KURNS Progress Report 2021, P. 100, 2022/07

The R&D of reactor noise analysis to obtain HTGR nuclear characteristics have been performed with Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA). In the last study, a neutron detector located about 55 cm away of fuel assembly measured the auto power spectral density. However, the prompt neutron decay constants obtained by this detector was different from that of other detectors. The objective of this study is experimental study of reactor noise analysis by the power spectrum method using neutron detector placed outside reactor core.

As a summer holiday practical training 2018, the feasibility study for nuclear design of a nuclear battery using HTTR core was carried out. As a result, it is become clear that the continuous operations for about 30 years at 2 MW, about 25 years at 3 MW, about 18 years at 4 MW, about 15 years at 5 MW are possible. As an image of thermal design, the image of the nuclear battery consisting a cooling system with natural convection and a power generation system with no moving equipment is proposed. Further feasibility study to confirm the feasibility of nuclear battery will be carried out in training of next fiscal year.

Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses of lead (Pb) isotope cross sections are conducted with the use of sample reactivity experiments at the Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA). With the combined use of the SRAC2006 and MARBLE code systems, attempts are made to precisely examine the contributions of the reactions and energy regions of Pb isotope cross sections to reactivity based on the covariance data of JENDL-4.0. Moreover, the effect of decreasing uncertainty is discussed in terms of the accuracy of sample reactivity by applying the cross section adjustment method to the uncertainty analyses. From the results of the sensitivity and uncertainty analyses, the reliability of Pb isotope cross sections, such as the Pb isotope covariance data of JENDL-4.0, is compared with the JENDL-3.3, ENDF/B-VII.0, and JEFF-3.1 libraries.

Sample reactivity experiments on the uncertainty analyses of Pb nuclear data are carried out by substituting Al plates for Pb ones at the Kyoto University Critical Assembly, as part of basic research on Pb-Bi for the coolant. Numerical simulations of sample reactivity experiments are performed with the Monte Carlo calculation code MCNP6.1 together with four nuclear data libraries JENDL-3.3, JENDL-4.0, ENDF/B-VII.0 and JEFF-3.1, to examine the accuracy of cross-section uncertainties of Pb isotopes by comparing measured and calculated sample reactivities. A library update from JENDL-3.3 to JENDL-4.0 is demonstrated by the fact that the difference between Pb isotopes of the two JENDL libraries is dominant in the comparative study, through the experimental analyses of sample reactivity by the MCNP approach. In addition, JENDL-4.0 reveals a slight difference from ENDF/B-VII.0 in all Pb isotopes and $$^{27}$$Al, and from JEFF-3.1 in $$^{238}$$U and $$^{27}$$Al.

Influence of linear energy transfer on the scintillation decay behavior in a lithium glass scintillator

We analyzed the effects of linear energy transfer (LET) on the scintillation properties of a Li glass scintillator, GS20. The scintillation time profiles were measured by using pulsed ion beams having different LETs. The rise in the scintillation time profiles was faster for higher LET, whereas the decay part was not significantly different for largely different LETs. The LET effects in the rise was ascribed to the effects of excited states interaction during the energy transfer process from the host glass to the luminescent centers, Ce$$^{3+}$$ ions. Supposing that the light yield decreases with LET, the fast rise at high LET was explained in terms of the competition between the energy transfer and the quenching due to the excited states interaction.

Linear energy transfer effects on time profiles of scintillation of Ce-doped LiCaAlF$$_{6}$$ crystals

We measured temporal profiles of scintillation of Ce-doped LiCaAlF$$_{6}$$ scintillator crystals at different linear energy transfers (LETs). Based on the comparison of the high-LET temporal profiles with those at low LET, we found that a fast component was observed only at low LET. The disappearance of the fast component at high LET is tentatively ascribed to quenching of excited states at defects owing to the interaction between excited states via Auger process. In addition, the rise and the initial decay behavior was dependent on the LET. This LET-dependent behavior is explained by a seeming acceleration process and a slowing down process in energy transfer at high LET. The LET-dependent temporal profiles provide a basis of discrimination technique of $$gamma$$-ray and neutron detection events using these scintillators based on the nuclear reaction, $$^{6}$$Li(n,$$alpha$$)t.

JAEA has kept up a data-base system of operation and maintenance experiences of the HTTR. The objective of this system is to share the information obtained operation and maintenance experiences and to make use of lessons learned and knowledge into a design, construction and operation managements of the future HTGR. More than one thousand records have been registered into the system between 1997 and 2012. This paper describes the status of the data-base system, and provides suggestions for improvement from four experiences: (1) performance degradation of helium compressors; (2) malfunction of reserved shutdown system in reactivity control system; (3) maintenance experiences of emergency gas turbine generators; and (4) experiences of the Great East Japan Earthquake. These experiences are extracted from the system as important lessons learned to be expected to apply for design, construction and operation managements of future HTGR.

$$E1$$ and $$E2$$ cross sections of the $$^{12}$$C($$alpha$$,$$gamma$$)$$^{16}$$O reaction at $$E_{rm{eff}}$$ $$sim$$ 1.2 MeV using pulsed $$alpha$$ beams

The $$^{12}$$C($$alpha$$,$$gamma$$)$$^{16}$$O reaction cross section plays an important role in stellar evolution at the stage of helium-burning. However, the cross section at low energy still has a large uncertainty mainly due to the poor determination of the ratio of $$E2$$ cross section to $$E1$$ one. Hence, we have installed new system to make a precise measurement of the cross section. In this experiment, we used the high efficiency anti-Compton NaI(Tl) spectrometers with a large S/N ratio, an intense pulsed $$alpha$$ beams, and the monitoring system of target thickness. With use of the system we succeeded in removing a background due to neutron and could clearly detect the $$gamma$$-ray from the $$^{12}$$C($$alpha$$,$$gamma$$)$$^{16}$$O reaction with high statistics. We determined the $$E1$$ and $$E2$$ cross section down to $$E_{rm{eff}} sim $$ 1.2 MeV, and thus obtained results are compared to recent theoretical calculations.

The auxiliary component cooling water system (ACCWS) is one of the cooling system in High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) The ACCWS has the features not only many facilities cooling but also heat sink of the vessel cooling system which is one of the engineering safety features. Therefore, the ACCWS is required to satisfy the design criteria of heat removal performance. In this report, heat exchange performance data of the rise-to-power-up test and the in-service operation for the ACCWS cooling tower was evaluated. Moreover, the evaluated values were compared with the design values, and it is confirmed that ACCWS cooling tower has the required heat exchange performance in the design.

Study of the anisotropy of electron energy distribution of optical-field ionized oxygen plasma by using polarization spectroscopy

Kim, J.*; Kim, D. E.*; Kawachi, Tetsuya; Hasegawa, Noboru; Sukegawa, Kota*; Iwamae, Atsushi*; Fujimoto, Takashi*

Journal of the Optical Society of Korea, 7(3), p.145 - 149, 2003/09

The anistropy of electron energy distribution in oxygen plasmas produced by a high intensinty laser was investigated by using polarization spectroscopy. An ultra-short pulsed laser with a pulse duration of 66.5 fs and a power density of 1$$times$$10$$^{17}$$ W/cm$$^{2}$$ was used. At this power density and pulse duration, the plasma was generated predominantly by optical field ionization. The degree of polarization of OVI 1s$$^{2}$$2p $$^{2}$$P$$^{2}$$-1s$$^{2}$$4d $$^{2}$$D$$^{0}$$ (J=1/2-3/2 and J=3/2-5/2) transition line at 129.92 $AA  was mesured. OVI $の1s$$^{2}$$ 2p$$^{2}$$P$$^{2}$$-1s$$^{2}$$4s$$^{2}$$S$$^{2}$$ (J=1/2-1/2 and J=3/2-1/2) transition line at 132.26 AA was used to calibrate the sensitivity of the optical system. The dependencies of the degree of polarization on the initial gas density and on the laser polarization were investigated. When the laser polarization was changed from a linear to a circlar polarization was decreased. When the initial gas density was increased, the degree of polarization was decreased.
