In order to examine the feasibility of the experiment, we measured the background rates of different detector candidate sites, which are located at the third floor of the MLF, using a detector consisting of plastic scintillators with a fiducial mass of 500 kg. The gammas and neutrons induced by the beam as well as the backgrounds from the cosmic rays were measured, and the results are described in this article.

JAEA is responsible for siting a proper location to establish new disposal facilities with siting criterion and procedure, in consideration of transparency and impartial for the siting process, based on Plan Concerning the Disposal Business Execution. As a part of the study to draw up siting criterion and procedure, Sensitivity analysis of the disposal facilities from the viewpoint of dose evaluation and cost estimation under various siting condition will be carried out. Therefore, Conceptual design of disposal facilities as a reference case is necessary. The basic condition of the design conforms to the property, quantity, radioactivity of waste packages, technical standards and likely siting condition. This report summarizes the results of the reasonable design of our disposal facilities and the layout of the place of activity where the disposal facilities and associated facilities to be installed.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：38.03(Physics, Applied)We demonstrate the potential of a hydrothermal method-grown ZnO as a high-spatial resolution imaging device for in-situ soft X-ray laser diagnostics by characterizing the exciton emission patterns. By plotting the emission pattern radii at each position, we estimated the evolution of the beam radius around the focal point. The beam profile of the Ni-like Ag ion plasma laser was estimated from the waist radii as 29 and 21
m, the divergence angle as 7.2 and 11 mrad and the M2 factor as 47 and 50 in the horizontal- and vertical-axis, respectively. Spatial resolution of the magnifier was estimated to be 6m and is expected to improve by optimizing the optics of the magnifier and using a telescope. Our results would enhance the use of ZnO as an imaging device that would play a crucial role in the development and application of soft X-ray light sources.

The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Project Center of Japan Atomic Energy Agency will establish a sitting criterion and procedure in a fair and transparent manner to settle on a near surface disposal facility for low level radioactive wastes generated from research, industrial and medical facilities, based on "Plan Concerning the Disposal Business Execution". Therefore, reasonable conceptual design of the disposal facilities will be planned under premise conditions of sitting condition on natural and social environment, waste form condition including radioactive inventory and waste packages, and technical standards based on "Law for the Regulations of Nuclear Source Material, Nuclear Fuel Material and Reactors" and "Law concerning Prevention of Radiation Hazards due to Radioisotopes, etc." and so on. This report summarizes the results of the investigation on the sitting condition in these premise conditions for conceptual designs of the disposal facilities.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting R&D efforts for that. We are developing high-brightness DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting (SC) linacs, and 1.3 GHz high CW-power RF sources. We are also constructing the Compact ERL (cERL) for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using above-mentioned critical technologies.

Future synchrotron light sources based on the energy-recovery linacs (ERLs) are expected to be capable of producing super-brilliant and/or ultra-short pulses of synchrotron radiation. Our Japanese collaboration team is making efforts for realizing an ERL-based hard X-ray source. We report recent progress in our R&D efforts.

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.

It is considered that the uncertainty of construction cost due to geological heterogeneity is quite large. Therefore, it is crucial to make a long-term consistent budget plan for a construction period of tens years and to have engineering strategies for reducing a total budget. In this study, a risk management approach for construction in a heterogeneous fractured rock is developed. In this approach, methodologies of calculating construction costs for excavating drifts and taking countermeasures at high-hydrostatic pressured fracture zones in a heterogeneous rock are established. The cost for excavating drift is calculated from the heterogeneity of rock strength estimated from a geostatistical modeling approach. The cost for taking countermeasures is calculated from the heterogeneity of large fracture zone estimated from a probabilistic discrete fracture network modeling approach. In addition, a risk for a construction is assessed by a risk cost curve commonly used in the financial business.

The areas of age-related macular degeneration, tumor in brain pituitary and vascular lesions such as AVM (Arterio Venous Malformation) to be treated are 1
1 mm, 3030 mm and 33 mm respectively. To treat these by heavy ion beam instead of surgical operation, not only the spatial resolution of the beam should be 100 micrometer to 1 mm, but also the formation of it be pencil-shaped, so that the diameter of beam hardly depends on the depth of it in the target. The pencil beam transport system was studied and designed for carbon microsurgery therapy, as a part of the 21st century COE program. In this study, one of the vertical beam lines of a heavy ion therapy facility to be constructed in Gunma University was a model for beam optics calculations. The parameters of the magnetic components such as bending magnets and quadrupole ones, were optimized to obtain a sub-millimeter beam on the target. The range shifter is inserted in the beam line to form spread out bragg peak. Effect of inserting range shifters were also estimated, especially for growth of beam emittance by scattering in the further calculation. The total layout of this system and the beam optics simulations are explained in detail in the poster session.

In order to measure neutron spectrum in high -ray field, a new nuclear emulsion and its data-processing system are developed. This report examined the optimal development conditions about the new nuclear emulsion NGITA (Neutron-Gamma Image TrAcker). By lowering developing solution temperature to 10 
C from 20 C, the sensitivity to a ray was able to be controlled to the abbreviation 1/10, with the sensitivity to a neutron maintained.

In order to measure a neutron-spectrum under high ray environment, a new nuclear emulsion and its data-processing method are developed. In fast neutron measurement using the nuclear emulsion which can record the three-dimensional track of a charged particle, incidence neutron energy spectrum can be obtained by analyzing the track of the recoil proton generated by the elastic scattering of a neutron. The high-speed automatic analytic method of the recoil proton track in a nuclear plate is developed. It checked that the recoil proton track length distribution obtained by viewing and automatic analysis was in agreement with a model calculation result about by the basic experiment using 14 MeV neutron.
