On the 147cycle operation, the water leakage was found at the pressure instrumentation pipe which is attached to the exit pipe of No.1 charge pump of the purification system of primary cooling system at JMTR in the Oarai establishment, JAERI. Then JMTR was shutted down manually on December 10th. It was predicted that the crack on the pressure instrumentation pipe was initiated and propagated by the cyclic load which was caused by the charge pump. Therefore, vibration and stress analyses of pressure instrumentation pipe were performed. From the vibration analysis, the natural frequency of the pressure instrumentation pipe of No.1 charge pump is between 53
58Hz, which is close to the resonance frequency of 50Hz. From the stress analysis results, total stress generated on the pressure instrumentation pipe is 112.2MPa at the natural frequency of 53Hz and 74.2Mpa at 58Hz. It was found that the stress of 112.2MPa is close to the fatigue limit of used materials.

On December 10, 2002, the water leakage was found at the pressure instrumentation pipe attached to the exit pipe of No.1 charging pump of the purification system of a primary cooling system at JMTR, and the cracks were detected on the pressure instrumentation pipe by the visual observation. The Investigation Committee for Water Leakage from Instrumentation Pipe in JMTR was established and organized by specialists from inside and outside JAERI on December 16. In order to investigate the cause of crack initiation at the pressure instrumentation pipe, the Working Group was organized in the Department of JMTR. Visual inspection, fractgraphy test, metallographic observation and hardness test for the pressure instrumentation pipe and its weldment were carried out in the JMTR Hot Laboratory. This report summarized above data obtained by investigation on the cause of the crack initiation.

D-T neutron irradiation experiments have been performed with F82H and ODS ferritic steels and the effective cross sections for 
Co productions in those materials via the sequential reactions were measured. The effective cross sections for F82H and ODS ferritic steels were about 1.5 times larger than that for iron. The distributions of effective cross sections were measured for 6 materials (iron, copper, vanadium, titanium, tungsten and lead) and F82H. The sequential reaction rates in the region close to hydrogen compound became over 20 times larger than that in material itself. In the case of F82H, the increase ratio was about 50. It was indicated that the activity for the sequential reaction product Co will reach to 3-10 
of that for primary neutron reaction product 
Mn aound the surface of a cooling pipe in a fusion reactor. The effective cross sections were estimated by using (n,xp), (p,n) reaction cross sections, proton emission spectra, proton stopping power in the material. The estimated values were compared with experimental results.
