To estimate the prediction accuracy of the integrated burn up analysis code system SWAT4, we compared the calculation results of SWAT4 and the PIE data of the BWR fuel which was measured by JAERI in 1990s. Comparison results are indicated that the C/E value of major heavy nuclei, e.g., U and Pu, is approximately 1.0. The calculation results are also indicated that some fission products, e.g., Sm, have the larger difference.

Effect of halogenated gas on detritiation efficiency of the detritiation system has been investigated taking an event of off normal event such as fire into consideration. Concerning the activity of platinum catalyst for oxidation of tritium, we have evaluated the steep decrease in activity of platinum catalyst in the presence of halogenated gas. In order to avoid the steep decrease in activity, a noble catalyst alloyed with platinum and palladium showed an outstanding proof. In addition, the halogenated acid produced over catalyst surface affects the activity of catalyst. As for water absorber, a molecular sieve decreased its water absorbing capacity in the presence of halogenated gas.

To establish the nuclear transmutation system for the long-lived fission products (LLFPs), it is desired to improve precision of the simulation calculation for the transmutation system. To achieve this, nuclear data of various nuclei produced via the nuclear transmutation of LLFPs are also important. However, it is expected that unstable nuclei with no available experimental data are produced via the nuclear transmutation. One of the physical quantity that is very difficult to predict with no experimental data is the thermal neutron capture cross section. The thermal neutron capture cross section is dominated by the energy and width of the first resonance, and slight variation of them can change the thermal neutron capture cross section drastically. While it is very difficult to determine them with high precision, it is known that a resonance width follows Porter-Thomas distribution because of complexity and randomness of a nuclear structure, and a resonance spacing follows Wigner distribution. In this work, we calculate the thermal neutron capture cross section by using the statistical property of the resonance parameters with Monte Carlo method. The calculation result is obtained as a probability distribution of the thermal neutron capture cross section. We calculated approximately 250 nuclei that have experimental data, and found that the dispersion of the experimental data is well explained by the calculated probability distribution.

The new program "Development of active neutron NDA techniques" has been started for non-proliferation applications collaborating with EC-JRC. The final purpose of this program is to establish the measurement techniques for the high radioactive special nuclear material such as MA-Pu fuel for transmutation of minor actinide. In this program, JAEA will conduct the R&D on active neutron non-destructive measurement techniques, DDA, NRTA, PGA/NRCA and DGS. The research and development plan is presented in this report.

He-3 detectors are most popular for NDA systems of the active neutron method. However, the price of He-3 detectors is rising due to short supply of the He-3 gas, and it is concerned that the cost of fabricating a NDA system with many He-3 detectors is rising. A new hybrid detector called B-10 plus detector has been developed by GE Reuter-Stokes. The B-10 plus detector has higher detection efficiency than a B-10 detector while the usage of He-3 gas is reduced. We make a report on experimental results of performance comparison between He-3 detectors and B-10 plus detectors on the active neutron method.

In J-PARC/MLF/ANNRI facility, new data acquisition system is now on development conforming to neutron total cross-section measurement system development. As neutron total cross-section measurement can perform with neutron capturing cross-section measurement, unified data acquisition system for total and capturing cross-section measurement have great benefits to reduce both analyzing burden and programing bug. This presentation will report on the development of data acquisition system for Ge detectors system in ANNRI. This presentation is as part of nuclear system research and development project "R&D for accuracy improvement of neutron nuclear data on minor actinides".

JAEA is in charge of manufacturing a high heat flux (HHF) component, so-called "Outer vertical targets" in ITER divertor. The plasma facing units (PFUs) of the ITER divertor are subjected to HHF from plasma. The tungsten (W) armor tiles are metallurgically bonded onto cooling tubes made of copper alloy to achieve sufficient heat removal capability. Targets of R&D for full-W divertor are (1) to manufacture of full-scale PFU and (2) to demonstrate a durability of a heat removal capability. In the R&D through the manufacturing full-scale prototype PFU, JAEA demonstrated durability of heat removal capability of W armor tiles for HHF testing of 5000 
10 MW/m
and 1000 20 MW/m. After the HHF testing, gaps of about 0.5 mm between the W tiles decreased by about 
because the W tile was deformed by plastic strain. This paper reports deformation of shape on W surface in detail.

Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steel (RAFM) is the most promising candidate for the blanket structural material in DEMO fusion reactor. Void swelling behavior as well as mechanical properties change under high dose fusion neutron irradiation is very important issue on R&D of RAFM steels (F82H). The purposes of this study are to investigate the void swelling behavior with F82H IEA, Mod-3 and BA07 heats after multi-ion-irradiation and to confirm the peak swelling temperature. From results of microstructure observation for F82H Mod-3 and BA07 heats at 470
C by multi-ion beam irradiation, cavities are observed from 0.8 to 1.2
m (damage level 
20 dpa) from an irradiation surface at 470C irradiated specimen. On the other hand, few cavities are observed in same region at 400C irradiation. This result shows that a swelling peak temperature with F82H weldments by ion irradiation will be also around 470C.

Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steel, F82H, is the first candidate DEMO blanket structural material, and the preparation of high dose irradiation database is underway. 87 dpa irradiation was completed and post irradiation tensile tests were conducted at the irradiation temperature. The results of the tensile test and fractography on 300C irradiated specimens will be reported.
