The most distinctive feature of the superconducting magnet system for JT-60SA is the optimized coil structure in terms of the space utilization as well as the highly accurate coil manufacturing, thus meeting the requirements for the steady-state tokamak research: A conceptually new outer inter-coil structure separated from the casing is introduced to the toroidal field coils to realize their slender shape, allowing large-bore diagnostic ports for detailed plasma measurements. A method to minimize the manufacturing error of the equilibrium-field coils has been established, aiming at the precise plasma shape/position control. A compact butt-joint has been successfully developed for the Central Solenoid, which allows an optimized utilization of the limited space for the Central Solenoid to extend the duration of the plasma pulse.

Thermodynamic sorption models (TSMs) can be utilised to provide a scientific basis for Kd setting in the safety case, and for assessing the response of Kd to changes in chemical conditions. The TSM development involves a series of decisions on model features such as surface sites, sorption reactions and electrostatic corrections. There is a lack of consensus on the best ways to develop TSMs, and the NEA has therefore co ordinated an international project to assess the strategies and processes for building a TSM. This paper presents recommendations from the project on a number of aspects of TSM development in the context of radioactive waste disposal. Key recommendations include: definition of modelling objectives, identification of major decision points, a clear decision making rationale with reference to experimental or theoretical evidence, a suitable consultative and iterative model development process, testing to the maximum practicable extent, and documentation of key decisions.

The IAEA's model evaluation program EMRAS (Environment Modelling for Radiation Safety) includes a Tritium and C-14 Working Group (TCWG), the goal of which is to test the performance of environmental tritium and C-14 models. The TCWG has undertaken nine scenarios in which model predictions were compared with experimental data. Two of these scenarios are discussed here, one involving the prediction of time-dependent tritium concentrations in freshwater mussels subject to an abrupt change in ambient tritium levels, and the second involving the prediction of C-14 concentrations in rice grown in the vicinity of continuous atmospheric C-14 sources.

Carbon-14 transfer into rice plants from a continuous atmospheric source; Observations and model predictions

Carbon-14 ($$^{14}$$C) is one of the most important radionuclides from the perspective of dose estimation due to the nuclear fuel cycle. Ten years of monitoring data on $$^{14}$$C in airborne emissions, in atmospheric CO$$_{2}$$ and in rice grain collected around the Tokai reprocessing plant (TRP) showed an insignificant radiological effect of the TRP-derived $$^{14}$$C on the public, but suggested a minor contribution of the TRP-derived $$^{14}$$C to atmospheric $$^{14}$$C concentrations, and an influence on $$^{14}$$C concentrations in rice grain at harvest. This paper also summarizes a modelling exercise (the so-called rice scenario of the IAEA's EMRAS program) in which $$^{14}$$C concentrations in air and rice predicted with various models were compared with observed concentrations. The modelling results showed that Gaussian plume models with different assumptions predict monthly-averaged $$^{14}$$C concentrations in air well and also that specific activity and dynamic models were equally good for the prediction of inter-annual changes in $$^{14}$$C concentrations in rice grain.

Low-energy spectroscopic mapping studies in optimally-doped Ca$$_{2-x}$$Na$$_x$$CuO$$_2$$Cl$$_2$$

We performed high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy on an optimally-doped Ca$$_{2-x}$$Na$$_x$$CuO$$_2$$Cl$$_2$$ crystal. The so-called checkerboard local-density-of-state modulation manifests in the spectroscopic map of the optimally-doped sample. In addition, spatially-inhomogeneous energy gap is observed. The gap tends to be buried at elevated temperatures and correlates with the checkerboard modulation. These results suggest that the gap is related to superconductivity which coexists with the checkerboard modulation.
