Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Environmental Sciences)We have been conducting dose assessments for Japanese macaques captured in Fukushima to reveal radiobiological effects on the low-dose expose animals. To accurately determine the external exposure dose, it is desirable to examine the analysis of the CO
radical intensity. We examined ESR spectra of teeth of 10 macaques captured in Fukushima by two spectrum-decomposition algorithms.

The balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant activity, which is a defense mechanism against oxidative stress, was investigated in the liver and bladder of wild Japanese macaques captured in Fukushima Prefecture. No significant induction of oxidative stress by exposure to environmental radionuclides after the Fukushima nuclear accident was observed, suggesting that the stress defense mechanism of the organism is activated in some organs.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：85.28(Agriculture, Dairy & Animal Science)We have established an archive system of livestock and wild animals from the surrounding ex-evacuation zone. Wildlife within the alert zone have been exposed to low-dose-rate (LDR) radiation for a long and continuous time. In this study, we analysed the morphological characteristics of the testes and in vitro fertilization (IVF) capacity of cryopreserved sperm of raccoons from the ex-evacuation zone of the FDNPP accident. This study revealed that the chronic and LDR radiation exposure associated with the FDNPP accident had no adverse effect on the reproductive characteristics and functions of male raccoons.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：52.06(Nuclear Science & Technology)The relationship between the CO
radical intensity and the absorbed dose (dose response curve) of tooth enamel of Japanese macaque was observed by electron spin resonance and the detection limit of our system was estimated to be 33.5 mGy, which is comparable to the detection limit for human molar teeth. Using the dose response curve, external exposure dose for seven wild Japanese macaques captured in Fukushima prefecture were examined. The results suggest that the external exposure dose for the wild Japanese macaques were ranged between 45 mGy to 300 mGy.

In the oxygen depleted underground environment, carbon steel reacts with HO, producing H gas and forming corrosion film on the steel surface. Corrosion rate is controlled by diffusion of reaction species through corrosion film. Diffusion constants of some species working in the corrosion process were obtained from literatures. However, no data were found on the diffusion constant of HO in iron oxides based on an appropriate assumption. Mass transfer model for the corrosion rate was used to simulate the corrosion rate of carbon steel. Liquid phase diffusion model of Fe
or HO through pores in the corrosion film and solid phase diffusion model of HO through corrosion film itself were examined by Excel simulation. Change in corrosion current density and corrosion loss with time and pH and temperature dependence of corrosion current density were examined. By comparing the results, it is suggested that the solid phase diffusion of HO in the corrosion film controls the corrosion rate of carbon steel in oxygen depleted environment.

We have developed a self-consistent integrated modelling of core and SOL/divertor transport. Thereby it enables us to investigate operation scenarios to be compatible with high confinement core plasma and detached divertor plasmas. To integrate a 1.5D core code (TOPICS-IB and TASK) and a 2D divertor code (SONIC), we introduce a new Multiple Program Multiple Data parallel computing system. For an integrated code including Monte-Carlo calculations, this system makes it possible to perform efficient simulations. The predictive simulation studies are carried out for JT-60SA with the integrated code (TOPICS-IB/SONIC) and the characteristics of the divertor heat load after the H-mode transition is clarified. We also discuss about the temporal behavior of divertor characteristics after an ELM crash.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：23.40(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The plasma flow in the scrape-off layer (SOL) plays an important role for the control of heat and particle including impurity in magnetic fusion reactors. SOL flow patterns have recently been studied by the particle simulations, and the effects of finite-orbit-size of ions are found to be essential for the flow-pattern formation. Based on these simulation results, a new model of the edge plasma flow is developed by introducing the "ion-orbit-induced flow" to the fluid equations. A tokamak plasma is divided into three regions; core region, transition layer and SOL region. The "ion-orbit-induced flow" is modeled by separating untrapped part and trapped part, and by taking account the collision effect and poloidal distribution. The "ion-orbit-induced flow" becomes large at the edge region.

Times Cited Count：24 Percentile：65.71(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Plasma flow in the SOL plays an important role for the particle control in magnetic fusion reactors. To study SOL flow patterns, we perform simulations with a full particle code, PARASOL. For upper-null divertor configuration with ion 
drift away from the null point, the flow is directed to inner and outer plates. The stagnation point is located symmetrically at the bottom. On the other hand for lower-null case with ion drift toward the null point, the flow in outer SOL region has a backward flow pattern. The stagnation point moves below the mid-plane of outer SOL. These simulation results are very similar to experiment. Simulations are carried out by changing the aspect ratio 
and by artificially cutting the electric field. It is found that the banana motion of trapped ions is important for the formation of flow pattern in addition to the self-consistent electric field. Trapped-ion effects can be stronger than electric-field effects for standard tokamaks with

Micro-indentation technique was applied to evaluate the mechanical properties of corroded surface layers of Ni-alloy, 316SS, Ti and Ta, which were exposed into the corrosive gaseous environment consisting of HI+I+HO+H. The corrosion condition was chosen so as to simulate one of the environments in the thermochemical hydrogen production, IS process, where the degradation due to the corrosion attack by HI and the hydrogen embrittlement is a key issue from the viewpoint of material integrity. The micro-indentation tests using a spherical indenter and the inverse analysis with Kalman filter were performed to quantitatively estimate material constants of corroded surface layer. Ni-alloy exhibited good corrosion resistance and Ta was remarkably influenced by the hydrogen embrittlement.
