This report is a plan of research and development (R&D) on geosphere stability for long-term isolation of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) in Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), in fiscal year 2023. The objectives and contents in fiscal year 2023 are described in detail based on the JAEA 4th Medium- and Long-term Plan (fiscal years 2022-2028). In addition, the background of this research is described from the necessity and the significance for site investigation and safety assessment, and the past progress. The plan framework is structured into the following categories: (1) Development and systematization of investigation techniques, (2) Development of models for long-term estimation and effective assessment, (3) Development of dating techniques.

This paper introduces a new approach to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly and the muon electric dipole moment (EDM) at the J-PARC muon facility. The goal of our experiment is to measure and using an independent method with a factor of 10 lower muon momentum, and a factor of 20 smaller diameter storage-ring solenoid compared with previous and ongoing muon g-2 experiments with unprecedented quality of the storage magnetic field. Additional significant differences from the present experimental method include a factor of 1000 smaller transverse emittance of the muon beam (reaccelerated thermal muon beam), its efficient vertical injection into the solenoid, and tracking each decay positron from muon decay to obtain its momentum vector. The precision goal for is a statistical uncertainty of 450 parts per billion (ppb), similar to the present experimental uncertainty, and a systematic uncertainty less than 70 ppb. The goal for EDM is a sensitivity of ecm.

The 30 white neutron beam at RCNP facility has been characterized as a prove suitable for testing of single event effects (SEEs) in semiconductors in the neutron energy range from 1 to 300 MeV using the 392-MeV proton incident reaction on a 6.5-cm-thick tungsten target. The neutron spectrum in measurements were demonstrated to provide a neutron spectrum similar to the terrestrial one at sea level, but with an enhancement in the intensity of a factor of 1.510. The average neutron intensity and spectrum from 10 to 300 MeV at RCNP were almost same as those at WNR. The calculated RCNP neutron flux using PHITS generally agreed with the measured RCNP data within a factor of two. As the neutron density per pulse for RCNP is 500 times lower than that for WNR, the pileup probability of single-event transient currents and false multiple-bit upsets is reduced. Such conditions at RCNP are suitable for accelerated SEE testing to get meaningful results in realistic time frame.

KEKCB is an 18 GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source and is a charge breeder device for converting mass-separated 1 radioactive ions to multi-ionized ones by utilizing an axial injection technique to the ECR plasma. It is a part of the Tokai Radioactive Ion Accelerator Complex (TRIAC) facility. Based on the developments so far, converting efficiencies for metal elements, such as barium and indium, and for gaseous elements, such as krypton and xenon, are improved to be 7 and 2 , respectively. And it is confirmed that the efficiency is nearly the constant for short-lived (t 1 sec) isotopes. Background ions mixed in the output beams are supressed to be 600 pps from 10 pps by applying all aluminum electrodes and high pressure pure-water cleanings.

An ion beam has been widely applied to a variety of research fields of materials, space, and bio-sciences. Notable results, which were hard to obtain in applications of a ray and an electron beam, have been produced by the ion beam application. Ion beams interacting with matter have such superior properties as highly localized ionization and excitation, production of secondary particles, implantation of different atoms, and nuclear transmutation of constituent atoms. Skillful utilization of the ion beam properties makes remarkable progress in creation of new materials and precise investigation of matters. The ion beam irradiation research facility, TIARA, was established in 1993 at JAERI for extensive applications of ion beams. An accelerator complex provides light to heavy ion beams with a broad energy range from keV to GeV. Various ion beam technologies pioneering the ion beam applications have been developed at TIARA. In this paper, new applications of accelerated ion beams to material, space, and biological science and engineering carried out mainly at TIARA are reviewed.

A new project aiming for a breakthrough in biotechnology and materials science has been proposed at TIARA(Takasaki Ion Accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application) facilities of JAERI. Heavy ion beams with an energy of more than a hundred MeV/n will contribute to remarkable progress in breeding of plants and development of new materials. We have started designing a new superconducting AVF cyclotron with a bending limit of 900 and a focusing limit of 300. The cyclotron magnet is being designed to cope with acceleration of both the heavy ions and 300 MeV protons.
