Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:29.26(Chemistry, Physical)Ni silicide synthesis by Ni ion beam irradiation into Si attracts attention due to its advantages including the ability of formation of local structures, the controllability of ion beams, the formability of silicide without heat treatment and the high reproducibility of the resulting specimen. In this work, we investigate the local atomic structure of Si implanted with 3.0 MeV Ni ions. Analysis of Ni K-edge fluorescent-yield extended X-ray absorption fine structure reveals that Ni atoms have mixed structure of metallic-like face-centered cubic Ni and NiSi phases at the initial stage of the irradiation and the formation of NiSi promotes significantly with the ion fluence above 10 ions cm. With consideration of the agreement between the ion fluence threshold for the structural transition and the critical Si-amorphization fluence, it is concluded that the amorphization of Si plays an important role in the synthesis of the NiSi phase in Ni-irradiated Si.

The disposal of radioactive waste from the research facility need to calculate from the radioactivity concentration that based on variously nuclear fuels and materials. In Japan Atomic Energy Agency Oarai Research and Development Institute, the study on considering disposal is being advanced among the facilities which generate radioactive waste as well as the facilities which process radioactive waste. This report summarizes a study result in FY2020 about the evaluation method to determine the radioactivity concentration in radioactive waste on Oarai Research and Development Institute.

In addition, the potential is discussed for the simplification of structural integrity evaluation of multiple cracked piping. The integrity of the asymmetry multiple circumferential notched stainless steel pipes subjected to combined axial tension and bending can be evaluated conservatively using the theoretical plastic collapse strength for the pipe with multiple notches calculated based on the elastic-perfectly plastic model.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:44.16(Nuclear Science & Technology)Progress of antenna development of the Electron Cyclotron Range of Frequency system for JT-60 SA is presented. Capability of pulse length of 100 s, which requires active cooling for mirrors, and flexibility of beam injection angles in both poloidal and toroidal directions are required for the antenna with high reliability. Mechanical and structural design works of the launcher (antenna and its support with steering structure) based on a linear motion antenna concept are in progress. The key component is a long-stroke bellows which enables to alter poloidal injection angle and a bellows which enables to alter toroidal injection angle. Using a newly fabricated mock-up of the steering structure, it was confirmed that the antenna was mechanically realized for poloidal and toroidal injection angle ranges of -10 to +45 and -15 to +15, respectively. Those angles are consistent with angles required in JT-60SA. The results of thermal and structural analyses are also presented.

Times Cited Count:19 Percentile:62.29(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)A new gyrotron operation technique to increase oscillation efficiency was developed on the JT 60 ECRF system. The electron pitch factor was optimized by controlling anode voltage within 0.1 s after the start of the operation. By applying this technique, the gyrotron output power of 1.5 MW for 4 s was recorded, for the first time. The reduced collector heat load at 1.5 MW operations was reduced by 20% and it will be acceptable for longer pulse operation. A new gyrotron with an improved mode converter was developed in order to demonstrate reduction of the stray radiation which had limited the pulse length. The stray radiation was reduced to 1/3 of that of the original gyrotron. A conditioning operation of the improved gyrotron is proceeding up to 31 s at 1 MW. These progresses significantly contribute to enhancing the high power and long pulse capability of the ECRF system toward JT 60SA.

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.

Electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive (CD) are key tools to control fusion plasma especially for effective electron heating and for suppression of neoclassical tearing mode (NTM). Recently, developments of a high power gyrotron and a power modulation technique have been successfully achieved on JT-60U ECRF system in order to enhance the system performance. Stable gyrotron oscillation with oscillation power of 1.5 MW for 1 s was demonstrated in 2007, for the first time. Then temperature rise of cavity and collector has been investigated. It has been shown that the longer pulse operation with 1.5 MW by an improved 110 GHz gyrotron is possible. In addition, modulated ECCD in synchronized with NTM rotation has been performed with the oscillation power of 0.8 MW and the frequency around 5 kHz. The synchronizing system has worked very well and it has played an essential role in NTM suppression experiments on JT-60U.

It is the world highest power oscillation 1 s. In addition to the carefully designed cavity and collector in view of thermal stress, an RF shield for the adjustment bellows, and a low-dielectric-loss DC break enabled this achievement. Power modulation technique by anode voltage control was improved to obtain high modulation frequency and 5 kHz has been achieved for NTM stabilizing experiments. Long pulse demonstration of 0.4 MW, 30 s injection to the plasma has been achieved with real time control of anode/cathode-heater. It has been confirmed that the temperature of cooled components were saturated and no evidence of damage were found. An innovative antenna having wide range of beam steering capability with linearly-moving-mirror concept has been designed for long pulse. Beam profile and mechanical strength analyses shows the feasibility of the antenna.
