An accelerator mass spectrometry at Mutsu office, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA AMS MUTSU) was established in 1997 and the routine operation of radiocarbon measurement was started from 1999. The radiocarbon was measured by 1,053 samples in 2010, and the number of radiocarbon measurements reached 10,342 samples since the routine operation. This AMS has adopted the open door policy for the general users from the fiscal year of 2006 and various researches have been in progress by many users. In this presentation, I introduce the current status of JAEA AMS MUTSU.

An accelerator mass spectrometry at Aomori Research and Development Center, JAEA (JAEA-AMS-MUTSU) was established in 1997 and the routine operation of C and I measurement was started from 1999 and 2003, respectively. This AMS has adopted the open door policy for the general users from the fiscal year of 2006 and various researches have been in progress by many users. In this presentation, we introduce the status of JAEA-AMS-MUTSU. The total number of measurements has increased well for five years after the open door policy excluding in 2008. The reasons for the decrease in 2008 were that we had stopped the operation of AMS for about one and half months because the operation system of AMS was upgraded, and that we could not measure the C for several months because the amplifier of detector had broken. We had resolved this trouble and our AMS can measure smoothly both C and I.

This report describes the results of the conceptual design study of the SlimCS fusion DEMO reactor aiming at demonstrating fusion power production in a plant scale and allowing to assess the economic prospects of a fusion power plant. The design study has focused on a compact and low aspect ratio tokamak reactor concept with a reduced-sized central solenoid, which is novel compared with previous tokamak reactor concept such as SSTR (Steady State Tokamak Reactor). The reactor has the main parameters of a major radius of 5.5 m, aspect ratio of 2.6, elongation of 2.0, normalized beta of 4.3, fusion out put of 2.95 GW and average neutron wall load of 3 MW/m. This report covers various aspects of design study including systemic design, physics design, torus configuration, blanket, superconducting magnet, maintenance and building, which were carried out increase the engineering feasibility of the concept.

Times Cited Count:135 Percentile:97.73(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Recent design study on SlimCS focused mainly on the torus configuration including blanket, divertor, materials and maintenance scheme. For vertical stability of elongated plasma and high beta access, a sector-wide conducting shell is arranged in between replaceable and permanent blanket. The reactor adopts pressurized-water-cooled solid breeding blanket. Compared with the previous advanced concept with supercritical water, the design options satisfying tritium self-sufficiency are relatively scarce. Considered divertor technology and materials, an allowable heat load to the divertor plate should be 8 MW/m or lower, which can be a critical constraint for determining a handling power of DEMO (a combination of alpha heating power and external input power for current drive).

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:54.96(Nuclear Science & Technology)Neutronics experiments have been performed for the solid breeder blanket using a DT neutron source at the FNS facility in JAEA. We have applied the blanket mockup composed of two enriched LiTiO and three beryllium layers, and measured the detailed spatial distribution of the tritium production rate (TPR) using enriched LiCO pellets. TPRs in the pellets have been measured by a liquid scintillation counter. Experiments have been done under a condition with a neutron reflector surrounding the DT neutron source. Numerical simulations have been performed using the MCNP-4C with the FENDL-2.0 and JENDL-3.3. The ranges of ratios of calculation results to experimental ones (C/Es) are 0.97-1.17 concerning with local TPR, and 1.04-1.09 for the integrated tritium production. It is found that the total integrated tritium production, which corresponds to tritium breeding ratio, can be predicted within uncertainty of 10% using the Monte Carlo calculation code and latest nuclear data libraries.

The test blanket module (TBM), water cooled pebble bed type, which is to be installed in ITER has been designed in JAEA. The TBM is made up of water cooling system with a kind of low activation ferrite, beryllium as neutron breeder, Li enriched LiTiO or LiO pebble as tritium breeding material. To evaluate the nuclear properties, we have carried out some DT neutronics experiments with TBM mock up assemblies in the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) and one of the TBM nuclear properties, the tritium production rate (TPR), in the LiTiO layer has been clarified by means of a liquid scintillation counter method with LiCO pellets or LiO pebbles.

A Tandetron Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) manufactured by High Voltage Engineering Europa in Netherlands had been set up at the Mutsu Office of Aomori Research and Development Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in 1997. This AMS is routinely measurements of the isotopic ratio of carbon (C/C) and iodine (I/I). Although the East Japan Earthquake occurred during Accelerator Tank maintenance in March 2011, AMS was fortunately safe. In this report, the summary of the current operational status at 2010-2011, the future plans and the problem are described.

Increase of the measurement of I/I isotope ratio in various environmental samples using accelerator mass spectrometer (JAEA-AMS-MUTSU) established by the Aomori Research and Development Center JAEA is expected for the purpose of investigating distribution of the iodine isotopes in environment with the release of radioactive materials by the Fukushima first Nuclear Power Plant accident. Background level of JAEA-AMS-MUTSU in iodine measurement was examined by measuring AgI crystal of iodargyrite. Approximately 11 counts per 60 minutes of the I background existed under the condition that there was not iodine in a sample. To reduce the memory effect in the measurement of the sample which has high isotope ratio, establishment of limit of the total counts was considered. The result of a measurement was hardly affected even if the limit of the total counts was made.
