O
with different surface structures and investigated Mo-adsorption/Tc-elution properties using [Mo]MoO that was irradiated in the Kyoto University Research Reactor. AlO adsorbed [Mo]molybdate ions in solutions at different pH; the lower was the pH, the higher was the Mo-adsorption capacity of AlO. The Tc-elution properties of molybdate ion adsorbed AlO were elucidated by flowing saline. Consequently, it was suggested that Mo-adsorption/desorption properties are affected by the specific surface of AlO and Tc-elution properties are affected by the crystal structure of AlO.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：11.61(Physics, Multidisciplinary)An in-flight separator, BigRIPS, at RIBF in RIKEN provides each experiment with specific nuclides separated from many nuclides produced by projectile fragmentation or in-flight fission. In this process, nuclides other than separated ones are discarded on the slits in BigRIPS, although they include many nuclides interested from the view point of nuclear structure. In order to extract these nuclides for parasitic experiments, we are developing a method using laser ion-source (PALIS). A test experiment with 
Se beam from RIBF has been performed by using a gas cell set in BigRIPS. Unstable nuclides around 
Se were stopped in the gas cell in accordance with a calculation using LISE code. The stopping efficiency has been estimated to be about 30%. As a next step, we will establish the technique for extracting reaction products from the gas cell.

JAEA Library focuses on collecting conference proceedings and technical reports which are very important and referred materials for our users in the field of nuclear science and technology. There are an increasing number of cases that they are published in electronic media such as CD-ROM and flash memories. There are problems as to manage such electronic media in a library. Largest problems for electronic media would be the long-term preservation and permanent access. Lifetime of electronic media are much shorter compared with paper and/or microfilm. In this regard, the JAEA library is struggling to preserve electronic media including related PCs and software for a long-term. One of the effective countermeasure should be preserving PCs and software to browse, emulation and migration to another media. However, our countermeasure is not good enough for users and preservation. The authors would like to present JAEA Library's current activities on long term preservation and use of electronic media, and it comes to the conclusion the fact that even published electronic media are becoming grey literature in certain environment.

The research and development (R&D) on the production of Mo/Tc by (n,
) method has been carried out in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center. The Mo production by (n,) reaction is a simple and easy method, and it also is advantageous from viewpoints of nuclear proliferation resistance and waste management. However, it is difficult to produce the Tc solution with high radioactive concentration because the specific radioactivity of Mo by this method is extremely low. Up to now, various Mo absorbents such as Polyzirconium Compound (PZC) and Polytitanium Compound (PTC) have been developed with high Mo adsorption efficiency. It is necessary for utilization to the generator of these absorbents to evaluate the effect of elements containing these absorbents and to assure the quality of Tc solution. In this report, the status of R&D of the Mo adsorbents was investigated. The alumina as Mo adsorbent, which uses in medical Mo/Tc generator, was focused and Mo adsorption/desorption properties of three kinds of alumina was evaluated by different properties such as crystal structure and specific surface.

direction gradually aligned to the shear direction with an increase in the shear strain introduced by the high-pressure torsion process. The deformation texture suggested that the main slip system of the -phase was {11-20}0001. We experimentally observed the orientation relationships of the mechanically stabilized -phase with respect to the reverse-transformed -phase, and determined that the relationship was similar to that proposed by Silcock and Rabinkin.

The financial accounting and contract management system of JAEA, built on a commercial ERP package, had suffered from serious problems of high lifecycle cost, poor response, and lack of extensibility, due to the too much customization to the ERP package, and disorganized software structure. To solve those problems, three approaches were applied; (1) conducting thorough analysis of business flow and fit/gap, which enabled removing all customization brought to the ERP package; (2) dividing the system into subsystems, and clearly defining interfaces between the subsystems, which increases the transparency, extensibility and performance of the system; (3) outsourcing the development of the subsystems to multiple venders to reduce the development cost. Those approaches can be useful for developing business information systems using commercial software to save time and cost, while meeting the unique requirements of an organization.

Radionuclide sorbed onto the bentonite colloids is desorbed by addition of granite, indicating that the sorption of Cs and Am onto the bentonite colloids are reversible. The sorption model based on cation exchange and surface complexation reaction considering high edge site density for bentonite colloids is applicable to explain the sorption behavior of Am and Cs in the ternary system.

Recurrent breast cancer has been considered the application for boron neutron capture therapy using the JRR-4. The investigation of irradiation conditions for the recurrent breast cancer was performed by simulation with the JCDS. We performed the preliminary dosimetry of the model to verify the efficient irradiation conditions such as the neutron energy modes and multiple field technique. From the result, when the 30 Gy-Eq dose as minimum dose was delivered to the cancers, comparable dose distribution was delivered at the healthy tissues by both a one-port irradiation from anterior direction and a two-port irradiation from tangential direction. We revealed that the two-port irradiation was not valid to reduce the healthy tissues dose due to the isotopic scattering of neutrons in the body. We concluded that the optimal irradiation condition was the one-port irradiation with thermal neutron beam mode in terms of less healthy tissues dose and shorter irradiation time.

Improvements are required for expanding the pulse length of the JT-60 ECRF system (5s) for JT-60SA (100s). Newly developed power supplies will be fabricated and installed by EU. The conditioning operation of an improved gyrotron equipping a newly designed mode convertor has been started. The mode convertor will reduce heat flux on the internal components and therefore expected to enable long pulse operation at 1 MW. Pre-programmed and/or feedback control of the heater current and anode voltage, which was successfully demonstrated in JT-60U, will be key techniques because the beam current decreases during a shot. The evacuated transmission lines have a capability of 1 MW per line. Since maintenance of the components in the vacuum vessel is difficult, a linear motion antenna concept was proposed to reduce risks of water leakage and fault of the driving mechanism in the vacuum vessel. The detailed design and the low power test of a mock-up antenna have been started.

The volume reduction treatment of solid waste system by ultra-high frequency induction furnace (UHFIF) was developed from FY2005 to FY2007. Basic data for melting performance were collected by non-radioactive experiments using the bench scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 10 liters. Based on the obtained data, engineering specifications were evaluated for a demonstration scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 30 liters. A new demonstration scale UHFIF was constructed and melting experiments of surrogate wastes were carried out by this furnace. It was confirmed that the demonstration scale UHFIF can melt ferrous metal, ceramics and aluminum all together and stabilize aluminum by oxidation to alumina. Density, chemical composition, and surface condition of the solidified substances were analyzed, and homogeneity of the solidified substances was confirmed. Melting behavior in the demonstration scale UHFIF was analyzed by computer simulation and simulation results agreed well with the experimental ones. From the design study for a full scale UHFIF with a crucible capacity of 100 liters, basic specifications were evaluated for the full scale UHFIF. Based on the obtained specification, melting behavior in the full scale UHFIF was analyzed by computer simulation.

A high purity FeSi source avoided a contamination of Cu and W metals was synthesized by melting a high purity Fe (5N) and Si (5N-up) in a quartz ampoule. The -FeSi crystals grown using the high purity FeSi and Zn solvent showed n-type conduction, whereas those grown using the arc-melted FeSi showed p-type. From the SIMS analysis of the grown crystals, we found that dominant impurity concentrations in the p-type crystals were higher than those in the n-type ones.
