We have constructed a linac for development of various accelerator components at J-PARC. The ion source is same as the J-PARC linac's, and the RFQ is a used one in the J-PARC linac. The beam energy is 3 MeV and nominal beam current is 30 mA. The accelerator has been already commissioned, and the first development program, laser-charge-exchange experiment for the transmutation experimental facility, has been started. In this paper, present status of this 3-MeV linac is presented.

The proton linac installed in the Ibaraki Neutron Medical Research Center is used for production of the intense neutron flux for the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). The linac consists of the 3-MeV RFQ and the 8-MeV DTL. Design average beam current is 10mA. Target is made of Beryllium. First neutron production from the Beryllium target was observed at the end of 2015 with the low intensity beam as a demonstration. After the observation of neutron production, a lot of improvement s was carried out in order to increase the proton beam intensity for the real beam commissioning. The beam commissioning has been started on May 2016. The status of the commissioning is summarized in this report.

We performed a beam test of a new radio frequency quadrupole linac (RFQ III) for the beam current upgrade of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. First, the conditioning of RFQ III was conducted, and after 20 h of conditioning, RFQ III became very stable with a nominal peak power and duty factor of 400 kW and 1.5%, respectively. An off-line beam test was subsequently conducted before installation in the accelerator tunnel. The transmission, transverse emittance, and energy spread of the 50-mA negative hydrogen beam from RFQ III were measured and compared with simulation results. The experiment and simulation results showed good agreement; therefore, we conclude that the performance of RFQ III conforms to its design.

J-PARC linac has been operated at 7.2 kW since Nov. 2007. The most serious problem from SDTL (Separated-type Drift-Tube Linac) to ACS (Annular-Coupled Structure) sections is how to suppress the highest beam loss due to which have been generated by interactions between and remnant gas. Although beam loss has been measured with proportional counters, we have not succeeded to estimate absolute amplitude of . We have succeeded to reconstruct proton tracks which are generated from using scintillating fiber hodoscopes which were installed in the ACS section.

The condition of facilities and machinery used continuously were investigated before the renewal work of JMTR on FY 2007. The subjects of investigation were reactor building, primary cooling system tanks, secondary cooling system piping and tower, emergency generator and so on. As the result, it was confirmed that some facilities and machinery were necessary to repair and others were used continuously for long term by maintaining on the long-term maintenance plan. JMTR is planed to renew by the result of this investigation.

The excitation function of the Li(d,t)Li reaction was directly measured using Li beams at E = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 MeV with CD targets. The beam energies covered the Gamow peaks for 1310 K. Large cross sections were observed at around E = 0.8 MeV, implying a resonance state located at 22.4 MeV in Be. The present astrophysical reaction rate is higher in one order magnitude than the presently adopted rate at around 110 K.

On march 11,1997, bituminization demonstration facility(BDF) in Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) of power reactor and nuclear fuel development corporation (PNC) made fire and explosion incident. Investigation of the cause of the fire and explosion incident at BDF was carefully conducted. The main cause of the fire is clarified to have been physical heating inside the extruder that provided unusual high temperature of bituminized product at filling. Physical feating is considered to be derived from decrease of feed rate of liquid waste to the extruder. The causes of the explosion are accumulation offlammable gas generated from insufficiently extinguished bituminized product inside the filling room of which the ventilation system was shut doen. The gas was ignited by another ignition of the heated drum.
