Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors; JSME Series in Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation, Vol.3, 631 Pages, 2022/07
This book is a collection of the past experience of design, construction, and operation of two reactors, the latest knowledge and technology for SFR designs, and the future prospects of SFR development in Japan. It is intended to provide the perspective and the relevant knowledge to enable readers to become more familiar with SFR technology.

The electrical performance of a glass-type space solar sheet (G-SSS) was demonstrated in space. G-SSS comprises InGaP/GaAs dual-junction and InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs triplejunction solar cells. It is lightweight solar generation sheet, less than 0.5 mm thick. It is mounted on the "HISAKI" (SPRINT-A) small scientific satellite, which was launched on September 14, 2013. The initial flight data were successfully acquired and this flight demonstration was a world-first experiment for G-SSS using III-V multi-junction thin-film solar cells. The cells demonstrated superior performance and the electrical outputs matched the flight prediction.

Results of our study of effects of high-light-intensity and high-temperature conditions (HIHT) on the output performance of an InGaP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cell are described herein. The HIHT conditions are adjusted for spacecraft environments expected for a Venus mission (Planet-C) and a Mercury mission (MMO) to be undertaken by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Measurements of current-voltage characteristics under high light intensity for wide range of cell temperatures exhibit a kinked pattern at 0 current at +200
C. The thermal cycle test results for bare cells with a wide temperature range show no output performance degradation. Continuous operation tests of 3J cells under HIHT conditions reveal gradual current output degradation, implying that solar panel design should address decreased output specifically.

Probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) evaluation requires information on the probabilistic distributions of the number and size of initial defects, material properties such as crack growth rate due to fatigue and creep, and load to evaluate the failure probability of components. In this study, ultrasonic testing was conducted on the welds of the test equipment used in the research and development of fast reactors, and the number and size of defects were evaluated. The results could be used as conservative values of initial defects, and the values related to initial defects for PFM evaluation of FBR components were examined.

In this study, we attempted to fabricate Fe-based and W-based Fe-HEA and W-HEA, both of which have been studied extensively in recent years to enhance the durability of equipment used in high-energy beam irradiation environments. For Fe-based HEAs, Fe-Mn-Cr-V-Al-C alloys were melted and casted, and then subjected to homogenization heat treatment (homogenization heat treatment (1150C for 2h)). After homogenization heat treatment, a 3-point bending test was performed at room temperature. The homogenization heat treatment resulted in an increase in ductility in the 3-point bending test and a decrease in elastic modulus based on ultrasonic velocity measurements. XRD measurements of this material after heat treatment (800C for 10 min and Water Quenched) showed that it has a BCC structure and a Vickers hardness that exceeds that of pure W. On the other hand, in the preparation of W-based HEA material (W-Fe-Si-V-Cr alloy), an arc melting method using powder was attempted, and it was found that an almost homogeneous crystallized alloy could be produced.

We propose a rapid analysis method for Nd using triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) for quick burn-up measurement. In the conventional method, Nd-148 is used as burn-up indicator, and some complicated separation processes are required to eliminate isobaric interference from Sm. In this study, we demonstrate the discrimination of Nd/Sm using ICP-MS/MS with reaction gas for rapid Nd analysis.
