Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：28.7(Chemistry, Analytical)The long-term safety assessment of spent Cs adsorbents produced during the decontamination of radiocesium-containing water at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant requires one to estimate their Cs content prior to final disposal. Cs is usually quantified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), which necessitates the elution of Cs from Cs adsorbents. However, this approach suffers from the high radiation dose from 
Cs. To address this challenge, we herein employed laser ablation ICP-MS for direct quantitation of Cs in Cs adsorbents and used a model Cs adsorbent prepared by immersion of a commercially available Cs adsorbent into radiocesium-containing liquid waste to verify the developed technique. The use of the Cs/Cs ratio and Cs radioactivity obtained by gamma spectrometry achieved simple and precise quantitation of Cs and the resulting Cs activity of 0.36 Bq agreed well with that in the original radiocesium-containing liquid waste.

Times Cited Count：11 Percentile：60.2(Biochemical Research Methods)Determination of radiopalladium Pd is required for ensuring the radiation safety of Pd extracted from spent nuclear fuel for recycling or disposal. We employed laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to simplify an analytical procedure of Pd. Pd was separated through selective Pd precipitation reaction from spent nuclear fuel. Laser ablation allows direct measurement of the Pd precipitates, skipping the dissolution and dilution procedure. In this study, 
Pd in natural Pd standard solution was used as an internal standard, taking advantage of its absence in spent nuclear fuel. The Pd precipitate was uniformly embedded on the surface of the centrifugal filter, forming a microscopically thin flat surface of Pd. The resulting homogeneous Pd layer is suitable for obtaining a stable signal ratio of Pd/Pd. The amount of Pd obtained by LA-ICP-MS corresponds to the values obtained by conventional solution nebulization measurement.

Assuming toroidal symmetry in the erosion and deposition patterns, the net carbon erosion and deposition in the divertor area were estimated to be 0.34 kg and 0.55 kg, respectively. In a whole, the increment of carbon in the divertor region was 0.21 kg, which should be originated from the first wall. The hydrogen concentration in the thick deposition layer of the inner divertor was 0.02 in (H+D)/C. In the plasma-shadowed area underneath the divertor region at around 420 K, re-deposited layers of 2

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)To investigate retention characteristics of hydrogen isotopes in the first wall tiles of JT-60U, surface morphology, erosion/deposition profiles and hydrogen isotope retentions were examined by SEM, XPS, TDS and SIMS. It was found that poloidal deuterium retention profile was rather uniform, while the thermal desorption behavior of deuterium was quite different depending on the locations of the tiles. Deuterium retained in the upper first wall, where was covered by thick boron layers with high concentration of B, was desorbed at lower temperature than that in the lower area covered by carbon layers with much less B content. D/H ratio in the first wall tiles was appreciably higher than that observed in the divertor tiles, suggesting the injection of high energy deuteron originating from NBI into the first wall. In addition, the lower temperature of the first wall compared to that of the divertor tiles would prohibit desorption of the implanted deuterium and/or its replacement by subsequent D or H impingement.

Evaluation of fuel inventory and its retention process are critical issues for a next-step fusion device, especially with carbon-based wall. In order to resolve the issues, the hydrogen retention and carbon deposition analyses for the plasma facing surfaces and plasma-shadowed area of JT-60U have been performed. In JT-60U, erosion/deposition analyses for the plasma facing wall have shown that deposition was dominant at the inner-middle first wall and the inner divertor, whereas erosion dominant at the upper first wall and the outer divertor. Assuming toroidal symmetry in the erosion and deposition patterns, the net carbon erosion and deposition in the divertor area were estimated to be 0.34 kg and 0.55 kg, respectively. In a whole, the increment of carbon in the divertor region was 0.21 kg, which should be originated from the first wall. The hydrogen concentration in the thick deposition layer of the inner divertor was 
0.02 in (H+D)/C. In the plasma-shadowed area underneath the divertor region at around 420 K, re-deposited layers of 2m-thick were found with high hydrogen concentration of 0.8 in (H+D)/C. The carbon deposition rate in the plasma-shadowed area, however, was 810 atoms/s, which was one order smaller than that (610 atoms/s) on the wall surface.
