被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Nuclear Science & Technology)The burning of minor actinide (MA) elements, such as neptunium (Np) and americium (Am), in fast reactors (FRs) has been proposed to reduce the volume of high-level radioactive waste. Evaluation of the transmutation behavior of Am for a wide spectral range from thermal to fast neutrons requires experimental validation based on the irradiation of Am targets with well-known isotopic compositions. Four samples each of two types of Am targets, Am-241 oxide and Am-243 oxide, were prepared and irradiated in the experimental fast reactor Joyo under fast neutron flux. Additionally, a ninth sample consisting of Am-241 oxide contained in a MgO pellet was prepared and irradiated in the JMTR under thermal neutron flux. All irradiated samples were analyzed by a radiochemical method. Indexes of the transmutation behavior such as the transmutation ratio, the ratio between burnup and accumulation of an actinide could be evaluated based on the analytical results.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We present a novel method for generating spin currents using the gyromagnetic effect, a phenomenon discovered over a century ago. This effect, crucial for understanding the origins of magnetism, enables the coupling between various macroscopic rotational motions and electron spins. While higher rotational speeds intensify the effect, conventional mechanical rotations, typically, below 10,000 RPM, produce negligible results comparable to geomagnetic fluctuations, limiting applied research. Our studies demonstrate that spin current generation comparable to that of rare metals can be achieved through atomic rotations induced by GHz- range surface acoustic waves and the rotational motion of conduction electrons in metallic thin films with nanoscale gradient modulation of electrical conductivity. These effects, termed the acoustic gyromagnetic effect and the current-vorticity gyromagnetic effect, are significant in different contexts.

-ray component on the dose distribution. Several parameter surveys were conducted with respect to the beam properties of neutron sources for boron neutron capture therapy assuming boronophenylalanine as the boron agent using our dose calculation tool, called SiDE. The ADs decreased by 3% at a thermal/epithermal ratio of 20% - 30% compared with the current recommendation of

. The fast neutron component was modified using two different models, namely, the "linear model," in which the fast neutron intensity decreases log-linearly with the increasing neutron energy, and the "moderator thickness (MT) model," in which the fast neutron component is varied by adjusting the moderator thickness in a virtual beam shaping assembly. Although a higher fast neutron component indicated a higher skin dose, the increment was 
at a fast neutron component of 
Gy cm
for both models. Furthermore, in the MT model, the epithermal neutron intensity was 
higher at a fast neutron component of 
Gy cm compared with the current recommendation of 
Gy cm. The -ray component also caused no significant disadvantages up to several times larger compared with the current recommendation.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Multidisciplinary Sciences)We are conducting research focused on elucidating the crystallographic structure of Japanese swords in a non-destructive manner using the neutron imaging instrument RADEN at J-PARC. In this study, we developed an analysis method that combines wavelength-resolved Bragg-edge imaging and a wavelength-selective neutron tomography with a new strategy, and applied it to an approximately 45 cm long Japanese sword signed by Bishu Osafune Norimitsu. Computed tomography was performed, and the analysis succeeded in clearly capturing the characteristic internal structure "Kobuse". Kobuse is most famous steel combining structure of Japanese swords, where a center steel with low carbon content is covered by an outer steel with high carbon content. The crystallite size distribution obtained through Bragg-edge analysis was able to explain without contradiction from the layered structure of two steels observed in neutron tomograms. Our non-destructive imaging also revealed that the quenching was quite deep, forming a wavy pattern more than 5 mm away from the cutting edge.

We investigated the internal crystallographic structures of Japanese swords using a nondestructive analysis method that combines neutron Bragg-edge transmission (BET) imaging and neutron tomography. BET provides insights into the crystalline structure of the steel, while the neutron tomography offers cross-sectional views of the sword. To systematically explore and understand the technical and historical transition of Japanese sword-making methods, it is important to analyze the internal crystalline structure of various swords, taking into account factors such as production period, region, and swordsmith. Our study examined three swords: Kashu Kiyomitsu, Nankaitaro Tomotaka, and Hosokawa Masanori. The results reveal distinct differences in the internal structures of these swords. This innovative nondestructive approach allowed us to gain detailed insights into the microstructures of these historical artifacts without causing any damage.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Instruments & Instrumentation)Radioactive aqueous and organic liquid wastes contaminated by U and radioactive materials have been generated through solvent extraction experiments on nuclear fuel materials. Although incineration and denitrification / conversion processes are promising for treatment of such liquid wastes, installation of large equipment is essential. Treatment of liquid wastes generated from the reprocessing experiments is one of important tasks of Systematic Treatments of RAdioactive liquid wastes for Decommissioning (STRAD) project, and the recovery technologies of nuclear materials from the spent solvent has been developed. However, recovery of trace amounts of nuclear fuel material from aqueous solutions with wide pH range is still a challenging task. In our previous study, the porous silica particles with a high specific surface area bearing the iminodiacetic acid (IDA) functional group were revealed to be applicable to recover cations. Although the IDA group introduced adsorbents showed an excellent adsorption reaction from the aqueous solution, further improvement related to the adsorption amount is indispensable for application to the radioactive liquid treatment. In this study, fluorous ligands with IDA group were newly synthesized, and its complexation behavior with cations was investigated in order to understand the adsorption mechanism.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0.00(Chemistry, Physical)Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements were performed for deuterated and non-deuterated poly(ethylene glycol) (d-PEG and h-PEG, respectively) in D
O and a DO/HO mixed solvent (Mix) to compere the scattering profiles. To determine the coherent scattering intensity of SANS, a He spin filter was utilized. The scattering profiles determined by SANS measurements were analyzed in terms of the wormlike chain model with touched beads along the contour of the chain. However, the SAXS profiles were not explained by the same model with uniform beads but with beads each consisting of a core and a shell having different electron densities. To explore the chain thickness determined form the SANS profile, scattering intensities for different combinations of d-PEG/DO, d-PEG/Mix, h-PEG/DO, and h-PEG/Mix were also examined.

-Mn-type family alloys Mn
have three-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) corner-shared triangular network. The antiferromagnet MnRhSi shows magnetic short-range order (SRO) over a wide temperature range of approximately 500 K above the N
el temperature 
= 190 K. MnCoSi has the smallest lattice parameter and the lowest in the family compounds. The quantum critical point (QCP) from AFM to the quantum paramagnetic state is expected near a cubic lattice parameter of 6.15 
of MnCoSi is only 140 K, quantum critical behavior is observed in MnCoSi as the enhancement of the electronic specific heat coefficient . We study how the magnetic SRO appears in MnCoSi by using neutron scattering, 
SR, and physical property measurements. The experimental results show that the neutron scattering intensity of the magnetic SRO does not change much regardless of the suppressed magnetic moment in the long-range magnetic ordered state compared to those of MnRhSi. The initial asymmetry drop ratio of SR above becomes small, and the magnetic SRO temperature 
is suppressed to 240 K. The results suggest that the MnCoSi is close to the QCP in the Mn system.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：49.11(Nuclear Science & Technology)Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the effect of bicarbonate solution on the hyperstoichiometric UO surface oxide of UO pellets. The hyperstoichiometry causes distortion of the UO lattice, leading to the formation of defect peaks which arise in the Raman spectrum due to a loss of symmetry. By deconvolution of the defect peaks, the extent of oxygen inclusion and defect formation in the surface oxide as a function of bicarbonate concentration was investigated. Immersion in solution caused a reduction in the amount of interstitial oxygen due to dissolution U(V) and U(VI) in the UO oxide surface. The defect concentration increased upon immersion due to the formation of an equilibrium between dissolution and reprecipitation. The bicarbonate concentration affected the defect content which was attributed to different forms of U in solution (hydrolysed UO
and UO(CO
)
) leading to different rates of reduction and precipitation.

Spectral data of Bragg-edge imaging, which is one of the energy-resolved neutron imaging methods, can be analyzed by single-edge analysis and full-pattern analysis with the Bragg-edge analysis code RITS developed by Sato et al. This program has a function to generate neutron transmission data considering wavelength-dependent pulse-shape function, atomic number density, crystalline structure, etc., and to extract these parameters from the measured data by the nonlinear least-squares fitting. Last year, we worked on updating the operating environment of the platform Scientific Linux 6 and the language Python 2, which have been discontinued, to Windows 10 and Python 3, and added some functions to improve usability. GUI-RITS for the windows platform has been released to users. In this presentation, we will show concrete examples of the results of the analysis of the same data by the old and new programs, and compare the efficiency of data analysis.
