We have been developing an Ultrasound Doppler Velocimetry technique (UDV), in order to apply thermo-hydraulic measurement in sodium. A feasibility study had been conducted to identify development subjects of sensor and signal processing. Thus, high temperature ultrasonic transducers were manufactured to use in water and sodium tests, which will be scheduled to optimize an algorism of signal processing and to improve the characteristic of the transducer. ln this report, we described the results of an experiment on the acoustic characteristic of transducer in water. The results are as follows : (1)The ultrasound beam profile of the transducer relating to the characteristic of velocity profile measurement using scattering ultrasound wave was obtained. The estimation of ultrasound beam profile in liquid and an ultrasound near-field region were introduced from these experimental data, (2)lt was confirmed that the frequency's spectrum of transducers are adequate for the design requirement of flow velocity range. The specifications of a transmitter and receiver for a transducer were identified, such as the amplitude gain for scattered ultrasound signal and the frequency resolution for Doppler sift signal. (3)The spatial resolution of the ultrasound beam was estimated to evaluate the accuracy of now profile measurement on UDV system.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is promoting research and development (R&D) related to fast reactors and nuclear fuel cycles as a contribution to carbon neutrality through the investigation of innovative technologies such as safety improvement. In order to maintain, develop, and provide the technological infrastructure for nuclear power plant innovation, that is the role of JAEA, an integrated evaluation method "ARKADIA" is under development to create innovative plant concepts and reform of the development process utilizing the wide range of knowledge cultivated through the development of fast reactors in JAEA. This presentation introduces the current status of development of sodium-cooled fast reactors and the ARKADIA-Design as a part of ARKADIA for design optimization support to address the R&Ds on thermal-hydraulics-related issues for design evaluation.
