R&D for rail deployment equipment was performed for the ITER blanket remote handling system. The target torque for the automatic operation was investigated. The result shows that the 20% of the rated torque is adequate as the torque limitation for the automatic operation. A schedule for the procurement of the blanket remote handling system, which will be delivered to the ITER in 2020, was also shown.

This paper presents results of R&D activities where the laser and TIG welding tools were developed to apply the blanket hydraulic connection. The target pipe is 48.26 mm in outer diameter and 2.77 mm-thick. A single path welding without filler materials is required to reduce the weld heat input related to re-weldability. For the laser welding, the focal spot diameter was expanded to increase allowable misalignment. The TIG welding tool was equipped with AVC (Arc Voltage Control) to avoid a torch sticking and to enlarge allowable misalignment. For each tool, the welding conditions were optimized for all position welding to horizontally located pipes. Obtained parameters such as the weld heat input, allowable misalignment, lifetime of the tools and amount of sputter and fume, were comparatively assessed.

The current design of the ITER blanket system is a modular configuration and a total of 440 blanket modules are to be installed in the ITER vacuum vessel. Each blanket module consists of the first wall (FW) and the shield block (SB). The FW receives a high heat load from the plasma. The SB shields components from the neutrons generated by the nuclear fusion reaction. The FW will be damaged by the heat load and neutrons, so it requires scheduled replacement. For the FW replacement, cutting/welding tools for the cooling pipes must be able to conduct the following operations: access and cut/weld the pipe from the inside of the cooling pipe. The cutting tool for the pipe end is required to cut flat plate circularly from the surface side of the FW. This paper describes the current status of R&D of the cutting tools for maintenance of the cooling pipe of the FW.

Modest spin states in neutron-rich $$^{187}$$W have been populated using a $$^{186}$$W($$^{18}$$O,$$^{17}$$O) one-neutron transfer reaction. While negative-parity bands previously known are extended to higher spin, two positive-parity bands are newly identified. Configurations based on $$nu$$ i$$_{13/2}$$ orbitals are assigned to these bands from an analysis of the level energy systematics as well as the g-factors derived from in-band branching ratios.

We have measured deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays for the first time in the neutron-rich nuclei of $$^{246}$$Pu$$_{152}$$ and $$^{245}$$Pu$$_{151}$$ produced by the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{16}$$O) and the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{17}$$O) reactions, respectively. The ground-state band of $$^{246}$$Pu was established up to 12$$^{+}$$ states. The systematics of the moments of inertia of $$_{94}$$Pu isotopes suggests that the $$N = 152$$ deformed subshell closure disappears in these isotopes. The measurements of deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays in $$^{245}$$Pu shows a small energy spacing between neutron orbitals at $$N = 152$$, which explans the disappearance of the subshell closure.

Excited states in neutron-rich $$^{185}$$Ta have been populated following the one-proton pickup reaction of $$^{186}$$W($$^{18}$$O,$$^{19}$$F). In-beam $$gamma$$ rays were measured in coincidence with scattered particles detected by a high-resolution $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ Si telescope for reaction channel selection. Several low-lying levels including a $$T_{1/2}=0.9(3)$$ $$mu$$s isomer at 406 keV have been identified. A spin assignment of $$I=3/2$$ and the 1/2$$^+$$[411] Nilsson configuration are given to the isomer in comparison with the level energy systematics and the isomer decay rates in the region.

In-beam $$gamma$$-ray study of the neutron-rich nuclei of $$^{240}$$U, $$^{246}$$Pu, and $$^{250}$$Cm produced by the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{16}$$O) reaction

We have measured deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays in the neutron-rich nuclei of $$^{240}$$U, $$^{246}$$Pu and $$^{250}$$Cm. These nuclei were produced by the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{16}$$O) two-neutron transfer reactions with a 200, 162 and 162 MeV $$^{18}$$O beams and a $$^{238}$$U, $$^{244}$$Pu and $$^{248}$$Cm targets, respectively, using the tandem accelerator at Tokai, Japan. The $$gamma$$ rays in residual nuclei were measured by taking coincidence with scattering particles using Si $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ detectors. We have identified $$gamma$$ rays in $$^{240}$$U, $$^{246}$$Pu and $$^{250}$$Cm by selecting the kinetic energies of $$^{16}$$O particles which correspond to the excitation energies in these nuclei below their neutron separation energies. The ground-state bands of $$^{240}$$U, $$^{246}$$Pu and $$^{250}$$Cm were established up to 12$$^{+}$$ states and the $$K^{pi}=0^{-}$$ octupole band of $$^{240}$$U was established up to 9$$^{-}$$ state. Because the deformations of these nuclei are well developed, the moments of inertia reflect the pairing gap, which is expected to be smaller, resulting in a larger moment of inertia, at the deformed shell closure. We have found that the moment of inertia of the ground-state band of $$^{248}$$Cm$$_{152}$$ is considerably larger than that of $$^{250}$$Cm$$_{154}$$. This fact supports the existence of the deformed subshell closure at $$N=152$$ in Cm isotopes. On the other hand, the moment of inertia of $$^{246}$$Pu$$_{152}$$ was found to be smaller than that of $$^{244}$$Pu$$_{150}$$, which suggests that the deformed subshell closure at $$N=152$$ weakens or disappears in Pu isotopes. These results are consistent with the prediction by a cranking model calculation.

Ground-state bands of neutron-rich $$^{236}$$Th and $$^{242}$$U nuclei and implication of spherical shell closure at $$N=164$$

The ground-state bands of the neutron-rich $$^{236}$$Th and $$^{242}$$U nuclei were established up to spin 10 and 8, respectively, by in-beam $$gamma$$-ray spectroscopy using the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{20}$$Ne) two-proton pickup reaction with a $$^{238}$$U and a $$^{244}$$Pu target. Deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays in $$^{236}$$Th and $$^{242}$$U were identified by selecting the kinetic energies of $$^{20}$$Ne using Si $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ detectors. The excitation energies of the first 2$$^{+}$$ states in U and Pu isotopes have local minima at $$N simeq 146$$, suggesting the possibility that nuclei with $$Z simeq 92$$ have a spherical shell closure of $$N=164$$. Calculation using the Koura-Yamada single-particle potential gives an energy gap of 1.8 MeV at $$N=164$$ for $$^{256}$$U.

Excited states in neutron-rich $$^{188}$$W have been populated using a $$^{186}$$W($$^{18}$$O,$$^{16}$$O) reaction. In-beam $$gamma$$ rays were measured in coincidence with scattered particles detected by a high-resolution $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ Si telescope. In this experiment, the ground state band has been identified up to $$I^pi=8^+$$. The $$gamma$$ band, the $$K^pi=2^-$$ octupole band, and a 2-quasiparticle state were also observed. The results are compared with predictions of self-consistent HFB cranking calculations and blocked-BCS multi-quasiparticle calculations.

The ground-state band of the neutron-rich transuranium nucleus $$^{250}$$Cm was established up to spin 12 by in-beam $$gamma$$-ray spectroscopy using the two-neutron-transfer reaction with a $$^{248}$$Cm target and a 162 MeV $$^{18}$$O beam. Deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays in $$^{250}$$Cm were identified by selecting the kinetic energies of $$^{16}$$O particles with Si $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ detectors. The moment of inertia of $$^{250}$$Cm$$_{154}$$ is considerably smaller than that of $$^{248}$$Cm$$_{152}$$, which supports the existence of the deformed subshell closure at $$N=152$$ in Cm isotopes.

In the two-neutron-transfer reaction of a 200-MeV $$^{18}$$O beam with a $$^{238}$$U target, deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays in a neutron-rich nucleus of $$^{240}$$U were measured. The $$gamma$$ rays in $$^{240}$$U were identified by taking coincidence with $$^{16}$$O, using Si $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ detectors. The kinetic energies of $$^{16}$$O particles allowed us to select the excitation energies of $$^{240}$$U below the neutron separation energy. The ground-state band and the $$K^{pi}=0^{-}$$ octupole band of $$^{240}$$U were established up to 12$$^{+}$$ and 9$$^{-}$$, respectively. The octupole-band head of $$^{240}$$U is higher than those of $$^{236,238}$$U by about a hundred keV, suggesting that a secondary maximum of octupole correlations exists at $$N=144-146$$ in U isotopes.

The ground-state bands of $$^{236}$$Th,$$^{240,242}$$U, $$^{246}$$Pu and $$^{250}$$Cm were established by measuring deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays. These nuclei were produced by the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{16}$$O) and ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{20}$$Ne) two-nucleon transfer reactions with $$^{238}$$U, $$^{244}$$Pu and $$^{248}$$Cm targets. The $$gamma$$ rays in residual nuclei were identified by taking coincidence with scattering particles using high-resolution Si $$Delta E$$-$$E$$ detectors. By extending the systematics of the 2$$_{1}^{+}$$ energies into neutron-rich nuclei, we have found that the $$N=152$$ deformed shell gap disappears at $$_{94}$$Pu isotopes and that U and Pu isotopes have the possibility of the spherical shell closure at $$N=164$$.
