Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.02(Instruments & Instrumentation)The number of nuclear facilities being decommissioned has been increasing worldwide, in particular following the accident of the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings' Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in 2011. In these nuclear facilities, proper management of radioactive materials is required. Then, A -ray spectrometer with four segmentations using small volume CeBr
scintillators with a dimension of 
was developed. The four scintillators were coupled to a multi-anode photomultiplier tube specific to intense radiation fields. We performed the -ray exposure study under Cs and Co radiation fields. Under the Cs radiation field, the relative energy resolution at 1375 mSv/h was the relative energy resolution at 1375 mSv/h was 9.2
0.05%, 8.00.08%, 8.0
0.03%, and 9.00.04% for the four channels, respectively.

Times Cited Count：11 Percentile：89.29(Instruments & Instrumentation)An increasing number of nuclear facilities have been decommissioned worldwide following the 2011 accident of the TEPCO' Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. During the decommissioning, radioactive materials have to be retrieved under proper management. In this study, a small cubic CeBr spectrometer with dimensions of 5 mm 
5 mm 5 mm was manufactured to perform -ray spectroscopy under intense -ray fields. Furthermore, thanks to a fast digital process unit and a customized photomultiplier, the device could perform -ray spectroscopy at dose rates of over 1 Sv/h. The energy resolution (FWHM) at 662 keV ranged from 4.4% at 22 mSv/h to 5.2% at 1407 mSv/h for a Cs radiation field. Correspondingly, at 1333 keV, it ranged from 3.1% at 26 mSv/h to 4.2% at 2221 mSv/h for a Co radiation field, which suggested to realize -ray assessment of 
Cs, Cs, Co, and 
Eu at dose rates of over 1 Sv/h.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：49.7(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.

Times Cited Count：23 Percentile：82.36(Nuclear Science & Technology)Particle confinement processes were studied in detail on LHD. Diffusion coefficients (D) and convection velocities (V) were estimated from density modulation experiments. The magnetic configuration and collisionality were widely scanned in order to investigate parameter dependences of D and V. In order to study the effect of the magnetic configuration, magnetic axis positions (R
) were scanned from 3.5 m to 3.9 m. This scan changed the magnetic ripples quite significantly, enabling the effects of neoclassical properties on measured values to be widely elucidated. Dependences of electron temperature (T
) and helically trapped normalized collsionality (
), where =1 indicates a rough boundary between the 1/ and plateau regimes, were examined using the heating power scan of neutral beam injection (NBI). It was found out that generally larger (or smaller) contributions of neoclassical transport resulted in more hollow (or peaked) density profiles. The larger neoclassical contribution was found to be situated at a more outwardly shifted R for the same T, and higher T or lower at each R. However, it is to be noted that R=3.5 m showed different characteristics from these trends in that this case showed a more peaked density profile at higher T.

"The third technological meeting of Tokai Reprocessing plant (TRP)" was held in JNFL Rokkasyo site on March 14
, 2001. The technical meetings have been held in the past two times. The first one was about the present status and future plan of the TRP and second one was about safety evaluation work on the TRP. At this time, the meeting focussed on the corrosion experrience, in-service inspection technology and future maintenance plan. The report contains the proceedings, transparancies and questionnaires of the meeting are contained.

In order to establish the conversion technology development test regarding MOX powder handling during transportation when high burn-up plutonium is used, temperature measurement on the canister in a transportation cask and powder property analysis were performed. As a result of the test, effective guideline of anticipated temperature on the canister could be obtained.

The retrieval of the nuclear fuel debris, which is the substance including melted nuclear fuel and structural materials, will be started from fiscal 2021. Then, as a non-destructive analysis technology of the nuclear fuel debris, a -ray spectroscopy system is being developed to measure high energy rays due to Eu and nuclear reactions under high dose rate, which was composed of a CeBr cubic, photomultiplier tube, and fast signal processing unit. This presentation reports that the exposure study of the detector system was performed for a 
Co field at the dose rates of up to 750 mSv/h, and the detector response was investigated at each dose rate.

The retrieval of nuclear fuel debris will be started at Tokyo Electrical Power Company Holdings' Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Because of high dose-rate fields on the surface of nuclear fuel debris and these inhomogeneous elements, non-destructive analysis is required during the retrieval. Here, it is presented that a -ray spectrometry system specific to high dose-rate fields was developed and its performance under intense -ray fields was evaluated for the retrieval of nuclear fuel debris.
