The high-performance computer system Helios which is located at The Computational Simulation Centre (CSC) in The International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) started its operation in January 2012 under the Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and the EU. The Helios system has been used for magnetised fusion related simulation studies in the EU and Japan and has kept high average usage rate. As a result, the Helios system has contributed to many research products in a wide range of research areas from core plasma physics to reactor material and reactor engineering. This project review gives a short catalogue of domestic simulation research projects. First, we outline the IFERC-CSC project. After that, shown are objectives of the research projects, numerical schemes used in simulation codes, obtained results and necessary computations in future.

Dynamics of ion internal transport barrier (ITB) formation and impurity transport both in the Large Helical Device (LHD) heliotron and JT-60U tokamak are described. Significant differences between heliotron and tokamak plasmas are observed. The location of the ITB moves outward during the ITB formation regardless of the sign of magnetic shear in JT-60U and the ITB becomes more localized in the plasma with negative magnetic shear. In LHD, the low Te/Ti ratio ($$<$$ 1) of the target plasma for the high power heating is found to be necessary condition to achieve the ITB plasma and the ITB location tends to expand outward or inward depending on the condition of the target plasmas. Associated with the formation of ITB, the carbon density tends to be peaked due to inward convection in JT-60U, while the carbon density becomes hollow due to outward convection in LHD. The outward convection observed in LHD contradicts the prediction by neoclassical theory.

The National Centralized Tokamak (NCT) facility program is a domestic research program for advanced tokamak research to succeed JT-60U incorporating Japanese university accomplishments. The mission of NCT is to establish high beta steady-state operation for DEMO and to contribute to ITER. The machine flexibility and mobility is pursued in aspect ratio and shape controllability, feedback control of resistive wall modes, wide current and pressure profile control capability for the demonstration of the high-b steady state.

Design studies are shown on the National Centralized Tokamak facility. The machine design is carried out to investigate the capability for the flexibility in aspect ratio and shape controllability for the demonstration of the high-beta steady state operation with nation-wide collaboration, in parallel with ITER towards DEMO. Two designs are proposed and assessed with respect to the physics requirements such as confinement, stability, current drive, divertor, and energetic particle confinement. The operation range in the aspect ratio and the plasma shape is widely enhanced in consistent with the sufficient divertor pumping. Evaluations of the plasma performance towards the determination of machine design are presented.

After JRR-4 heat exchanger was renewed in made of stainless steel from carbon steel, it was examined how to manage the heat exchanger. The main subject is the cleaning technology of the heat exchanger. The recovery of old heat exchanger cooling performance has been by only chemical cleaning. Now we use chemical and dry cleaning as a new technique. It helps prevent of corrosions of secondary pipes and reduce of management costs. This report describes the performance management and cleaning technology of the JRR-4 heat exchanger and the management of the JRR-4 coolant.

The dominant issue for the the modification program of JT-60 (JT-60SC) is to demonstrate the steady state reactor relevant plasma operation. Physics design on plasma parameters, operation scenarios, and the plasma control method are investigated for the achievement of high-$$beta$$. Engineering design and the R&D on the superconducting magnet coils, radiation shield, and vacuum vessel are performed. Recent progress in such physics and technology developments is presented.

Instantaneous correlation between ELM-like MHD activity and abrupt non-local reduction of transport at internal transport barrier formation in JT-60U high-$$beta$$$$_{p}$$ plasmas

New type of edge-core instantaneous interplay in JT-60U high-$$beta$$$$_{p}$$ plasmas is found. Abrupt in time and wide in space reduction of electron heat flux in the core (called ITB-event) is correlated in ms timescale with the start of an ELM. This result gives a hint of the control to form the ITB immedeately and non-locally by inducing the ELM-like MHD activity.

Determining the biological effects of a very low number of charged particles crossing the cell nucleus is interest for estimating the risk due to environmental exposure to charged particles. Especially it is necessary to detect the radiation damage induced by a precise number of charged particles in the individual cells. To compare the number of ions traversing the cell and the DNA damage produced by the hit ions, we applied comet assay. Cells attached on the ion track detector CR-39 were irradiated with 17.3 MeV/u 12C, 15.7 MeV/u, 10.4 MeV/u 20Ne and 6.9 MeV/u 40Ar ion beams at TIARA, JAERI-Takasaki. After irradiation, CR-39 was covered with 1 % agarose. After electrophoresis the CR-39 was taken off from the slide glass. The agarose gel on the CR-39 was stained with ethidium bromide and the opposite side of the CR-39 was etched with KOH-ethanol solution at 37 $$^{circ}C$$. We observed that the ion particles with higher LET value induced the heavier DNA damage, even by the same number of ion-hits within the irradiated cells.

Responses of two lines of feline T lymphocytes, FeT-J and FL-4, to ionizing radiation were examined in the present study. FL-4 cells, but not FeT-J, were persistently infected with feline immunodeficiency virus. Cells were irradiated with $$^{60}$$Co-$$gamma$$ rays at 2 Gy/min. Surviving fractions were evaluated with clonogenic assay. Apoptosis was detected using TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. Changes in nuclear morphology of viable cells were evaluated by double staining with Hoechst 33342 and ethidium bromide. Mean surviving fractions of FL-4 cells were slightly higher than FeT-J for each radiation dose given. However, dose required to reduce to 63 % of surviving fraction was 1.9 Gy in both cell lines. TUNEL assay, however, revealed the maximum frequency of apoptosis in FL-4 cells ($$<$$20 %) was lower than in FeT-J cells ($$>$$40 %). The time of frequency peak of TUNEL-positive cells in FL-4 was shorter than that of FeT-J. FL-4 cells reached peak level within 24 hours after irradiation, but FeT-J cells needed later than 48 hours after irradiation. Exposure of FL-4 cells to $$gamma$$ rays resulted in the giant- and the multi- nucleus formation. Nuclear swelling occurred to less extent in FeT-J than FL-4 cells. In conclusion, we found the difference in cellular responses to radiation in two lines of feline T lymphocytes. Modes of cell death of FL-4 cells were non-apoptotic and more research would discover new mechanism associated with apoptosis.
