Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:30.80(Nuclear Science & Technology)Effects of zirconium oxides and oxidation products of zircaloy-4 on water radiolysis were investigated to predict the hydrogen generation from the water-immersed debris after a severe accident of a nuclear power plant. Observed yields of hydrogen in water containing the oxides were measured as a function of their weight fractions. Assuming that energies of Co-60 -ray deposited to water and the oxides brought about the water radiolysis to generate hydrogen independently, the radiolysis showed an additional term of hydrogen generation due to the energy deposition to the oxides. This term seemed to be dependent on the specific surface area or particle size of oxides, but not on the crystal structure of oxides in our experimental results. The oxides in distilled water gave the strong enhancement of term. The enhancement tended to saturate with increasing the weight fraction of oxides and was not apparent in the seawater.

Since seawater has been used as a coolant for reactors and spent fuel pools in broken reactor buildings at Fukushima Daiichi NPS accident, radioactive contaminated water emitted following the accident has contained salt content of seawater at high concentrations, different from that at TMI-2 accident. Radiolysis of seawater leading to hydrogen generation and corrosion has been simulated and reported by several groups. However, the proposed radiolysis models cannot be always applied to water radiolysis at the wide range of salt concentrations present in the NPS, mainly because primary yields of radiolysis products of water and radiation-induced reactions are dependent on the salt concentration. In this study, the radiolytic behavior in diluted and concentrated systems of seawater was considered on the basis of results in steady state and pulse radiolysis experiments, in which the above salt effects were demonstrated from the obtained results.

Divertor IR Thermography is one of the diagnostics which Japan is in charge of development in ITER project. The conceptual design has been performed so far, and the progress is reported here. By reducing the size of mirrors, and making the optical path a labyrinthine structure, the design of a new optics that fills requirements of both spatial resolution and neutron shielding has been advanced. To achieve the required measurement accuracy, the detected signal and the noises such as bremsstrahlung light, detector noise and thermal noise of optical components were evaluated. Higher photons than the bremsstrahlung light are obtained, excluding the low temperature range. The simulation calculation of reflection from wall was started. Detailed method of data processing of deriving the profiles of surface temperature in the divertor plates from the observed signals and in-situ calibration strategies of the optical system are important issues and will be discussed.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:60.78(Physics, Nuclear)We have measured deexcitation rays in the neutron-rich nuclei of
U,
Pu and
Cm. These nuclei were produced by the (
O,
O) two-neutron transfer reactions with a 200, 162 and 162 MeV
O beams and a
U,
Pu and
Cm targets, respectively, using the tandem accelerator at Tokai, Japan. The
rays in residual nuclei were measured by taking coincidence with scattering particles using Si
-
detectors. We have identified
rays in
U,
Pu and
Cm by selecting the kinetic energies of
O particles which correspond to the excitation energies in these nuclei below their neutron separation energies. The ground-state bands of
U,
Pu and
Cm were established up to 12
states and the
octupole band of
U was established up to 9
state. Because the deformations of these nuclei are well developed, the moments of inertia reflect the pairing gap, which is expected to be smaller, resulting in a larger moment of inertia, at the deformed shell closure. We have found that the moment of inertia of the ground-state band of
Cm
is considerably larger than that of
Cm
. This fact supports the existence of the deformed subshell closure at
in Cm isotopes. On the other hand, the moment of inertia of
Pu
was found to be smaller than that of
Pu
, which suggests that the deformed subshell closure at
weakens or disappears in Pu isotopes. These results are consistent with the prediction by a cranking model calculation.
