Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.03At CERN, gas-filled ionization chambers PTW-34031 (PMI) are commonly used in radiation fields including neutrons, protons and 
-rays. A response function for each particle is calculated by the radiation transport code FLUKA. To validate a response function to high energy neutrons, benchmark experiments with quasi mono-energetic neutrons have been carried out at RCNP, Osaka University. For neutron irradiation with energies below 200 MeV, very good agreement was found comparing the FLUKA simulations and the measurements. In addition it was found that at proton energies of 250 and 392 MeV, results calculated with neutron sources underestimate the experimental data due to a non-negligible gamma component originating from the target 
Li(p,n)Be reaction.

For hydrogen mitigation, a new type passive autocatalytic recombiner is under developing. This new recombiner has been developed from automotive monolithic catalyst in order to reduce weight and to improve hydrogen treating capacity, environmental resistance and product quality. In this study, activation energy of hydrogen-oxygen recombination reaction was examined to clarify the basic characteristics of the catalyst. In addition, the degradation of the catalyst by -ray irradiation simulating the environmental condition in nuclear power plants was also examined. As a result, the activation energy was experimentally estimated at 5.75 kJ/mol. Besides, no significant differences were observed in compositional distribution from the EPMA results. On the other hand, specific surface area of the catalyst and surface area of the precious metals were increased. Moreover, catalyst performance test showed that -ray irradiation up to 1.0 MGy can increase activity of catalyst.

In a severe accident at a nuclear power plant, a large amount of hydrogen can be released to primary containment vessel or reactor building. Passive autocatalytic recombiner (PAR) is one of the most effective systems for hydrogen mitigation and safety accident management. The new type PAR is under developing to improve conventional PARs, especially its size and weight. In this study, the influence of steam coexistence for the automotive catalyst activity was experimentally examined. These results show that the steam slightly affects the reaction start up and catalyst activity.

As a result, the activation energy was experimentally estimated at 5.75 kJ/mol. Besides, no significant differences were observed in the compositional distribution from the EPMA results between the non-irradiated and the irradiated catalyst. However, the irradiated catalyst showed much more activity because of larger specific surface area of the catalyst and surface area of the precious metals. It showed that -ray irradiation up to 1.0 MGy can increase activity of the catalyst.

Neutron energy spectra at 0 degree produced from stopping-length thick graphite, aluminum, iron and lead targets bombarded by 250 MeV and 350 MeV protons were measured at the neutron TOF course at RCNP of Osaka University. The neutron energy spectra were obtained by using the time-of-flight technique in the energy range from 10 MeV to incident proton energy. To compare the experimental results, Monte Carlo calculations by the PHITS and MCNPX codes using the JENDL-HE and the LA150 evaluated nuclear data files were performed. It was found that these calculated results at 0-degree generally underestimated the experimental results for all targets in the energy range above 20 MeV.

Neutrons were generated from a 10-mm thick Li target injected by 250, 350 and 392 MeV protons. The neutrons produced at 0 degree were extracted into the 100-m long TOF room through a 150-cm thick ironcollimator of 10 cm 
12 cm aperture, and were measured by a 12.7-cm diam. 12.7-cm long NE213 organic liquid scintillator. This neutron field is very useful since experimental data for high energy neutrons in this energy region are very scarce. It has already been used for a neutron shielding experiment.

Neutron energy spectra produced at the forward direction from thick graphite, aluminum, iron and lead targets bombarded by 250 MeV protons were measured by the TOF method at RCNP of Osaka University. The experimental data were compared with the calculated results of the PHITS, MCNPX codes. All calculations give lower neutron energy spectra than the experimental ones for all targets above 20 MeV and must be improved for neutron production at 0-degree. These experimental data will be useful as benchmark data for investigating the accuracy of the Monte Carlo simulation and for the shielding design of accelerator facilities.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：44.53(Instruments & Instrumentation)Neutron energy spectra produced from thick targets play an important role in validation of calculation codes that are employed in the design of spallation neutron sources and the shielding design of accelerator facilities. However, appropriate experimental data were scarce in the forward direction for the incident energy higher than 100 MeV. In this study, neutron spectra at 0 degree from thick targets bombarded with 350 MeV protons were measured by the time-of-flight technique using an NE213. The targets used were graphite, Al, Fe and Pb and their thicknesses were chosen to be a little thicker than the stopping lengths. The experiment was carried out at the TOF course of the RCNP (Research Center of Nuclear Physics) ring cyclotron, Osaka University. The flight path length between center of the target and of an NE213 were 11.4 m for the measurement of low energy neutrons and 95 m for high energy neutrons. The experimental data are compared with the calculated results by using the Monte Carlo transport codes, such as MCNPX and PHITS codes.
