We have studied the electronic structure of ferrimagnetic Mn$$_{2}$$VAl single crystals by means of soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray absorption magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), and resonant soft X-ray inelastic scattering (RIXS). We have successfully observed the XMCD signals for all the constituent elements. The Mn L$$_{2,3}$$ XAS and XMCD spectra are reproduced by spectral simulations based on density-functional theory, indicating the itinerant character of the Mn 3$$d$$ states. On the other hand, the V 3$$d$$ electrons are rather localized since the ionic model can qualitatively explain the V L$$_{2,3}$$ XAS and XMCD spectra. This picture is consistent with local $$dd$$ excitations revealed by the V L$$_{3}$$ RIXS.

Influence of borosilicate glass by neutron irradiation

Nagai, Takayuki; Kobayashi, Hidekazu; Okamoto, Yoshihiro; Uehara, Akihiro*; Fujii, Toshiyuki*

Photon Factory Activity Report 2015, Part B, 2 Pages, 2016/00

To investigate the characterization damage of a borosilicate glass by a neutron irradiation, the glass sample after neutron irradiation was estimated by using the Raman spectrophotometry and the synchrotron XAFS measurement. As a result, we confirmed that the Si-O bridge structure of a borosilicate glass and the containing element valence in the glass were changed by the neutron irradiation.

PLANET is a time-of-flight (ToF) neutron beamline dedicated to high-pressure and high-temperature experiments. The large six-axis multi-anvil high-pressure press designed for ToF neutron diffraction experiments enables routine data collection at high pressures and high temperatures up to 10 GPa and 2000 K, respectively. To obtain clean data, the beamline is equipped with the incident slits and receiving collimators to eliminate parasitic scattering from the high-pressure cell assembly. The high performance of the diffractometer for the resolution ($$Delta$$ $$d$$/$$d$$ $$sim$$ 0.6%) and the accessible $$d$$-spacing range (0.2-8.4 ${AA}$) together with low-parasitic scattering characteristics enables precise structure determination of crystals and liquids under high pressure and temperature conditions.

Technetium-99m ($$^{rm 99m}$$Tc) is used in radioactive medical diagonostic tests, for example as a radioactive tracer that medical equipment can detect in the human body. It is well suited to the role because it emits readily detectable 141 keV $$gamma$$ rays, and its half-life is 6.01 hours (meaning that about 94% of it decays to technetium-99 in 24 hours). There are at least 31 commonly used radiopharmaceuticals based on technetium-99m for imaging and functional studies of the brain, myocardium, thyroid, lungs, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, skeleton, blood, and tumors. Recent years, with the develop-ment of the Compton camera which can realize high position resolution, technetium isotopes emitting high energy $$gamma$$-rays are required. In this study, technetium-95m which emits some $$gamma$$ rays around 800 keV was produced by the $$^{95}$$Mo(p,n)$$^{rm 95m}$$Tc reaction.

The redox equilibrium of UO$$_2^{2+}$$/UO$$_2^{+}$$ couple was measured in Li$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$-Na$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$ eutectic melt at 550$$^{circ}$$C by cyclic voltammetry and absorption spectrophotometry. The standard redox potential of UO$$_2^{2+}$$/UO$$_2^{+}$$ couple was approximately evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. Further, the absorption spectrum and equilibrium potential were measured, repeatedly adding UO$$_2^{2+}$$ source material into the melt containing UO$$_2^{+}$$. From the correlation between the equilibrium potential of the melt and the concentration ratio [UO$$_2^{2+}$$]/[UO$$_2^{+}$$] spectrophotometrically evaluated, the standard redox potential of UO$$_2^{2+}$$/UO$$_2^{+}$$ couple was determined to be -0.847$$pm$$0.010 V vs. O$$_{2}$$/O$$^{2-}$$.

The reduction of uranium from UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ to UO$$_{2}$$$$^{+}$$ or U$$^{4+}$$ in molten LiCl-RbCl and LiCl-KCl eutectics was examined by using tungsten and chlorine gas. Spectrophotometric technique was adopted to determine the concentration of uranium species. When tungsten was immersed into the LiCl-RbCl eutectic melt at 400$$^{circ}$$C without supplying chlorine gas, 36% of the total weight of the hexavalent of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ was reduced to the pentavalent of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{+}$$. Under purging chlorine gas into the melt, 96% of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ was reduced to the tetravalent of U$$^{4+}$$. Tungsten oxy-chloride of WOCl$$_{4}$$ was produced via the reductions of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$, which was volatized from the melt and adsorbed on the upper part of experimental cell. On the other hand, 84% of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ in the LiCl-KCl eutectic melt at 500$$^{circ}$$C was reduced to U$$^{4+}$$ by using tungsten and chlorine gas.

In order to examine easily synthetic conditions of uranyl molybdate, UO$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$, used for the reprocessing process study of spent nuclear oxide fuels in alkaline molybdate melts, the uranium molybdate compounds were produced from U$$_{3}$$O$$_{8}$$ powder and anhydrous MoO$$_{3}$$ reagent. The results of having investigated them in solid state by using X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectrometry, it was confirmed that UO$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$ could be synthesized by heating mixed powder of U$$_{3}$$O$$_{8}$$ and MoO$$_{3}$$ with stoichiometric mole ratio at 770$$^{circ}$$C for 4 h under air atmosphere. Moreover, adding this UO$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$ into Li$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$-Na$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$ eutectic melt, most of the dissolved uranium species in the melt were observed as hexa-valent uranyl ions by absorption spectrophotometry.

Proceedings in Radiochemistry, 1(1), p.151 - 155, 2011/09

Absorption spectra of dissolved uranium species in molten Li$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$-Na$$_{2}$$MoO$$_{4}$$ eutectic at 550 $$^{circ}$$C were measured by spectrophotometry, and their redox reactions were also investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Observed absorption spectra of uranium species were similar to those of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{+}$$ in molten chlorides. After purging oxygen into the melt, the absorption peaks of UO$$_{2}$$$$^{+}$$ decreased and UO$$_{2}$$$$^{+}$$ was thought to be oxidized to UO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$. When the uranium species were not contained in the melt, we confirmed that alkali metals deposited at -0.7 V and a small reduction of this melt was observed at -0.3 V. When UO$$_{2}$$ was dissolved into the melt, the reduction of the uranium species was observed at -0.2 V. It was suggested that the dissolved uranium species are recovered as mixed uranium-molybdenum oxides by electrolysis.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting R&D efforts for that. We are developing high-brightness DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting (SC) linacs, and 1.3 GHz high CW-power RF sources. We are also constructing the Compact ERL (cERL) for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using above-mentioned critical technologies.

Formal redox potentials of the U$$^{4+}$$/U$$^{3+}$$ and U$$^{3+}$$/U couples in molten LiCl-RbCl eutectic were determined by cyclic voltammetry. These redox potentials were more negative than those in the LiCl-KCl eutectic but positive comparing to those in the NaCl-CsCl eutectic. This relation would be correlated with the averaged alkali cation radius.

Redox behavior of uranium and plutonium in molten salts is the essential information for establishing an effective reprocessing process with spent MOX fuel. In an oxide electro-winning reprocessing process, the spent nuclear fuel is dissolved into the molten NaCl-CsCl eutectic, and the dissolved U(VI) and Pu(VI) species are reduced to be dioxides by electrolysis. In the present study, formal redox potentials of the Pu$$^{4+}$$/Pu$$^{3+}$$ and PuO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$/Pu$$^{4+}$$ couples in the molten NaCl-CsCl eutectic at 923 K were determined. The fractions of Pu$$^{3+}$$, Pu$$^{4+}$$, and PuO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$ were determined by UV/Vis/NIR absorption spectrophotometry. PuO$$_{2}$$ was dissolved into the molten NaCl-CsCl eutectic by Cl$$_{2}$$$$_{2}$$ gas purging. Valences of plutonium (Pu$$^{0}$$, Pu$$^{3+}$$, Pu$$^{4+}$$, and PuO$$_{2}$$$$^{2+}$$) were controlled by changing the flow rates of Cl$$_{2}$$, O$$_{2}$$, and Ar gases.
