Klystron power supplies in the J-PARC have been generated high voltage DC power by chopping 12-phase AC voltage power by thyristors, and boosting the voltage up to 110 kV in step-up transformer and rectifying the voltage in high voltage rectifiers. Some of the high voltage transformers (HVTR), which consist of the step-up transformer and the high voltage rectifier and the reactor, were often broken in the running time of over 30,000 hours. This failure caused the long-term shut down of the J-PARC facility. The high voltage rectifier composed diodes and condensers by a series connection of 66 stages. Investigation of the failed rectifier shows that the capacitors ware applied the overvoltage because the flashover occurred on the ceramic surface. We investigated the mechanisms applying the overvoltage and took measure for the overvoltage to the rectifier. The HVTR with the improved rectifier has been operating for long term to assess the modification effect.

In J-PARC linac, six units of high voltage power supplies for 324 MHz klystrons have operated since 2006, and those running time exceed 35,000 hours. In addition, six units of power supplies for the 972 MHz klystrons have been operation since 2013. In the power supply, various troubles occur under the operation. In some anode modulators, arc discharge in the transformer oil had occurred due to the deterioration of the auxiliary solid insulator. In three modules combining a step-up transformer and a rectifier, the high voltage diode was breakdown because an unexpected overvoltage was applied. And by improving the voltage dividing resistor of the module, high stability cathode voltage was achieved. In this report, we describe the trouble and the improvement that occurred in the equipment.

This report describes the present status of the klystron power supply systems for the J-PARC linac. The systems for the 181 MeV linac were operated from September to May. A few breakdowns were occurred, and are described in this report. The new systems for the upgrade of the linac from 181MeV to 400 MeV have been installed until now, and the 3 HVDCPSs and the 3 anode modulators of the new systems have been operated. All the systems for 400 MeV linac will be operated in this autumn.

In the intermediate depth disposal of radioactive waste, the monitoring boreholes are backfilled and sealed at the end of the monitoring period to prevent potential migration pathways for radioactive materials. However, the method to confirm whether the borehole is properly sealed has not been established, and there is a lack of scientific knowledge to determine the validity of borehole sealing. The aim of this study is to develop the confirmation method. Therefore, based on previous studies, experimental and analytical considerations were performed to identify the confirmation points of borehole sealing. In the former, laboratory experiments were performed to understand the swelling behavior and permeability of bentonite block in the borehole. These results indicated that the initial water content of the bentonite block could affect the internal structure after swelling. In the latter, groundwater flow analyses were performed for the hydrogeological structures with backfilled boreholes to understand the effect of backfill conditions on the borehole sealing. It was shown that the backfill conditions to prevent the formation of water pathways in the borehole were the grouting BDZ (Borehole Disturbed Zone), etc.
