大強度陽子加速器施設(Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex; J-PARC)では、加速器駆動システム(Accelerator-Driven system; ADS)による核変換技術の実現に資する研究開発を行うため、核変換実験施設(Transmutation Experimental Facility; TEF)の建設を計画している。2つの施設で構成されるTEFの内、ADSターゲット試験施設(TEF-T)では、溶融鉛ビスマス合金(Lead-Bismuth Eutectic alloy; LBE)を核破砕ターゲットおよび冷却材として用いるターゲットシステムを導入して陽子ビームを照射することにより、照射環境下でのLBEとADS構造材料候補材との共存性等のADS特有の課題に関する研究開発を行う。冷却材としての側面から見たLBEは、他の液体金属冷却材と同様に伝熱特性に優れ、ナトリウムに比べ化学的活性が低く水や空気と接触した際に火災などの事故に繋がる危険性がない。一方、一般に広く用いられるステンレス鋼等の構造材料に対し腐食性を示す他に、TEF-Tターゲットでは最大500
Cに達する温度域で使用される等の理由から適応する計装や機器が限られる。このため、LBE用の機器について個別に研究開発や設計を進めてきた。LBEターゲットシステムの実現においては、これらの機器を統合して単体の大型装置として運用した際の機能や性能評価が重要である。本報告書では、LBEターゲットの一次冷却系および二次冷却系の実証試験の他、LBE用機器や計装の性能評価、遠隔によるメンテナンスを考慮した際の機器配置に関する課題抽出、さらに将来的にTEF-T施設で行う照射後試験に向けた非照射サンプルの供給を目的とした実規模試験ループである核破砕標的循環試験装置(Integrated Multi-functional MOckup for TEF-T Real-scale TArget Loop; IMMORTAL)の概要について報告する。

To realize the future Accelerator-driven systems (ADSs), an ADS Target Test Facility (TEF-T) will be constructed within the framework of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) project to carry out basic R&Ds. A LBE spallation target will be installed in the TEF-T facility and be bombarded by high power pulsed proton beams (250 kW, 400 MeV, 25 Hz, 0.5 ms in pulse duration). The beam window (BW) of the spallation target is critical because it should survive under severe conditions, i.e., high temperature, high irradiation, intense stress and various occurred damage. Therefore, the target vessel should be carefully designed to obtain enough safety margin. Our previous research indicated that there are stagnant flow region in LBE at the BW tip due to the symmetric configuration of target, which causes high temperature and stress concentration on the BW. To reduce/move the stagnant flow region from BW tip and to increase the target safety margin, on the basis of our previous work, three types of upgraded target head designs were performed steadily in the present study. The thermal-hydraulic analyses and structural analyses for the target head designs have been carried out numerically under a steady-state condition. Results illustrated that the designs can almost eliminate the stagnant flow region in LBE. As a consequence, the thermal stress concentration on BW has been released and greatly decreased. The safety margin of target has been improved through this study.

To solve basic technique issues for the accelerator-driven system (ADS), Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) will construct the ADS Target Test Facility (TEF-T) within the framework of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) project. A Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) spallation target with a Beam Window (BW) will be installed at TEF-T. LBE will be adopted as spallation material as well as coolant. For the TEF-T target, an annual channel was made between the outside LBE vessel and inner tube to flow the LBE. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses results showed that some stagnant regions exist at the center of BW and in the inner tube. Temperature in these regions are high and might deteriorate the soundness of target vessel. The purpose of this study is to optimize the LBE flow to decrease the temperature with the expectation that the safety margin of target can be improved in consequence. Efficient methods were developed to achieve this objective with minimizing the modification of target structure. Firstly, additional slits were made to flow LBE to reduce the stagnant region in the inner tube. Moreover, fin-type flow guides were added to reduce the stagnant region at the center of BW. As a result, the stagnant region in the inner tube was almost reduced and the stagnant region was moved away from the center of BW approximately 10 mm. Maximum temperature and thermal stress on the BW were consequently decreased.

被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：56.98(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)核破砕ターゲットモデル反転流部の鉛ビスマス流を超音波で測定した。鉛ビスマス流の測定はこれまでに報告がなく、それは濡れ性が悪いことが原因であることが今回の実験で明らかになった。モデルループは同軸二重管の環状流が反転して管状流に移行するため、流れ場の遷移が非定常となる。鉛ビスマスの駆動は電磁ポンプ,流量測定は電磁流量計で行った。測定の結果、陽子ビームが当たる窓部では流れが淀み、熱伝達特性に影響を及ぼす局所流れの様子がわかった。
