capture cross-section of $$^{241}$$Am was measured in the keV neutron range using the recently implemented neutron filtering system of the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) beamline in the Materials and Life Science (MLF) facility of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). Filter arrays consisting of 20 cm of $$^{nat}$$Fe and $$^{nat}$$Si were employed in separate measurements to provide filtered neutron beams with averaged neutron energies of 23.5 (Fe), 51.5 and 127.7 (Si) keV. The present $$^{241}$$Am results were obtained relative to the $$^{197}$$Au neutron capture yield by applying the total energy detection principle together with the pulse-height weighting technique. The $$^{241}$$Am neutron capture cross section was determined as 2.72 $$pm$$ 0.29 b at 23.5 keV, 2.14 $$pm$$ 0.26 b at 51.5 keV and 1.32 $$pm$$ 0.10 b at 127.7 keV with total uncertainties in the range of 8 to 12$$%$$, much lower in comparison to the latest time-of-flight experimental data available.

The neutron capture cross section of $$^{243}$$Am was measured with a pulsed neutron beam from a spallation neutron source of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. A Fe neutron beam filter was used to make the incident neutron beam mono-energetic around 23.5 keV. The neutron capture $$gamma$$-rays were detected with a NaI(Tl) detector. The pulse height weighting technique was employed to derive the neutron capture cross section from the pulse height spectrum. The cross section was determined relative to the capture cross section of $$^{197}$$Au of JENDL-4.0. The neutron capture cross section of $$^{243}$$Am was determined with a smaller uncertainty than previous measurements. The previous measurements and the JENDL-4.0 cross sections were found to be lower than the present result.

A neutron filtering system has been introduced in the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) beamline in the Material and Life Science (MLF) building of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (JPARC) in order to produce quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams. The filtered neutron spectrum by the filter assemblies was analyzed by means of capture and transmission measurements and also by Monte Carlo simulations using PHITS. The characteristics of the filtered neutron beam are discussed alongside its viability in future applications for neutron cross-section measurements in the fast neutron region.

新規制基準では、深層防護を基本とし、共通要因による安全機能の一斉喪失を防止する観点から、自然現象の想定の程度と対策を大幅に引き上げ、機能維持と安全裕度の確保のための対策の多重化と分散化及び多様性と独立性が強化されている。このような中、設計基準を超える地震を含む外部ハザードに対して、設計基準事故及びシビアアクシデントの対策のための設備の機能喪失と同時に、重大事故等に対処する機能を喪失しないことを目的として、特定重大事故等対処施設の設置が定められた。当該施設の設備では、設計基準を一定程度超える地震に対して機能確保できる頑健性を有する設備が求められている。一方、安全性向上評価においては、確率論的リスク評価や安全裕度評価により設計上の想定を超える範囲も含めた評価が行われるため、耐震重要設備の耐力に係る知見を拡充させることが重要である。本報では、耐震重要設備の機能維持に対する考え方や地震を対象に考慮すべき損傷指標等に係る知見の調査と検討結果をまとめる。

ヨウ化銅は高温固相で、ヨウ素イオンが作る面心立方格子の隙間を銅イオンが動く超イオン伝導体になることで知られている。溶融相でも、集団的あるいは協調的なイオンの運動を示す特徴がある。MDシミュレーションにおいて、銅イオンの拡散がヨウ素イオンより非常に速いこと分かっている。Cu-Cu部分構造因子にはFSDPと呼ばれる構造を持ち、銅の分布に中距離秩序があることを示している。さらに、Cu-Cu部分二体分布関数は、Cu-Iで形成される最近接分布に深く入り込んでいる。そうした溶融CuIの異常的振る舞いの原因を解明するために、J-PARCの物質・生命科学実験施設に設置されたディスクチョッパー分光器AMATERASを用いて、中性子準弾性散乱(QENS)実験を行った。構造可干渉性のQENSから得られた動的構造因子を理解するため、モード分布解析を行った。その結果、ヨウ素イオンの運動が局所的に閉じ込められた空間で揺らぐような運動であること、一方銅イオンはヨウ素イオンより速く拡散する運動をしていることが分かった。

Hydrogen (H) species adsorbed on catalyst surfaces are key intermediates in catalytic hydrogenation reactions over supported metal catalysts. However, individual identification of H species on the metal catalysts has not been established to date. Here, we elucidated the H species on Pt/Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ by the combination of ${it in situ}$ inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and density functional theory (DFT). Several H species in the presence of H$$_{2}$$ were successfully identified at different sites on the Pt surface and Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ support. The ${it in situ}$ INS and FT-IR measurements revealed that the hydride/atop Pt-H, bridged perimeter/terrace Pt-H-Pt, and threefold Pt$$_{3}$$-H are active intermediates in the C$$_{2}$$H$$_{4}$$ hydrogenation reaction, whereas the edge Pt-H-Pt is a rather inert species. In addition, the ${it in situ}$ measurements indicate that the Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ itself acts as hydrogen storage material by mediating AlO-H and Al-H-Al species, which serve H species in the C$$_{2}$$H$$_{4}$$ hydrogenation reaction.

A new neutron resonance of $$^{89}$$Y was found in time-of-flight (TOF) neutron capture experiments using a pulsed neutron beam from a spallation neutron source of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The observed resonance energy was 19.7 eV that is much lower than the lowest energy (2.60 keV) of the previous reported resonances. In addition to the TOF measurement, nuclide identification of the resonance was made by prompt $$gamma$$-ray analysis. Neutron capture $$gamma$$-rays from $$^{89}$$Y were clearly observed only on the resonance. Resonance analysis was applied to the experimental results and the resonance parameters of the new resonance are given.

A research project entitled "Study on accuracy improvement of fast-neutron capture reaction data of long-lived MAs for development of nuclear transmutation systems" has been ongoing since 2017. The project aims at improving accuracy of neutron capture cross sections of long-lived minor actinides (MAs; $$^{237}$$Np and $$^{241,243}$$Am) in the fast neutron energy region which are very important for development of nuclear transmutation systems. In order to improve the capture reaction data of MAs, measurements using an intense pulsed neutron beam from a spallation neutron source of J-PARC are planned. The project consists of four parts: (1) development of neutron beam filter system, (2) cross section measurement, (3) sample characteristic assay, and (4) theoretical study. The filter system is designed to solve a double bunch issue in J-PARC. The sample characteristic assay lowers systematic uncertainties originating the samples. In the theoretical study, a nuclear reaction model is applied to analyzing cross sections and $$gamma$$-ray spectra measured in experiments. The outline of the project and the current progress will be presented.

Evaluation of gamma-ray strength function based on measured gamma-ray pulse-height spectra in time-of-flight neutron capture experiments

Gamma-ray strength function (GSF) as well as nuclear level density is important ingredients to calculate neutron capture cross sections, since it gives energy-dependent transition strength of gamma-rays from a capture state and directly relates to spectrum of emitted gamma-rays. Therefore, the improvement of GSF is essential to enhance the reliability of neutron capture cross sections. The shape of GSF has been determined by experiments of neutron capture reactions, (p,p') reactions and nuclear resonance fluorescence. In addition, the use of the information of gamma-ray spectrum (i.e., pulse-height (PH) spectrum) measured by time-of-flight experiments is effective to evaluate the GSF. A lot of PH spectra have been measured by the Ge and NaI(Tl) detectors of the ANNRI installed at the Material and Life Science Experimental Facility in J-PARC. However, those spectra have not been actively used to extract the information of GSF so far. In the present study, we measured the PH spectrum of gold by using the NaI(Tl) detectors in ANNRI and used it for the evaluation of GSF. The gamma-ray spectrum for gold was calculated by a nuclear reaction model code CCONE. The obtained gamma-ray spectrum was applied to the Monte Carlo particle transport simulation code PHITS to derive PH spectrum comparable with the measured data. After this evaluation, we obtained GSF, reasonably explained the measured PH spectrum.

In 2017, a research project entitled "Study on accuracy improvement of fast-neutron capture reaction data of long-lived MAs for development of nuclear transmutation systems" started as a joint collaboration, including Tokyo Tech, Japan Atomic Energy Agency and Kyoto University. This project focuses on neutron capture reaction of MAs, especially $$^{237}$$Np, $$^{241}$$Am and $$^{243}$$Am, in the fast neutron energy region. The final goal of this project is to improve the neutron capture cross sections of $$^{237}$$Np, $$^{241}$$Am and $$^{243}$$Am employing a high-intensity neutron beam from a spallation source of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) that reduces uncertainties of measurement. In this contribution, the overview of the project and the current progress will be presented.

During 2017-2018 winter operation of the Gamma-Ray Observation of Winter Thunderclouds experiment in Japan, two downward terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) that triggered atmospheric photonuclear reactions were detected. They took place during winter thunderstorms on 5 December 2017 and 9 January 2018 at Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Each event coincided with an intracloud/intercloud discharge, which had a negative-polarity peak current higher than 150 kA. Their radio waveforms in the low-frequency band are categorized as a distinct lightning type called energetic in-cloud pulse (EIP). Negative-polarity EIPs have been previously suggested to be highly associated with downward TGFs, and the present observations provide evidence of the correlation between them for the first time. Furthermore, both of the downward TGFs followed gamma-ray glows, minute-lasting high-energy emissions from thunderclouds. It is suggested that the negative EIPs took place with downward propagating negative leaders or upward positive ones developed in highly electrified regions responsible for the gamma-ray glows.

The neutron capture cross-section of $$^{237}$$Np has been measured in the neutron energy region of 10 meV to 500 eV. A neutron time-of-flight method was employed using the NaI(Tl) spectrometer in the ANNRI beam-line at the Japanese Proton Accelerator Re-search Complex (J-PARC). The experimental capture yield was derived using the pulse-height weighting technique and an energy dependent cross-section was obtained relative to the incident neutron spectrum derived from a $$^{10}$$B(n, $$alpha$$)$$^{7}$$Li reaction yield. The absolute cross-section was determined by normalizing the results to JENDL-4.0 cross-section data at the first resonance of $$^{237}$$Np. The thermal cross-section was measured to be 177.6 $$pm$$ 3.8 b. The resolved resonance region was analyzed with the REFIT code.

A research project entitled "Study on improvement of neutron capture reaction data accuracies of long-lived minor actinides in fast neutron energy region for development of nuclear transmutation systems" started in 2017. The project aims at improving accuracies of neutron capture cross section of long-lived minor actinides ($$^{237}$$Np, $$^{241}$$Am, $$^{243}$$Am) in the fast neutron energy region which are very important for development of nuclear transmutation systems. In order to improve the capture reaction data of MA, measurement using an intense pulsed neutron beam from a spallation neutron source of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is planned. The neutron beam filter is designed to solve the so-called double bunch issue of a neutron beam in J-PARC. This allows for measuring neutron capture cross sections using the high-intensity neutron beam of J-PARC. The outline of the project and the current progress will be presented.
