This report describes the study done by the author as a postdoctoral research associate at Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute. This report is divided into three parts: construction of a relativistic band calculation formalism based on the density functional theory, using this method, investigation of the electrical properties for ferromagnetic UGe
and antiferromagnetic UO. (1)A relativistic band calculation (RBC) method. Band calculations for the s, p, and d electric structure have been developed well in the practical application and theoretical study. But band calculation method treating magnetic 5f electrons as actinide compounds are complicated and needed relativistic approach, so it is behind with the study of the 5f system. In this study we construct the relativistic band calculationformalism valid for magnetic 5f electrons. (2)Electric properties of UGe. The actinide compounds UGe is ferromagnetic, so the theoretical analysis is not well yet. The electric structure and fermi surface of UGe are analyzed using the RBC. The theoretical results show that UGe is heavy electron with the 5f character and are agreement with experimental one. (3)Electric structure of nuclear fuel UO. It is important to understand the mechanism of the thermal conductivity of nuclear fuel as antiferromagnetic UO. The UO band calculation reflecting the thermal properties, into account of relativistic effect, have not done yes. So using the RBC the detailed electric structure of UO are obtained.

This report describes the study done within the period of time when I was postdoctoral research worker at Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute. The report includes two parts as follows. (1) Exact Solution of Electric Transitions for High Energy photons. Technologies for creating high-energy 
beams have been rapidly developed. These advancements make the research using high-energy -rays more important. The electric transition rates for high-energy -rays were formulated. The electric multipole fields were treated strictly in the process of calculating the electric transition rates and the nuclear states were taken as the harmonic oscillator wave functions. (2) Production of the isomeric state of 
Cs in the thermal neutron capture reaction 
Cs(n, )Cs. In order to obtain precise data of the neutron capture cross section of the reaction Cs(n, )Cs, the production probability of isomer state 
Cs was measured in this work. The 1436 keV -ray emitted from both of 
Cs and Cs was measured. A production ratio of Cs to (Cs and Cs) was deduced from time dependence of peak counts of 1436keV -ray. The probability of the production of CS was obtained as 0.75
0.18 and this value revised the effective cross section upwards 92%. The effective cross section 
and the thermal neutron capture cross section 
were obtained as =0.290.02 b and =0.270.03 b with taking into account the production of 
Cs.

This paper presents a study on knowledge dependency of plant operator behavior. The ultimate purpose of this study is to establish a methodology to support human operators in forming an integral understanding (i.e., mental model) of target plants, and thus to enhance potential performance in unexpected situations and in non routine cognitive tasks. The authors conducted a series of experiments to acquire behavioral data of two plant anomalies not included in the training curriculum. A formulation methodology of operator protocols has been proposed from the observations of the acquired behavioral data. It has been concluded that engaged plant operators have sufficient knowledge about physical phenomena of the major components, and that possible improvements of operators' cognitive performance can be expected mainly by knowledge enhancement about utilization strategy of physical information.
