Liquid hydrogen is employed as a cold neutron moderator material at the spallation neutron source of Materials and Life science experimental Facility of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). From January 2015, it became observable that the differential pressure between heat exchangers and an 80 K adsorber (ADS) in a helium refrigerator system increased with operating time. In November 2015, the differential pressure rise became more significant, leading to degrade the refrigerating performance in cooling liquid hydrogen. In order to investigate the cause of the abnormal differential pressure rise between the heat exchangers and the ADS, we carried out visual inspection inside the heat exchangers and analyzed the impurities contained in the helium gas. Unfortunately, we could not identify the impurities causing the performance degradation, but observed a trace of oil in the inlet piping of the heat exchanger. Based on investigations of the abnormal events occurred in the refrigerators with similar refrigerating capacity at other facilities, we took measures that cleaning the heat exchangers with Freon and replacing the ADS with new one. As a result, the differential pressure rise phenomenon was removed to recover the performance. We have detected oil from the Freon used for cleaning the heat exchangers and at a felt supporting charcoal packed in the ADS. In particular, oil was accumulated in membranous form onto the felt at the entrance side in the ADS. The amount of oil contained in the helium gas was about 10 ppb or so, less than the design value, in the helium refrigerator. However, the oil accumulated onto the felt in the ADS through long operating period may cause abnormal differential pressure rise, leading to the performance degradation of the helium refrigerator. Further study is needed to specify the cause more clearly.

Fission-track analyses for samples corrected from around the Atera fault indicated 2 conclusions. The dip-slip displacement of the Atera fault after Cretaceous is about 1 km. It is similar to the displacement of basement rocks or topography across the fault. These are consistent with previous studies that indicated the present Atera fault activity began after late Pliocene. The fracture zone along the fault was widely heated at about 20 Ma. It indicates that the fracture zone existed at the time and perhaps the paleo fault activity has already begun.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:49.6(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.

H-InvDB, originally developed as an integrated database of the human transcriptome based on extensive annotation of large sets of fulllength cDNA (FLcDNA) clones, now provides annotation for 120 558 human mRNAs extracted from the International Nucleotide Sequence Databases (INSD), in addition to 54 978 human FLcDNAs, in the latest release H-InvDB. We mapped those human transcripts onto the human genome sequences (NCBI build 36.1) and determined 34 699 human gene clusters, which could define 34 057 protein-coding and 642 non-protein-coding loci; 858 transcribed loci overlapped with predicted pseudogenes.

A conceptual design study of the sodium-cooled fast reactor is in progress in the Feasibility Study on Commercialized Fast Reactor Cycle Systems. Reduced scale water experiments are being performed in order to clarify the flow pattern in the upper plenum of the reactor which has higher velocity condition than the past design. In this report, the hydraulic analyses of the water experiments using the general-purpose thermal hydraulic analysis program were executed; and the applicability to evaluation of flow pattern and vortex cavitations for the designed reactor was examined. (1) Steady-state analyses under the Froude number similar condition were carried out for the 1/10th reduced scale plenum experiments. Analyses results reproduced the characteristic flow patterns in the upper plenum, such as gushed flow from the inside of the upper internal structure to reactor vessel wall and the jet flow from the slit of the upper internal structure. Further, it was confirmed that the calculated flow pattern of a designed reactor system agreed with that of the water experiment qualitatively. Moreover, the influence which setting of numerical solution and boundary condition etc. in analyzing causes to flow pattern in the plenum became clear. (2) The distribution of the vortices under the dipped plate region in the 1/10th plenum model was evaluated using the prediction method of a submerged vortex which is based on the stretching vortex theory. In case of the same velocity condition as the reactor, it identified the two vortices which were sucked into the hot leg piping from the cold leg piping wall as the submerged vortex cavitations. From this analysis result, it confirmed that the submerged vortex cavitations, which may occur in the reactor upper plenum steadily, could be identified using this prediction method.

An innovative sodium-cooled fast reactor (JSFR) has been investigated on the Feasibility Study on Commercialized Fast Reactor (FR) Cycle Systems. In order to reduce plant construction cost, JSFR adopts compacted reactor vessel and reduction of loop number. According to adoption of compacted cooling system, sodium flow velocities in the reactor upper plenum and the pipings of the cooling system exceed to those of conventional design, therefore, flow optimization in the reactor upper plenum and structural integrity of the piping system to flow-induced vibration (FIV) have been actualized as thermal-hydraulic issues. To solve above issues, some water experiments have been performed. The thermal-hydraulic design of the primary cooling system including the reactor vessel has been advanced reflecting these experimental results.

The attractive concepts for Sodium-, lead-bismuth-, helium- and water-cooled FBRs have been created through using typical plant features and employing advanced technologies. Efforts on evaluating technological prospects of feasibility have been paid for these concepts. Also, it was comfirmed if these concepts satisfy design requierments of capability and performance presumed in the feasibilty study on commertialization of Fast Breeder Reactor Systems. As results, it was concluded that the selection of sodium-cooled reactor was most rational for practical use of FBR technologies in 2015.
