The incinerator adopted to incineration room, Plutonium Waste Treatment Facility had been demonstrated since 2002 for developing technologies to reduce the volume of fire-resistant wastes such as vinyl chloride (represented by Polyvinyl chloride bags) and rubber gloves for Radio Isotope among radioactive solid wastes generated by the production of mixed oxide fuels. The incinerator, cooling tower, and processing pipes were replaced with a suspension period from 2018 to 2022, which fireproof materials on the inner wall of the incinerator was cracked and grown caused by hydrogen chloride generated when disposing of fire-resistant wastes. This facility consists of the waste feed process, the incineration process, the waste gas treatment process, and the ash removal process. We replaced the cooling tower in the waste gas treatment process from March 2020 to March 2021, and the incinerator in the incineration process from January 2021 to February 2022. In addition, samples were collected from the incinerator and the cooling tower during the removing and dismantling of the replaced devices, observed by Scanning Electron Microscope and X-ray microanalyzer, and analyzed by X-ray diffraction to investigate the corrosion and deterioration of them. This report describes the method of setting up the green house, the procedure for replacing them, and the results from analysis in corrosion and deterioration of the cooling tower and incinerator.

Radioactive solid wastes generated by Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station disaster may contain high levels of salt from the tsunami and seawater deliberately released into the area. It is assumed that polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products may be used for decommissioning work and for containment of radioactive wastes in the future. Among the method of handling them, incineration is one method that needs to be investigated as it is good method for reduction and stabilization of wastes. But in order to dispose of Trans-Uranic (TRU) solid waste containing chlorides, it is necessary to select the structure and materials of the facility based on the information such as the movement of nuclides and chlorides in the waste gas treating system and the corrosion of equipment due to chlorides. Therefore, we decided to get various data necessary to design a study of the incineration facilities. And we decided to examine the transfer behavior of chlorides to the waste gas treatment system, the corrosion-resistance of materials in the incineration facilities, and the distribution survey of plutonium in them obtained using the Plutonium-contaminated Waste Treatment Facility (PWTF), Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories, which is a unique incinerating facility in Japan. This report describes the transfer behavior of chlorides in the waste gas treatment system, the evaluation of corrosion-resistance materials and the distribution survey of plutonium in the incineration facilities obtained by these tests using the Plutonium-contaminated Waste Treatment Facility, Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories.

As an indicator of wettability, the contact angle between a selective laser melting (SLM) baseplate and the molten Ti was measured by synchrotron X-rays at 30 keV during laser irradiation. As the baseplate temperature increased, the contact angle decreased, down to 28 degrees at a baseplate temperature of 500
C. Based on this result, the influence of wettability of a Ti plate fabricated by SLM in a vacuum was investigated. It was revealed that the improvement of wettability by preheating suppressed sputtering generation, and a surface having a small surface roughness was fabricated by SLM in a vacuum.

Times Cited Count：17 Percentile：80.39(Biochemical Research Methods)A neutron crystallographic analysis of phosphate-free bovine pancreatic RNase A has been carried out at 1.7 resolution using the BIX-4 single-crystal diffractometer at the JRR-3 reactor of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The high resolution structural model allowed us to determine that His12 acts mainly as a general base in the catalytic process of RNase A. Numerous other distinctive structural features such as the hydrogen positions of methyl groups, hydroxyl groups, prolines, asparagines and glutamines were also determined at 1.7 resolution. The protonation and deprotonation states of all of the charged amino-acid residues allowed us to provide a definitive description of the hydrogen-bonding network around the active site and the H atoms of the key His48 residue. Differences in hydrogen-bond strengths for the 
-helices and 
-sheets were inferred from determination of the hydrogen-bond lengths and the H/D-exchange ratios of the backbone amide H atoms. The correlation between the B factors and hydrogen-bond lengths of the hydration water molecules was also determined.

This paper describes a new structure of horizontally polarized shear(SH) wave electromagnetic acoustic transducer(EMAT). The EMAT with a Halbach magnet structure shows a stronger magnetic flux density as well as ultrasonic sound pressure than that of an EMAT with a general periodic permanent magnet(PPM) structure. The measured magnetic flux density and the ultrasound directivity distributions for both the Halbach and the PPM structure EMATs are in excellent agreement with those expected form a simulation calculation. The above EMATs were also used for inspection tests of many artificial slits; and it is found that the Halbach one performs a better detectability than the PPM one.

Times Cited Count：13 Percentile：60.62(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We report on the results of angle-resolved photoemission experiments on a quasi-one-dimensional -chain compound [Ni(chxn)Br]Br (chxn = 1
,2-cyclohexanediamine), a one-dimensional Heisenberg system with 
and 
K, which shows a gigantic non-linear optical effect. A "band" having about 500meV energy dispersion is found in the first half of the Brillouin zone 
, but disappears at 
. Two dispersive features, expected from the spin-charge separation, as have been observed in other quasi-one-dimensional systems like SrCuO
, are not detected. These characteristic features are well reproduced by the - chain model calculations with a small charge-transfer energy 
compared with that of one-dimensional Cu-O based compounds. We propose that this smaller is the origin of the absence of clear spin- and charge-seperation in the photoemission spectra and strong non-linear optical effect in [Ni(chxn)Br]Br.

Since graphite is porous material containing 20% of porosity, the characteristics of graphite strongly depends on shape and volume distribution of pore. It is essential to establish the production method for further reducing the characteristic variation of graphite to produce high quality graphite. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the simple method for prediction of the characteristics of graphite. Although they have been characterized as a function of porosity, it is necessary to characterize them as a function of some detailed factors in order to further reduce the characteristic variation and to characterize them with high accuracy. The authors have been developing the method for predicting the characteristics of graphite by analysis of shape and volume distribution of open pore and closed pore using two and three dimensional images in order to characterize graphite with high accuracy. In the present study, quantity of open pore and closed pore analyzed by a digital image analysis was compared with that measured by a mercury porosimeter. Both results indicated that open pore increased with increasing porosity and closed pore showed almost constant value. However, the volume of closed pore by the mercury porosimeter was measured up to 5% larger than that by the digital image analysis. It is necessary to clarify the correlation between the volume of closed pore analyzed by the digital image analysis and that measured by the mercury porosimeter to measure closed pore with high accuracy by the mercury porosimeter in the next step.
