Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:67.3(Nuclear Science & Technology)In JT-60 Super Advanced for the fusion experiment, 22A, 100s negative ions are designed to be extracted from the world largest ion extraction area of 450 mm 1100 mm. One of the key issues for producing such as high current beams is to improve non-uniform production of the negative ions. In order to improve the uniformity of the negative ions, a tent-shaped magnetic filter has newly been developed and tested for JT-60SA negative ion source. The original tent-shaped filter significantly improved the logitudunal uniformity of the extracted H ion beams. The logitudinal uniform areas within a 10 deviation of the beam intensity were improved from 45% to 70% of the ion extraction area. However, this improvement degrades a horizontal uniformity. For this, the uniform areas was no more than 55% of the total ion extraction area. In order to improve the horizontal uniformity, the filter strength has been reduced from 660 Gasuscm to 400 Gasuscm. This reduction improved the horizontal uniform area from 75% to 90% without degrading the logitudinal uniformity. This resulted in the improvement of the uniform area from 45% of the total ion extraction areas. This improvement of the uniform area leads to the production of a 22A H ion beam from 450 mm 1100 mm with a small amount increase of electron current of 10%. The obtained beam current fulfills the requirement for JT-60SA.

Resistivity of a high temperature pure water has been measured up to 180C which is the maximum water temperature in the ITER Neutral Beam Injector. The resistivity of the pure water is decreased by increasing the water temperature. It was found that even different resistivity water of 9 Mcm and 5 Mcm showed almost the same resistivity at the higher temperature region of 100C. The resistivity of 0.36 Mcm was measured at the temperature of 180C. This resistivity agreed well to the calculated value for the theoretical pure water.

Times Cited Count:14 Percentile:50.88(Instruments & Instrumentation)Non-uniformity of the negative ion beams in the JT-60 negative ion source was improved by modifying an external magnetic field to a tent-shaped magnetic field for reduction of the local heat loads in the source. Distributions of the source plasmas (H ions and H atoms) of the parents of H ions converted on the cesium covered plasma grids were measured by Langmuir probes and emission spectroscopy. Beam intensities of the H ions extracted from the plasma grids were measured by IR camera from the back of the beam target plate. The tent-shaped magnetic field prevented the source plasmas to be localized by B grad B drift of the primary electrons emitted from the filaments in the arc chamber. As a result, standard derivation of the H ions beams was reduced from 14% (the external magnetic field) to 10% (the tent-shaped magnetic field) without reduction of an activity of the H ion production.

Distributions of H and H in the source plasmas produced at the end-plugs of JT-60 negative ions source were measured by Langmuir probes and emission spectroscopy in order to experimentally investigate the cause of lower density of the negative ions extracted from end-plugs in the source. Densities of H and H in end-plugs of the plasma grid in the source were compared with those in the center regions. As a result, lower density of the negative ion at the edge was caused by lower beam optics due to lower and higher density of the H and H.

Dismantling activities of equipments in JAERI's Reprocessing Test Facility (JRTF) started from 1996 as a part of decommissioning of this facility. Removing out of the large liquid waste storage tank LV-2 as a whole tank without cutting in pieces from the annex building B to confirm safety and efficiency of this method started from 2006. After preparatory works, ceiling of LV-2 room was opened, and LV-2 was transferred. Useful data were collected on manpower, radiation control and waste amount through the preparatory works, and work efficiency was analyzed by use of these data.

Japan Research Reactor No.2(JRR-2), heavy water moderated and cooled tank type research reactor with maximum thermal power of 10MW,was operated for over 36 years, and was permanently shut down in December, 1996. In 1997, decommissioning plan was submitted to the STA, and dismantling was begun. Decommissioning program of JRR-2 is divided into 4 phases. Phase 1, 2 had already been completely finished without any trouble. Furthermore, the phase 3 was also finished in February, 2004 as planned. On exposure of worker in phase 1, 2 and 3, it was achieved to control lower than the estimate. On exposure of worker in phase 1, 2 and 3, it was achieved to control lower than the estimate. Reactor will be removed in phase 4 by one piece removal technique. The reactor building is planned to use effectively as a hot experimental facilities after decommissioning. The decommissioning plan was changed that the reactor would be kept in safety storage.

This report described plant operational management during the 7th annual inspection of Experimental Fast Reactor JOYO from September 1988 to January 1989. One of the important purposes of this inspection is to find a rationality inspection method for LMFBR plants. Therefore, almost inspection items with various modifications and preparation for irradiation were completed for about 3.5 months. This is the shortest record on JOYO. The inspection schedule was very tight and complicated, but it was successfully finished in cooperation with members of operation and maintenance section, by adequate operational management and advanced preparation for inspection. Useful operational management techniques for rationality inspection were obtained, through the experience of 7th annual inspection.
