The research and development (R&D) on the production of Mo/Tc by neutron activation method ((n, 
) method) using JMTR has been carried out in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center. The specific radioactivity of Mo by (n, ) method is extremely low compared with that by fission method ((n,f) method), and as a result, the radioactive concentration of the obtained Tc solution is also lowered. To solve the problem, we propose the solvent extraction with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) for recovery of Tc from Mo produced by (n, ) method. We have developed the Mo/Tc separation/extraction/concentration devices and have carried out the performance tests for recovery of Tc from Mo produced by (n, ) method. In this paper, in order to establish an experimental system for Mo/Tc production, the R&D results of the system are summarized on the improvement of the devices for high-recovery rate of Tc, on the dissolution of the pellets, which is the high-density molybdenum trioxide (MoO
) pellets irradiated in Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR), on the production of Tc, and on the inspection of the recovered Tc solutions.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency has developed PROject management data evaluation code for DIsmantling Activities (PRODIA) to make an efficient decommissioning for nuclear facilities. PRODIA is a source code which provides estimated value such as manpower needs, costs, etc., for dismantling by evaluation formulas according to the type of nuclear facility. Evaluation formulas of manpower needs for dismantling of equipments about reprocessed uranium conversion in Uranium Refining and Conversion Plant are developed in this report. In the result, 7 formulas for prepare process, 24 formulas for dismantling process and 8 formulas for clean-up process are derived. It is confirmed that an unified evaluation formula can be used instead of 8 formulas about dismantling process of steel equipment for uranium conversion process, and 3 types of simplified formula can be used for preparation process and clean-up process respectively.

Three electrostatic accelerators of TIARA were operated smoothly in FY 2010, and all the planned experiments were carried out except those canceled by users or the impact of Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. On the other hand, Saturday operation for experiments was carried out after October on the Global Nuclear-Human Resource Development Initiative. The yearly operation time of the tandem accelerator, the single-ended accelerator and the ion implanter amounted to 2116, 2367 and 1800 hours, respectively, which were similar to those of usual years. Regarding the single-ended accelerator, the generator in the high-voltage terminal failed and was replaced with new one. A switching magnet was installed for a new branch beam line of the ion implanter. As to the tandem accelerator, In ion was generated and accelerated at intensity of 500 nA.

Three electrostatic accelerators of TIARA were operated smoothly in FY 2009, and all the planned experiments were carried out except those canceled by users. The yearly operation time of the tandem accelerator, the single-ended accelerator and the ion implanter amounted to 2100, 2416 and 1866 hours, respectively. Regarding the single-ended accelerator, the radio frequency oscillator of the ion source mounted in high-voltage terminal and the sequencer for control of the SB beam line failed, and they were replaced. The oven controller of Freeman ion source of the ion implanter was renewed. As to the tandem accelerator, Mn ion was successfully generated and accelerated with intensity of 150 nA.

Operation times of each accelerator are keeping the same level as in recent 10 years, Tandem accelerator, Single-ended and Ion implanter amounted to about 2,000, 2,500 and 1,900 hours, respectively. In the last fiscal year, we succeeded in maintaining the terminal voltage of the tandem accelerator to high stability for long periods by exchanging the material of a corona-probe needle to the tungsten (NPS Co.). In the ion-implanter, the oven control system equipped with the Freeman ion source was renewed. There was no trouble to affect on the machine-time in the last fiscal year, so the all planned experiments were carried out.

Three electrostatic accelerators of TIARA were operated smoothly in FY 2008, and all the planned experiments were carried out except those canceled by users. The yearly operation time of the tandem accelerator, the single-ended accelerator and the ion implanter amounted to 2009, 2426 and 1882 hours, respectively. Regarding the tandem accelerator, the control system was renewed, and the unstable acceleration voltage caused by mechanical vibration reduced by adjusting the driving mechanism of the pellet chains. The SF
gas for the single-ended accelerator was purified, and its storage tank was repainted. As to the ion implanter, Bi ion, which was requested by users, was successfully generated and accelerated with intensity of 0.5

Three electrostatic accelerators were operated smoothly in FY 2007, and all the planned experiments were carried out except those canceled by users. The yearly operation time of the tandem accelerator, the single-ended accelerator and the ion implanter amounted to 1949, 2437 and 1900 hours. The high-pressure residual gas of SF is leaking from the SF gas handling system of the tandem accelerator. The most amount of the leak comes out when the accelerator tank pressure is high. Therefore, in order to reduce the leak by lowering the residual gas pressure, a pipe was installed to carry the gas in the high-pressure part of the system for the accelerator to the low-pressure storage tank. As to the ion implanter, Pb ion, which was requested by users, was successfully generated using oven method and accelerated with intensity of 1.5 A.

Three electrostatic accelerators were almost operated smoothly for various experiments in FY 2005. The yearly operation time of each accelerator amounts to 1974, 2359.9, 1859.9 hour for the tandem, the single-ended and the ion implanter, respectively. Main trouble was a short circuit of a part of the ion source in the single-ended accelerator. This lets to the suspension of operation for fifteen days. As features in FY 2005, the generation of the power cut by thunderbolts and large earthquakes were abounding. By this natural force, the Turbo-molecular pump was broken, experiment was interrupted and then the inspection of accelerator facility was carried out every time. New beam acceleration and improvement of each accelerator were carried out.

A project to expand at TIARA (Takasaki Ion Accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application) facilities of JAERI has been proposed to broaden applications in biotechnology and materials science. Heavy ions with energy more than 100 MeV/n are required for remarkable progress in breeding of plant and development of new materials. The magnet of a superconducting AVF cyclotron with a K number of 900 has been designed to cope with acceleration of both 150 MeV/n heavy ions and 300 MeV protons. The lower limit of energies has been investigated to overlap the energy region covered by the JAERI AVF cyclotron, required to increase beam time for present users. We have designed a beam transport system to satisfy requirements of the applications.

A superconducting AVF cyclotron with a bending limit of 900 MeV and a focusing limit of 300 MeV is being designed to meet the requirements for the research in materials science and biotechnology at TIARA facility of JAERI. The spiral-sector shape of the cyclotron magnet has been optimized for acceleration of a 300 MeV proton to produce sufficient focusing forces in an extraction region. An energy range of the superconducting AVF cyclotron overlaps with that of the present K110 JAERI AVF cyclotron. Characteristics of a resonator for the superconducting AVF cyclotron have been investigated using the MAFIA code. An acceleration voltage in a frequency range of 24 to 64 MHz can be produced by the resonator with a 
/2 excitation mode.
