Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Nuclear Science & Technology)The d+Be neutron source is a candidate for transportable neutron source for on-site nondestructive inspection of infrastructure facilities such as bridges, tunnels and so on. The applicability of the d+Be neutron source to a transportable fast neutron source is explored by Monte Carlo particle transport simulations with PHITS and JENDL-5. The simulation results show that by increasing the shielding thickness by about 1.5 times, it is possible to realize the d+Be neutron source with the comparable performance to another candidate, the 2.5-MeV p+Li neutron source, at lower beam energy.

In the case of estimating erosion rates of ground surfaces from measurement of beryllium-10 and aluminum-26, quartz contained in rocks and sediments is used as a measurement sample. In this paper, we present an example of separating quartz using a cell handler, which is a cell separation system, without chemical treatment using hydrofluoric acid. By optimizing the way to apply light to the mineral sample with the cell handler and the exposure time of the camera of the cell handler, quartz and other minerals, such as feldspar, were able to be distinguished from other minerals, such as feldspar in image recognition. An experimental measurement using rock samples was then performed under these conditions. As a result, only quartz was successfully separated through a fully automatized process by that distinguishes and picks quartz using the image recognition software and picking system built into the cell handler.

Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) has been contributing to various research and development activities such as the fundamental research of nuclear materials/fuels, safety research and development of power reactors, and radioisotope production since the beginning of the operation in 1968. JMTR, however, was decided as a one of decommission facilities in April 2017 and it is taken an inspection of a plan concerning decommissioning because the performance of JMTR does not confirm with the stipulated earthquake resistance. As aluminum and beryllium are used for the core structural materials in JMTR, it is necessary to establish treatment methods of these materials for the fabrication of stable wastes. In addition, a treatment method for the accumulated spent ion-exchange resins needs to be examined. This report describes the overview of these examination situations.

Times Cited Count：16 Percentile：76.03(Nuclear Science & Technology)Advanced neutron multipliers with high stability at high temperatures are desired for the pebble bed blankets of DEMO reactors. Beryllium intermetallic compounds (beryllides) are the most promising material for this purpose. To fabricate the beryllide pebbles, a new granulation process has been established that combines a plasma sintering method for beryllide synthesis and a rotating electrode method using a plasma-sintered electrode for granulation. In granulation examinations, prototypic pebbles 1 mm in diameter of Be-V beryllide as well as Be-Ti beryllide were successfully fabricated. This study performed not only granulation of binary beryllides but also its characterization of the hydrogen generation reaction with water vapor compared with those of pure Be pebbles.

Especially in light nuclei such as Be, Li, and C, nuclear reactions are complicated and difficult to estimate energy spectra of emitted particles based only on theoretical calculations Therefore development of a new technique for precise measurements of DDXc is quite important. Recently we successfully developed a new spectrometer for measurement of DDXc using a pencil-beam DT neutron source of FNS in JAERI. In the present study we carried out measurements of DDXc of 
Be, 
C, 
F, and 
Al using the spectrometer. The present technique was valid from the result of measurement for the Al(n,x
) reactions. Slight differences appeared between measured data and evaluation or previous experimental values for Be(n,x) reactions at backward scattering angle and in lower energy region.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：34.47(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)In this paper, an elemental technology to fabricate beryllide rods by the vacuum casting was researched. Furnace material study to prevent the chemical reaction with beryllide and casting procedure study to cast durable ingot without any shrinkages and cracks were performed. From the results of the reactivity test of refractory material with BeTi, it was clear that the BeO crucible had less reactivity with melt and no contamination. From the results of casting tests with a MgO cylindrical mold in a vacuum chamber, it was revealed that the mold dimension was critical to minimize shrinkages and cracks. It was also found that the forced cooling by the MgO cylindrical sleeve with water-cooled copper mold on the bottom was efficient to improve the shrinkages and the cracks.
