Times Cited Count:53 Percentile:96.13(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Here we report observations of Ryugu's subsurface material by the Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS3) on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. Reflectance spectra of excavated material exhibit a hydroxyl (OH) absorption feature that is slightly stronger and peak-shifted compared with that observed for the surface, indicating that space weathering and/or radiative heating have caused subtle spectral changes in the uppermost surface. However, the strength and shape of the OH feature still suggests that the subsurface material experienced heating above 300 C, similar to the surface. In contrast, thermophysical modeling indicates that radiative heating does not increase the temperature above 200
C at the estimated excavation depth of 1 m, even if the semimajor axis is reduced to 0.344 au. This supports the hypothesis that primary thermal alteration occurred due to radiogenic and/or impact heating on Ryugu's parent body.

Times Cited Count:285 Percentile:99.69(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu, the target of Hayabusa2 sample return mission, is believed to be a primitive carbonaceous object. The Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS3) on Hayabusa2 acquired reflectance spectra of Ryugu's surface to provide direct measurements of the surface composition and geological context for the returned samples. A weak, narrow absorption feature centered at 2.72 micron was detected across the entire observed surface, indicating that hydroxyl (OH)-bearing minerals are ubiquitous there. The intensity of the OH feature and low albedo are similar to thermally- and/or shock-metamorphosed carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. There are few variations in the OH-band position, consistent with Ryugu being a compositionally homogeneous rubble-pile object generated from impact fragments of an undifferentiated aqueously altered parent body.

3 GeV Protons with 1 MW beam power are irradiated to mercury target of spallation neutron source in Materials and Life science Facility (MLF), which is one of facilities of J-PARC. Irradiated components, such as target container, moderator, reflector and proton beam window, are needed to replace periodically due to irradiation damage of high energy protons and neutrons. These used components are replaced remotely because of highly activated. Maintenance scenario was settled so as to handle these components. Required remote handling machines were designed and installed in hot cell and other room of the MLF. We performed remote handling tests by using actual components to confirm the design. We report results, such as replacement procedure, trouble and its solution, etc., for moderator, reflector and proton beam window in order to provide the handling of actual used components.

It is observed that measured critical currents of a large current CIC conductor sample become lower than expected ones, since unbalanced current distribution is caused through contacting resistances between strands and Cu sleeves in CIC conductor joints. In order to evaluate the contacting length, we identify all strands 3 dimensional positions in the CIC conductor, and then we measure contacting number and lengths of strands which appear on surface of the cable for contacting with the Cu sleeves. It is found that some strands do not appear on the surface of cable and the contacting lengths are widely distributed with large standard deviation. We develop a numerical code which simulates strand positions in the CIC, and then compare the analyzed contacting strand number and contacting length with measured ones. It is found that the both results are in good agreement and hence the code is available for evaluating the contacting parameters. We vary twist pitches of sub-cables to search the contacting parameters and then show that all strands appear on the cable surface and have contacting lengths with small standard deviation. It is found that the twist pitches are a key parameter for optimization of the contacting parameters.

Focusing on the cover layer materials (as the Radon Barrier Materials), which could have the effect to restrain the radon from scattering into the air and the effect of the radiation shielding, we produced the radon barrier materials with crude bentonite on an experimental basis, using the rotary type comprehensive unit for grinding and mixing, through which we carried out the evaluation of the characteristics thereof.

The reactor control system of HTTR is composed of the reactor power control system, the reactor inlet coolant temperature control system, the primary coolant flow rate control system and so on. The reactor control system of HTTR achieves reactor power 30MW, reactor outlet coolant temperature 850C, reactor inlet coolant temperature 395
C under the condition that primary coolant flow rate is fixed. In the Rise-to-Power Test, the performance test of the reactor inlet coolant temperature control system was carried out in order to confirm the control capability of this control system. This report shows the test results of performance test. As a result, the control parameters, which can control the reactor inlet coolant temperature stably during the reactor operation, were successfully selected. And it was confirmed that the reactor inlet coolant temperature control system has the capability of controlling the reactor inlet coolant temperature stably against any disturbances on the basis of operational condition of HTTR.

HTTR (High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor) was operated from May 6th, 2003 to June 18th, 2003 to obtain operation data in parallel loaded operation mode and in safety demonstration tests. Operated with the reactor power at 60% of the rated power on May 21st, HTTR was automatically scrammed by a signalof "Primary coolant flow rate of the Primary Pressurized Water Cooler (PPWC): Low". The cause of the shutdown was the primary gas circulator (A) automatically stopped. The primary coolant flow rate of the PPWC decresed and reached the scram set value due to the gas circulator stop. As a result of investigation, it became clear that the cause of the gas circulator stop was malfunction of an auxiliary relay which monitored electric power of a circuit breaker in power line of the gas circulator. The cause of malfunction was deterioration of the relay under high temperature condition because the relay was installed beside an electric part which was heated up by electricity.

JAXA spacecraft and sample return mission Hayabusa2 has arrived at the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu, which is classified a primitive carbonaceous object. Here we report recent results of near-infrared spectrometer (NIRS3) on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. The observations provide direct measurements of the surface composition of Ryugu and context for the returned samples. NIRS3 has detected a weak and narrow absorption feature centered at 2.72 micrometer across entire observed surface. This absorption feature is attributed to the presence of OH-bearing minerals. The NIRS3 observations also revealed that Ryugu is the darkest object to be observed up-close by a visiting spacecraft. The intensity of the OH feature and low albedo are consistent with thermally-and/or shock-metamorphosed, and/or carbon-rich space-weathered primitive and hydrated carbonaceous chondrites.
