The neutron instruments suite, installed at the spallation neutron source of the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), is reviewed. MLF has 23 neutron beam ports and 21 instruments are in operation for user programs or are under commissioning. A unique and challenging instrumental suite in MLF has been realized via combination of a high-performance neutron source, optimized for neutron scattering, and unique instruments using cutting-edge technologies. All instruments are/will serve in world-leading investigations in a broad range of fields, from fundamental physics to industrial applications. In this review, overviews, characteristic features, and typical applications of the individual instruments are mentioned.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：10.14(Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence)To meet the demands of an aging society, research on intelligent/robotic wheelchairs have been receiving a lot of attention. In elderly care facilities, care workers are required to communicate with the elderly in order to maintain both their mental and physical health. While this is regarded as important, having a conversation with someone on a wheelchair while pushing it from behind in a traditional setting would interfere with their smooth and natural conversation. So we are developing a robotic wheelchair system which allows companions and wheelchair users to move in a natural formation. This paper reports on an investigation to learn the patterns of human behavior when the wheelchair users and their companions communicate while walking together. The ethnographic observation reveals a natural formation of positioning for both companions and wheelchair users. Based on this investigation, we propose a multiple robotic wheelchair system which can maintain desirable formations for communication between wheelchairs.

Pu/
Pu ratio, 
Pu and Cs concentrations were determined. Sediments containing plutonium and Cs, which were fallout deposited immediately after a detonation of Nagasaki atomic bomb, were identified in the core. Observed below the sediments were macroscopic charcoals, providing evidence for initial deposit of the fallout. This is the first entire depositional records of plutonium and Cs released from the Nagasaki atomic bomb together with those from atmospheric nuclear tests.

According to the Long-Term Program for Partitioning and Transmutation which was published by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1988, study on the transmutation using an electron accelerator, which was a part of the program, has been carried out in the O-arai Engineering Center. It is the study on converting radioactive fission products for example Strontium and Cesium to stable nuclides by photonuclear reaction caused by high energy gamma-ray made by an electron accelerator. It was thought that a 100mA-100MeV (10MW output power) accelerator would be needed in order to carry out the transmutation study in engineering phase. Therefore, development of the High-Current Electron Accelerator whose target had been 20mA-10MeV (200 kW output power) accelerator was carried out as development of elemental technologies on beam stabilization. The conceptual design of the accelerator was started in 1989. In March 1997, the main facility of this accelerator was completed. The test operation was carried out to confiim the performance of the accelerator from January, 1999 to December. As the result, an output of about 14 kW was achieved. In addition, the electron beam of 40 kW could be to accelerate in short time. In this report, the design, fabrication and evalution of performance of the facilities are presented.

Design and construction of a high power CW (Continuous Wave) electron linac for studying feasibility of nuclear waste transmutation was started in l989 at PNC. The transmutation by photonuclear reaction using a electron accelerator has advantages of the small production for secondary radioactive waste and broad base of accelerator technology. The PNC accelerator (10 MeV, 20 mA average current, 20% duty) has been pre-commissioned. We have been very successful to produce 3 ms pulse width electron beam with 100 mA peak and energy about 2.9 MeV at present. The rest of the accelerating section was installed by March 1997. Studies are continued towards the designed goal of 100 mA beam with 4 msec pulse width and 50 Hz pulse repetition.

Depth profiles of concentration of Pu and Pu/Pu ratio in the cores collected from the center of the Nagasaki Bay were determined to find depositional records of plutonium released from Nagasaki atomic bomb and other nuclear tests. The ratio in sediment at the depth of about 50 cm was higher than that of the global stratospheric fallout, which might show that the plutonium has come from the nuclear tests carried out around the Marshall Islands. Deposition of plutonium from the Nagasaki atomic bomb will be also reported in the presentation.
