The crystal has two boundaries at Ti compositions of 29.0 mol% and 34.7 mol% which correspond to the phase boundaries between the monoclinic B (MB) and C (MC) phases and between the MC and tetragonal (T) phases, respectively. It is shown that there is a strong negative correlation between the electrical response and the crystal coherence length at the sub-

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:16.44(Chemistry, Analytical)Technetium-99m (Tc) is used in radioactive medical diagonostic tests, for example as a radioactive tracer that medical equipment can detect in the human body. It is well suited to the role because it emits readily detectable 141 keV
rays, and its half-life is 6.01 hours (meaning that about 94% of it decays to technetium-99 in 24 hours). There are at least 31 commonly used radiopharmaceuticals based on technetium-99m for imaging and functional studies of the brain, myocardium, thyroid, lungs, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, skeleton, blood, and tumors. Recent years, with the develop-ment of the Compton camera which can realize high position resolution, technetium isotopes emitting high energy

rays around 800 keV was produced by the

Irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) is one of the critical concerns when stainless steel components have been in service in light water reactors (LWRs). It is considered that the reproduced IASCC by PIEs must be carefully distinguished from the actual IASCC in nuclear power plants, because the actual IASCC occurs in the core under simultaneous effects of radiation, stress and high temperature water environment. Hence, we have embarked on a development of the test technique for the in-pile IASCC testing. We adopted the uniaxial constant load (UCL) tensile test method with small tensile specimens for in-pile SCC initiation test, and tried to evaluate the crack initiation behavior as the detection of specimen rupture or detailed observation of surface of loaded specimens. As a result of this study, it was inferred that an acceleration effect of in-pile environment for SCC initiation behavior was not observed under the test condition of this study.

Irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) is a degradation phenomenon caused by synergy of neutron radiation, aqueous environment and stress on in-core materials, and it is an important issue in accordance with increase of aged light water reactors. Isolating crack initiation stage from crack growth stage is very useful for the evaluation of the IASCC behavior. Hence facility for in-situ observation during slow strain rate test (SSRT) for irradiated material was developed. As performance demonstrations of the facility, tensile test with in-situ observation and SSRT without observation were carried out using unirradiated type 304 stainless steel in 561 K water at 9 MPa. The following were confirmed from the results. (1) Handling, observation and recording of specimen can be operated using manipulators in the hot cell. (2) In-situ observation can be performed in pressurized high temperature water and flat sheet type specimen is suitable for the in-situ observation. (3) Test condition can be kept constantly and data can be obtained automatically for long test period.

We focus on the Au nanoparticle, which is fabricated by solution plasma method, as the adsorbent with high density and high efficiency of Cs in solution. To remove the Cs from the solution, we attempt two methods, which are the Cs adsorption on the Au nanoparticle surface and the interaction between the Cs and the L-cysteine on Au nanoparticle. Judging from the results of SR-XPS for the sample at the latter method, we suggest the interaction between the Cs and the COOH group of L-cysteine on Au nanoparticle.

The decontamination of radioactive Cs from the soil and the water has been required in Fukushima. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are attractive candidate for Cs adsorbent. AuNPs fabricated by solution plasma method is not covered by dispersant and is almost clean. It is known that L-cysteine rapidly adsorbs and exists with high density on the AuNPs surface. The electrostatic attractive force may be useful to induce interactions between -COO- of L-cysteine and Cs ion in aqueous solution. This study reveals the adsorption reaction between the Cs and the Cys/AuNP. Cys/AuNP has a peak and CsCl/Cys/AuNP has no peak in Na 1s spectra. Cys/AuNP has no peak and CsCl/Cys/AuNP has a peak for Cs 3
spectra. From these results, Na
on Cys/AuNP is replaced by Cs
after reaction in CsCl aqueous solution. Cys/AuNP and CsCl/Cys/AuNP have a O 1s peak, where the peak position of CsCl/Cys/AuNP is higher than that ofCys/AuNP. This indicates the further polarization of -COO- by replacing Na
by Cs

To recovery from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident, the removal of radioactive Cs from the soil and cooling water is important. An absorbent and a removal procedure of Cs are required to have properties of effective separation ability, recyclable and energy saving. Here, we focus on the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) fabricated by solution plasma method. The purpose of this study is to reveal the surface chemical states of the AuNPs fabricated by solution plasma method in CsCl aqueous solution. From the synchrotron light based analysis, it was found that the Cs-Cl-Au bondings form by the repeat of below two steps. (1) Cs and Cl atoms adsorb on AuNPs surface (Cs-Au and Cl-Au bondings). (2) Au atoms bonds around the AuNPs surface.

We present the performance results using this new ETCC such as the imaging test using F-18 in point-like and rod-like phantoms with varying the intense of radiation. In addition, the measurementof Tc-95m which is produced by Japan Atomic Energy Agency was performed. Tc-95m emitsthe -rays with the energy, 204, 583, and 835 keV, and then an image with multi-energies is examined. The position resolution achieves less than about 8 degrees from 10 degrees at 511 keV by this improvement. Further improvement of the angular resolution (position resolution) will be presented until 2015 spring. Also, we are developing the next ETCC by increasing the thickness of the scintillator from 1 rad. to 2 rad. and the gas pressure from 1 atm to 3 atm which improvethe detection efficiency by a factor of
5 at 511 keV. By these improvements, the imaging time of mouse is expected to be reduced from several hours with to
20 minutes for lots of kinds of RIs with the energy band from 0.1-2 MeV.

SPECT and PET are widely used for medical imaging. However, radio isotopes available for SPECT and PET are limited. Under these circumstances, it is expected the appearance of the new imaging detector which can measure more various kinds of
-ray sources in order to develop new biomarkers using new radio isotopes. We set out to contribute to medical imaging technology by developing Electron-Tracking Compton Camera (ETCC) which can measure the various radioactive medicine.

Irradiation Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking (IASCC) has been regarded in recent years as the matter that is related to the reliability for core components of LWRs. The in-pile IASCC initiation tests were performed using of uniaxial constant load specimens pre-irradiated to about 510

and 1

at JMTR under the simulated BWR core condition. From the results of in-pile and out-of-pile tests of the irradiated specimens, we confirmed that any remarkable acceleration effect of synergy of neutron/
radiation and stress/water environment on SCC initiation results was not observed under the test condition of this study. On the surface of in-pile test specimen, a micro crack was observed on the surface of specimen, and it was considered to be an initiation of SCC besed on the results of out-of-pile experiments.

We have developed the ETCC for new medical imaging device and succeeded in imaging the some medical imaging reagents. Thus, this detector is thought promising for a new medical imaging. The F-18 point-like and rod-like phantoms are measured with new ETCC, and the imaging performance was estimated. In addition, measurement of Tc-95m which is produced by Japan Atomic Energy Agency was performed.

In recent years, the Compton camera which is originally developed for the astrophysical studies was applied for medical diagnostic usage. For the Compton camera imaging require technetium isotopes emitting higher energy -rays. Two Tc isotopes,
Tc (T
= 60 d; E
= 204, 582 and 835 keV) and
Tc(T
= 4.28 d, E
= 778 and 812 keV) are candidates for Compton camera imaging. Compton camera imaging can realize high position resolution without collimator. Because of no collimator using, the Compton camera makes higher
-ray detection efficiency. Compared with SPECT with
Tc, the Compton camera imaging technique can be expected that radiation exposure deduce to 1/5-1/10. In this study, technetium-95m was produced by the
Mo(p,n)
Tc reaction.
