In a high-level radioactive waste disposal, it is important to understand the extent of the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) because it can be one of the factors to determine whether disposal galleries or pits can be excavated or not in the design or construction phases. In this study, we performed a hydro-mechanical coupling analysis to simulate the three-dimensional excavation of the twin galleries which were excavated at a depth of 500 m in the Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory. The analysis revealed that the EDZ was developed 1.5-2.0 m from the gallery wall. The stress acting on the shotcrete was within the ultimate limit state. Based on these results, we estimated that the stability of the twin galleries will be maintained, despite the relatively large extent of the EDZ.

In sodium-cooled fast reactors, a natural circulation is expected to remove the core decay heat when the plant gets into a station blackout. From a perspective of reactor safety, the core hot spot temperature arising in the natural circulation should be evaluated accurately. To this end, Japan Atomic Energy Agency is trying to couple a 1-D plant dynamics analysis code Super-COPD and a 3-D CFD code AQUA to solve the thermal-hydraulic field in the whole plant under natural circulation condition. As a validation study, the coupled code was applied to an analysis of EBR-II shutdown heat removal test. The obtained numerical results reasonably agreed with the measured data, which demonstrated the validity of the coupled code.

Times Cited Count：37 Percentile：74.26(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)This paper presents the results of bispectral analysis of floating potential fluctuations in the edge region of ohmically heated plasmas in the JFT-2M tokamak. Inside of the outermost magnetic surface,coherent modes were observed around the frequency of geodesic acoustic mode which is a kind of the zonal flow. The squared bicoherence shows significant nonlinear couplings between the coherent fluctuations and the background fluctuations (which are likely to contain drift wave turbulent fluctuations). The experimental results that the total bicoherence is proportional to the squared amplitude of the coherent fluctuation, and that the biphase of the coherent modes localizes around a constant value 
, are consistent with the theoretical prediction on the drift wave - zonal flow systems based on the Hasegawa-Mima model.
