Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：7.99(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)A superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeter is an ideal X-ray detector for experiments at accelerator facilities because of good energy resolution and high efficiency. To study the performance of the TES detector with a high-intensity pulsed charged-particle beam, we measured X-ray spectra with a pulsed muon beam at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) in Japan. We found substantial temporal shifts of the X-ray energy correlated with the arrival time of the pulsed muon beam, which was reasonably explained by pulse pileup due to the incidence of energetic particles from the initial pulsed beam.

Times Cited Count：15 Percentile：78.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We observed electronic X rays emitted from muonic iron atoms using a superconducting transition-edge-type sensor microcalorimeter. The energy resolution of 5.2 eV in FWHM allowed us to observe the asymmetric broad profile of the electronic characteristic 
and 
X rays together with the hypersatellite X rays around 6 keV. This signature reflects the time-dependent screening of the nuclear charge by the negative muon and the 
-shell electrons, accompanied by electron side-feeding. Assisted by a simulation, this data clearly reveals the electronic - and -shell hole production and their temporal evolution during the muon cascade process.

At the JAEA MOX Fuel Facilities, a worker engaged in glove box operations uses two personal dosemeters, one worn on the trunk under a protective apron and the other at the collar over the apron. The recorded lens of the eye dose is based on the photon dose measured by the collar dosemeter plus the neutron dose measured by the under-apron dosemeter.

Beta spectra of various nuclide species were measured by commercially available compact spectrometer. The shape of spectra obtained from the spectrometer approximately agreed with that of theoretical spectra. The beta dose equivalent at any depths has been able to be obtained as a product of measured pulse height spectra and appropriate conversion coefficients of ICRP Publ. 74. The dose rates evaluated from the spectra were comparable to the reference dose rates of standard beta calibration sources. And, we were able to determine the dose equivalent with relative error of indication of 10% without the complicated correction.

Almost all industrial products are assembled from multiple parts. A nuclear facility is a large structure consisting of more than 10 million components. This paper discusses a method to analyze an assembly by gathering data on its component parts. Gathered data on component may identify ill conditioned meshes for connecting surfaces between components. These ill meshes are typified by nodal point disagreement in finite element discretization. A technique to resolve inconsistencies in data among the components is developed. By using this technique, structural analysis for an assembly can be carried out, and results can be obtained by the use of supercomputers, such as the K computer. Numerical results are discussed for components of the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor.

K computer is one of the highest performance computers in the world. This paper discusses one of R&D issues in K computer national project. Industrial products are an artifact, which are assembly consisting of simple components more than at least two regardless of the big products and small products. In the nuclear industry, the facilities are large structures consisting of over 10 millions of components, since they are engaged with the highest technology and for safety sake. This paper introduces a method to analyze an assembly by gathering its components data. In the manner of gathering components data, it is raised many issues to concern among components. It is developed a technique to solve the inconsistent data among the components. By using this technique, a structural analysis for an assembly is done by using K computer. Numerical results are presented in the case of analysis for High Temperature engineering Test Reactor's components.

We so far discovered the total reflection and the first Bragg peak in reflection high-energy positron diffraction (RHEPD). However, the fractional order diffractions from reconstructed surfaces have been eluded from the observation. We therefore attempted to get RHEPD patterns from a Si-77 surface. Consequently, the 1/7, 2/7 and 3/7 diffraction rings due to Si(111)-77 reconstruction were clearly found in addition to the zeroth and the first Laue zones. The specular intensity was measured as a function of glancing angle. A small structure was found in the total reflection region. The small structure was attributed to the interference of positron wavefunction because of adatoms. However, the overall intensity profile was not well reproduced using a model already determined in the electron diffraction studies. To reproduce the obtained intensity profile, we may need to modify the vertical positions of the topmost surface and/or the absorption potential due to inelastic scattering processes.

Times Cited Count：25 Percentile：72.20(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We report the first observation of reflection high-energy positron diffraction from a 
reconstructed Si(111) surface with an well-collimated 20 kV positron beam. The diffraction pattern clearly exhibited the 1/7-th to 3/7-th order Laue zones in addition to the zero-th and first Laue zones. From the dynamical calculation of the rocking curve in the total reflection region, the vertical position of adatom layer was determined to be 1.52 
relative to the stacking fault layer. This value is greater than that predicted in the first principles study suggesting a significant outward relaxation of adatoms.

Based on the experienced light water reactor technology, conceptual design studies on advanced water-cooled reactors have been performed. They are named “Reduced-Moderation Water Reactor" (RMWR) with the high conversion ratio more than 1.0 and the negative void reactivity coefficients. Several concepts have been successfully established for them based on the neutronics calculations. Based on these concepts, detailed investigations on such as plutonium multiple recycling and control rod planning have been performed as well as improvement on core performances. Through these detailed core design investigation, the feasibility of those designs has been confirmed step by step.

An advanced water-cooled reactor concept named the Reduced-Moderation Water Reactor (RMWR) has been proposed to attain a high conversion ratio more than 1.0 and to achieve the negative void reactivity coefficient. At present, several types of design concepts satisfying both the design targets have been proposed based on the evaluation for the fuel without fission products and minor actinides. In this paper, the feasibility of the RMWR core is investigated and confirmed for the plutonium multiple recycling under advanced reprocessing schemes with low decontamination factors as proposed for the FBR fuel cycle.
