The present study proposed a relative evaluation methodology for the demarcation of applicable laws and design standards for the nuclear hydrogen production system and applied it to the HTTR Heat Application Test Facility. The evaluation results showed that a candidate applying the High Pressure Gas Safety Act to the Heat Application Test Facility (hydrogen production plant) and design standards established under the High Pressure Gas Safety Act to the steam reformer did not show the lowest category in any of the metrics, and was proposed as the most superior demarcation option for the HTTR Heat Application Test Facility.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:65.74(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)The study of muon-induced soft errors in terrestrial settings remains underexplored even though the incidence of muon-induced soft errors tends to increas. In this study, we conducted positive and negative muon irradiation experiments on four types of 12-nm FinFET SRAMs. At the momentum where the SEU cross section peaks, 2-fin cells exhibit larger SEU cross sections than 1-fin cells for negative muons. Conversely, for positive muons, the SEU cross section is larger in 1-fin cells than in 2-fin cells due to the increased diffusion capacitance in 2-fin cells. We also performed the Monte Carlo simulations. The results suggest that a single sensitive volume with the same critical charge value cannot consistently reproduce the SEU cross sections for both types of muons.

We have conducted the conceptual design of the IH-DTL with the permanent-magnet quadrupole (PMQ) focusing for the medical radioisotope (RI) production. For At-211 production, a helium beam should be accelerated over 7.25 MeV/u. The lattice of the PMQs inside IH-DTL was designed as FFOODDOO so that the gradient of PMQ was lower. The cell parameters were also designed from the periodical structure of the PMQ lattice and the commercial semiconductor RF power supply specifications. After designing the cell parameters, we evaluated the beam dynamics with the space-charge effect by 2D/3D design of cavity and beam tracking. With 2D design of three DTL tanks, the helium beam is accelerated over 7.25 MeV/u with over 90% transmission. 3D design of the first tank cavity was also conducted. After the geometry of cavity was optimized with the ridge tuner and cavity taper, the transmission was over 95% with 3D cavity model of the first tank.

The muon linear accelerator is under development at J-PARC for precise measurement of muon anomalous mag-netic moment and electric dipole moment. Four 2592 MHz disk-loaded structures (DLSs) operating in the TM01-2
/3 mode take charge of the acceleration of high-velocity muon from 70% to 94% of the speed of light. They have disk-iris apertures tapered to generate a quasi-constant gradient of 20 MV/m. Gradual variation in disk space at each cell is one of the structural features of the DLS for muon to synchronize the accelerating phase with the changing speed of muon. Therefore, the dimensions of both end cells are significantly different. Two prototypes of RF couplers and two 9-cell reference cavities with shapes of the end cells of the DLS at the first stage have been fabricated and tested. We validate our design RF parameters and establish a method for tuning the DLS in this paper.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:25.59(Environmental Sciences)Interlaboratory comparison studies are important for radiation dosimetry in order to demonstrate how the technique is universally available. The set of standard samples are examined in each participating laboratory in the present study. After a set of standard samples together with the samples with unknown doses, which were prepared in the same laboratory as the standard samples, are measured at a participating laboratory, those samples are sent to another participating laboratory for next measurement. There is some small difference observed in the sensitivity (the slope of the dose response line) of the standard samples while the differences in the obtained doses for the samples with unknown doses are rather systematic, implying that the difference is mostly due to the samples but not to measurements.

Monolayer graphene, representative of atomically thin crystals, has recently shown unexpectedly high proton and deuteron permeability under ambient conditions. It also permeates (filters) hydrogen (deuterium) isotope ion with high selectivity. These results suggest possible ways of developing novel and efficient hydrogen isotope gas enrichment techniques for manufacturing silicon semiconductors, optical fibers, drug development, nuclear fusion, and other related applications. And yet, despite its importance, experimental studies remain scarce and the separation mechanism contentious. Here, we introduce our recent findings on how quantum tunneling of hydrons through graphene could account for the high hydron selectivity of graphene.

-ray spectroscopy of the exotic neon isotope
Ne has been performed using the one-neutron removal reaction from
Ne. Based on an analysis of parallel momentum distributions, a level scheme with spin-parity assignments has been constructed for
Ne and the negative-parity states are identified for the first time. The measured partial cross sections and momentum distributions reveal a significant intruder p-wave strength providing evidence of the breakdown of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell gaps. Only a weak, possible f-wave strength was observed to bound final states. Large-scale shell-model calculations with different effective interactions do not reproduce the large p-wave and small f-wave strength observed experimentally, indicating an ongoing challenge for a complete theoretical description of the transition into the island of inversion along the Ne isotopic chain.

Ca an indication for a transition was observed at 1115(34) keV. Both transitions were tentatively assigned as the
decays. A shell-model calculation in a wide model space with a marginally modified effective nucleon-nucleon interaction depicts excellent agreement with experiment for
level energies, two-neutron separation energies, and reaction cross sections, corroborating the formation of a new nuclear shell above the N = 34 shell. Its constituents, the

Ca and potentially drives the dripline of Ca isotopes to
Ca or even beyond.

The safety design philosophy is developed for the HTTR (High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor) heat application test facility connecting high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) and the hydrogen production plant. The philosophy was proposed to apply proven conventional chemical plant standards to the hydrogen production facility for ensuring public safety against anticipated disasters caused by high pressure and combustible gases. The present study also proposed the safety design philosophy to meet specific safety requirements identified to the nuclear facilities with coupling to the hydrogen production facility such as measures to ensure a capability of normal operation of the nuclear facility against a fire and/or explosion of leaked combustible material, and fluctuation of amount of heat removal occurred in the hydrogen production plant. The safety design philosophy will be utilized to establish its basic and detailed designs of the HTTR-heat application test facility.
