Times Cited Count:43 Percentile:84.12(Instruments & Instrumentation)We developed a six-axis multi-anvil press, ATSUHIME, for high-pressure and high-temperature in situ time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction experiments. The press has six orthogonally oriented hydraulic rams that operate individually to compress a cubic sample assembly. Experiments indicate that the press can generate pressures up to 9.3 GPa and temperatures up to 2000 K using a 6-6-type cell assembly, with available sample volume of about 50 mm . Using a 6-8-type cell assembly, the available conditions expand to 16 GPa and 1273 K. Combination of the six-axis press and the collimation devices realized high-quality diffraction pattern with no contamination from the heater or the sample container surrounding the sample. This press constitutes a new tool for using neutron diffraction to study the structures of crystals and liquids under high pressures and temperatures.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has investigated the accelerator-driven system (ADS) to transmute minor actinides discharged from nuclear power plants. The ADS investigated by JAEA is a lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) cooled-tank-type ADS. It has been known that there was a major upgrade for the cross section data of lead isotopes from JENDL-3.3 to JENDL-4.0. Due to this upgrade, the value of of the core was significantly changed, from 0.97 calculated by JENDL-3.3 to 1.00 calculated by JENDL-4.0. The difference was mainly caused by the cross section data of the lead isotopes from JENDL-3.3 to JENDL-4.0. This study aims to measure sample worth reactivity from aluminum plates to lead or LBE ones to validate the nuclear data of lead and bismuth isotopes.

The powder diffractometer dedicated to high-pressure experiments (PLANET) is now being constructed on BL11 at the spallation neutron source of J-PARC. PLANET aims to study structures of hydrogen-bearing materials including dense hydrous minerals of the Earth's deep interior, magmas and light element liquids. The instrument will realize diffraction and radiography experiments for powder and liquid/glass samples at high pressures up to 20 GPa and 2000 K. It covers d spacing from 0.2 to 4.1 at 90 bank within the first frame.

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel was formed by addition of acid to CMC (CMC-acid gel). Gel fraction (weight of insoluble part/initial CMC weight) was calculated after removing uncrosslinked CMC by immersing the CMC-acid gel in water. It increased with acid concentration. Mechanism of CMC-acid gel formation was elucidated by aggregation of CMC molecules as the result of replacement of sodium in carboxyl group with hydrogen. Gels could be prepared by three different procedures; (1) mixing CMC and acid, (2) immersion of CMC or -irradiated CMC pastes in acid, and (3) -irradiation of CMC-acid gel. Gels with different elasticity and hardness were prepared changing degree of substitution of CMC, molar mass of CMC, species of acid, concentrations of acid and CMC, and application of -irradiation.

Deuterium Critical Assembly (DCA) is a critica facility with 1 kW maximum thermal output used for development of an Advanced Thermal Reactor and a subcriticality measurement technique for criticality safety management of nuclear fuel facilities since its initial criticality in 1969. It has been planed to stop DCA operation in 2001 and shift to decommissioning phase. In this study, we evaluated activated inventories being primary data for study of an amount of radioactive wastes, dismantling method and cost which are indispensable for a decommissioning plan and a draft of a legal application for decommissioning. The evaluation was carried out for components in Reactor room and a DO handling room irradiated with neutron flux. Results are as follows. (1)Each amounts of components and a building related with Reactor room and D2O handling room are 108 tons and 6,039 tons respectively. They are classified into 28 tons of aluminum, 37 tons of stainless steel, 73 tons of carbon steel, 6,004 tons of concrete and 5 tons of the others. (2)The activated inventories are very little due to a low neutron flux in DCA. Thus, radioactive materials concentrations in most of matelials except 37 tons of stainless steel and 12 tons of carbon steel will be lower than that of proposed clearance level in 7 years after the end of operation. The inventories of the components and the shield will be respectively 4.2510Bq and l.7110Bq.

A Subcriticality measurement technique was developed to improve safety and efficiency of criticality safety control in nuclear fuel processing facilities. In the development, two measurement techniques based on reactor noise analysis were selected as candidates of subcriticality measurement technique applicable to severe situations in FBR fuel reprocessing plants. The research activity was performed in Deuterium Critical Assembly (DCA) which was partly reconstructed from the original core of the advanced thermal reactor, so that light water and FBR type fuel could be used as in the FBR fuel reprocessing plants. Through the research, each technique was improved to satisfy criteria for subcriticality monitoring technique in FBR fuel reprocessing plant. Since the two techniques have basically different features while using common devices,thier combination would be a simple and reliable measurement system. This report summarizes processes and results of the research activity in DCA.
