Japan Atomic Energy Agency is developing an innovative design system named ARKADIA to achieve the design of an advanced nuclear reactor as a safe, economic, and sustainable carbon-free energy source. In the first phase of its development, ARKADIA-Design for design study and ARKADIA-Safety for safety assessment will be developed individually. In this paper, focusing on the ARKADIA-Design, the concept of the system is described and numerical analysis codes to be used for the multi-level and multi-physics analyses are introduced. Descriptions of the practical functions composed by the analysis codes and the representative problems in application studies for validation are introduced.

This paper reviews the current situations in radiation protection of the ocular lens and the discussions on the potential impact of the new lens dose limit in Japan. Topics include historical changes to the lens dose limit, the current situations in occupational lens exposures (e.g., in medical workers, nuclear workers, and Fukushima nuclear power plant workers) and measurements, and the current status of biological studies and epidemiological studies on radiation cataracts. Our focus is on the situations in Japan, but we believe such information sharing will be useful in many other countries.

In a mixed field of photon and beta radiations, the same dose assigned to skin is normally assigned to the dose to the lens of the eye as a conservative estimate of H
(3). In exceptional cases that a very high beta dose might be imparted of the same order with the dose limit, however, the conservatively biased dose must be too limiting, and thereby an accurate estimate of beta (3) is desirable. This article presents a practical proposal of when and how the dosimetry of beta (3) should be made.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：64.63(Chemistry, Analytical)A new technique for continuous dissolution of nuclear reaction products transported by a gas-jet system was developed for superheavy element (SHE) chemistry. In this technique, a hydrophobic membrane is utilized to separate an aqueous phase from the gas phase. With this technique, the dissolution efficiencies of short-lived radionuclides of 
Mo and 
W were measured. Yields of more than 80% were observed for short-lived radionuclides at aqueous-phase flow rates of 0.1-0.4 mL/s. The gas flow-rate had no influence on the dissolution efficiency within the studied flow range of 1.0-2.0 L/min. These results show that this technique is applicable for on-line chemical studies of SHEs in the liquid phase.

directions were formed on the striped structure at Ge coverage between 3 and 6 monolayers. However, when a single monolayer of Ge was deposited on the Si(110)-162 surface, single-domain of 162 striped structure disappeared, and a new double-domain striped structure was formed over the surface along directions that differed from the 1 1 2 directions. This structure represents a new Si-Ge striped structure that forms by the mixing of Ge and Si due to high temperature annealing. These results indicate that the surface structure changes specifically with trace amounts of Ge.

A brief review is given of the history and methodology of external dosimetry for the lens of the eye. Under the 1989 revision to domestic radiological protection regulations, the concept on the effective dose equivalent and the dose limit to the lens of the eye (150 mSv/y) both introduced in ICRP 1977 recommendations has changed nationwide the external monitoring methodology in non-uniform exposure situations to the trunk of a radiological worker. In such situations, often created by the presence of a protective apron, the worker is required to use at least two personal dosemeters, one worn on the trunk under the apron and the other, typically, at the collar over the apron. The latter dosemeter serves the dual purpose of providing the dose profile across the trunk for improved effective dose equivalent assessment and of estimating the dose to lens of the eye. The greater or appropriate value between (10) and (0.07), given by the dosemeter, is generally used as a surrogate of (3).

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：31.93(Crystallography)We have focused on stress measurements of the reconstructed Si(111) 77 and the H-terminated Si(111) 11 surfaces. In order to obtain information on both the surface stress and the surface structure simultaneously, we have combined the surface-curvature and the reflection-high-electron-energy-diffraction instrumentations in an identical ultrahigh vacuum system. At the beginning of Ge wetting layer growth on H-terminated Si(111), the stress gradient drastically changes accompanied by change in the surface structure resulting from the H desorption. Comparison of the surface stress behaviors between Ge wetting layer growth on the H-terminated Si(111) 11 and the Si(111) 77 surfaces reveals that the Si(111) 11 surface releases 1.6 N/m (=J/m
), or (1.3 eV/(11 unit cell)), of the surface energy from the strong tensile Si(111) 77 reconstruction.

For a small amount of Ge deposited on Si(110)-162 single-domain structure at room temperature, the surface structure did not change significantly. After direct current heating at 973 K for 20 min, the striped structure almost broken and disordered-like structure was formed on the terrace. With increasing the annealing time, the surface structure changed from disordered-like structure to the 162 double-domain structure and pyramidal nano clusters were formed at the domain boundary. These results suggest that the surface stress was induced by Ge nano cluster formation and the double-domain structure was formed in order to relax the stress.

However, the controlled nanostructure using this surface has not been fabricated yet. In this study, we have investigated the adsorption of C on the Si(110)-162 surface at various surface temperatures, and found that the C preferable adsorption site is remarkably changed, depending on the surface temperature. The obtained results indicate the possibility that the organic 1-D nanostructure can be fabricated on the Si(110)-162 surface by controlling the surface temperature.

The Si(110) surface has a quite unique one-dimensional (1-D) structure with 162 reconstruction. Since the perfectly straight rows extend over micrometers, the 162 structure can be a superior template for 1-D nanostructures. In this study, we tried to control the clustering of Ge atoms on the Si(110) - 162 substrate. When Ge is deposited at 523 K, clustering of Ge atoms is found. The size of the cluster was 1
2 nm and many of them were located in a step edges. This trend is previously reported by vicinal Si(111) surface. With increasing temperature, the sizes of Ge clusters became larger. These results indicated that the size and alignment of the Ge cluster can be well controlled on the Si(110) - 162 template surface.

On the Ge(110)-162 surface where surface diffusion of C was activated at room temperature such that it was aligned along the step edge, the formation of one-dimensional order of C molecules was achieved. In contrast, on the Si(110)-162 surface, the substantial reactivity of the surface limited the diffusion of adsorbed C, resulting in random adsorption at room temperature.
