Times Cited Count：20 Percentile：90.27(Nuclear Science & Technology)The pre-licensing design of an HTGR cogeneration test plant to be coupled to JAEA's existing test reactor HTTR is presented. The plant is designed to demonstrate the system of JAEA commercial plant design GTHTR300C. With construction planned to be completed around 2025, the test plant is expected to be the first-of-a-kind nuclear system operating on two of the advanced energy conversion systems attractive for the HTGR closed cycle helium gas turbine for power generation and thermochemical iodine-sulfur water-splitting process for hydrogen production.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：17.1(Spectroscopy)We report the soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission study for LaNiGe to reveal the electronic structures derived from non-4
bands of the heavy fermion compound CeNiGe. The photoemission spectra recorded at the La M
absorption edges clearly show the enhancement of the La 5
components in the valence band spectra. The circular dichroism of photoemission spectra reveals the band-dependent dichroic response due to the orbital symmetry.

using soft-X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SX-ARPES). Our results provide direct evidence of an insulator-to-metal transition that occurs upon increasing the dimensionality of the IrO-plane structure. This transition occurs when the spin-orbit-coupled 
= 1/2 band changes its behavior in the dispersion relation and moves across the Fermi energy. By scanning the photon energy over 350 eV, we reveal the 3D Fermi surface in SrIrO
and 
-dependent oscillations of photoelectron intensity in SrIrO
. To corroborate the physics deduced using low-energy ARPES studies, we propose to utilize SX-ARPES as a powerful complementary technique, as this method surveys more than one whole Brillouin zone and provides a panoramic view of electronic structures.

Pre-licensing basic design for a cogenerating HTGR test plant system is presented. The plant to be coupled to existing 30 MWt 950
C test reactor HTTR is intended as a system technology demonstrator for GTHTR300C plant design. More specifically the test plant of HTTR-GT/H aims to (1)demonstrate the licensability of the GTHTR300C for electricity production by gas turbine and hydrogen cogeneration by thermochemical process and (2) confirm the operation control and safety of such cogeneration system. With construction and operation completion by 2025, the test plant is expected to be the first of a kind HTGR-powered cogeneration plant operating on the two advanced energy conversion systems of closed cycle helium gas turbine for power generation and thermochemical iodine-sulfur water-splitting process for hydrogen production.

In this study, accident analyses of high-power density HTGRs adopting SiC-matrixed fuel compacts and feasibility study were conducted. Specifically, for the feasibility study, rapid depressurization accidents were analyzed using the two-dimensional unsteady heat transfer analysis code for safety evaluation of HTGRs. As a result of the rapid depressurization accident analyses, the fuel temperature and RPV temperature distributions in the HTGRs with high-power density were clarified, and it was confirmed that the maximum fuel temperature does not exceed 1400C. In other words, even if a rapid depressurization accident occurs, the high-power density HTGRs adopting SiC-matrixed fuel compacts will be able to have excellent passive safety features.
