Seismic PRA is an effective measure to consider the countermeasures and improvement plans to secure the further safety of nuclear power plants regarding to seismic risk for the earthquake exceeding the reference ground motion. However, the application of the seismic PRA has not been utilized sufficiently so far. One of the reasons is that there is not enough consensus among stakeholders regarding to the evaluation methods and consideration of uncertainty for decision-making. This study proposes the mathematic framework to treat the uncertainty properly related to the evaluation of Core Damage Frequency induced by earthquake, the method to evaluate the fragility utilizing expert knowledge, the probabilistic model to cope with the aleatory uncertainty as well as the development of analyzing code including these considerations for the improvement of the reliability of the method and enhancement of utilization of the products of Seismic PRA.

C. After the irradiation, the increase in Vickers hardness and the decrease in electrical resistivity were observed. The increase in hardness by electron irradiation is proportional to the product of the Cu contents and the square root of the electron dose. The decrease in electrical resistivity is proportional to the product of the square of Cu contents and the electron dose. Cu clustering in the materials with electron irradiation and thermal aging was observed by means of the three dimensional atom probes (3D-AP). The change in Vickers hardness and electrical resistivity is well correlated with the volume fraction of Cu clusters.

This project, focusing on uncertainty assessment framework and utilization of expertise, and finally developing relevant computer codes to improve reliability of seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA) and to promote its further use of the SPRA, develops methodology for quantification of uncertainty associated with final results from SPRA in the framework of risk management of NPP facilities. The following scopes are set. (1) Development of framework of probabilistic models for uncertainty quantification and Computer codes (2) Aggregation of expert opinion on structure/equipment fragility estimation and development of implementation guidance on epistemic uncertainty (modeling uncertainty) (3) Study on applicability of SPRA to model plant. In this report, program plan of our research and new probabilistic models and treatment of epistemic uncertainty will be explained as part 1.

In this research project, study on probabilistic models and treatment of epistemic uncertainty, study on quantification of epistemic uncertainty on fragility assessment and verification of usefulness of proposed method are performed for reliability enhancement of seismic risk assessment. We are performing examination to treat the epistemic uncertainty in the analysis by using SECOM2-DQFM code developed by JAEA. Development of the program is now performed considered about uncertainty analysis method based on Direct Quantification of Fault Tree using Monte Carlo Simulation (DQFM) method. In this report, the uncertainty analysis method will be explained.

We have proposed a negative ion beam probe system as a new scheme to diagnose beam profiles of high power positive ion beams. We show the present status of the proof-of-principle experiment for the negative ion beam probe system performed at NIFS NBI test stand. A negative hydrogen ion source which produces a rectangular shape beam was installed at the diagnostic chamber in the NBI test stand and the total current of H
beam extracted from the ion source was measured. We obtained the total H beam current of 10 
A with the beam energy of 3 kV.

This is the first of a series of papers on a study on next generation seismic probabilistic safety assessment methodology being conducted by the authors as a three-year project "Reliability Enhancement of Seismic Risk Assessment of Nuclear Power Plants as Risk Management Fundamentals", which was started in 2012 and is funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology (MEXT) of Japan. This paper gives an overview of the program plan and a proposal of new mathematical framework of S-PRA. We developed a computer code based on SECOM2-DQFM developed by JAEA. The proposed mathematical framework will be built-in it in order to make it possible to estimate the accident sequence occurrence probability and its uncertainty.
