In the HTTR, Cf is loaded in the reactor core as a neutron startup source and changed at frequency. In this exchange work, there were two technical issues; slightly higher radiation exposure of workers by neutron leakage and reliability of neutron source transportation container in handling. To reduce the radiation dose by neutron leakage, detail numerical evaluations using PHITS code were carried out, the effective shielding method for fuel handling machine was proposed. Easily removable polyethylene blocks and particles were used as the neutron shielding, and installed in the cooling paths of the fuel handling machine. As a result, the collective effective dose by neutron was reduced from about 700 man-microSv to about 300 man-microSv. As to the neutron source transportation container, the handling performance was improved and the handling work was safety accomplished by downsizing.

Authors developed a radiotracer method for diffusion studies in solids. The experimental test was performed by the measurement of the diffusion coefficients of Li in a sample of the compound LiAl using an -emitting radiotracer of Li(T = 0.84 s). It was found that the time-dependent yields of the alpha particles from the diffusing 8Li that was initially implanted in the sample could be used as a measure of the diffusivity of the tracer in a nondestructive way. The method was applied to measure the self-diffusion coefficients of Li in LiGa, and for investigating how the Li diffusion in the Li ionic conductors is affected by the concentration of atomic defects.

The basic research on large electron linear accelerator is under current investigation at Quantum Technology Development Facility in O-arai Engineering Center, Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation. The result of this, the transmutation of fission products would be incorporated In the future demonstrative stage of the transmission of fission products, Nitrogen-13 and Oxygen-15 will be produced by the interaction between high energy bremsstrahlung and air during operation of the linac. The detection limits of conventional monitors are not sufficient for the limits of the concentration of Nitrogen-13 (610 Bq/cm) and Oxygen-15 (610 Bq/cm) in exhaust air. Therefore we have developed a new type of gas monitor detector that is packed with plastic scintillation fibers as the detection elements to detect the limits of concentration of Nitrogen-13 and Oxygen-15 in exhaust air. On designing the gas monitor detectors, the sensitivities of the detectors were simulated to optimize the shape and the volume of detector by using EGS4, the Monte-Carlo code for electrons and photons. Based on the results of the simulations, the detectors were composed and the characteristic examinations of sensitivities were carried out by using beta-ray checking sources and Krypton-85 gas. Main points are as follows : (1) The detection limit of the developed torus-type detector for Krypton-85 is 5.410 Bq/cm based on the results of the experiments. (2) The counting efficiency of a detector for Nitrogen-13 is 40 percent higher than the counting efficiency for Krypton-85 based on the results of simulations. This indicates that the detection limit of the detector for Nitrogen-13 is about 3.9 10 Bq/cm. (3) The beta-ray energy of Oxygen-15 is higher than the beta-ray energy of Nitrogen-13. This theoretically reaches the conclusion that the detection limit of the detector for Oxygen-15 is lower than the ...
