Steam reforming method has been developed for the treatment of organic wastes which are not suitable materials (halogenated oil) for the incineration. This method consists of the gasification process in which organics are vaporized and decomposed with superheated steam and the oxidation process in which vaporized organics are decomposed by oxidizing reaction with heated air. In the gasification process, nonvolatile radionuclides are separated from vaporized waste. Therefore it can be expected that treatment of liquid waste generated from an off-gas treatment system and maintenance operation of the off-gas treatment system become easy to perform. 1,500L of waste oil contaminated with halogen, solvent and uranium was treated using the demonstration scale steam reforming system to examine the performance of the system in 2018. Results obtained this study were as follows; (1) The temperature in the steam reforming system was controlled under the self-regulation temperature. (2) The concentration of CO and NO in the off-gas were controlled less than 100 ppm and 250 ppm respectively. (3) The gasification ratio of waste oil was more than 99%. (4) Concentration of fluorine oil in waste oil is needed to be less than 20wt% to perform stable continuance treatment.

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.

Frustrated magnetic materials can remain disordered to the lowest temperatures. Such is the case for BaCuSbO, which is magnetically anisotropic at the atomic scale but curiously isotropic on mesoscopic length and time scales. We find that the frustration on the triangular lattice is imprinted in a nanostructured honeycomb lattice of Cu ions that resists a coherent static Jahn-Teller distortion. The resulting two-dimensional random-bond spin-1/2 system on the honeycomb lattice has a broad spectrum of spin-dimer like excitations and low-energy spin degrees of freedom that retain.

Development of a mask-less ion beam lithography technique for fabricating micro- or nano-meter sized structures has been started at the microbeam systems in the ion accelerator facility of JAEA Takasaki (TIARA) in collaboration with Shibaura Institute of Technology. In order to obtain a high precision measure for microbeam size estimation and lens system optimization, or for improvement of spatial resolution down to 100 nm level, we applied this lithography technique itself combined with the electroplating process to make a Ni relief pattern as an optimum resolution standard to be used in secondary electron imaging. In this work, using this standard, the smallest beam size could be obtained. This paper also discuses on the scattering of ions in the materials influenced to the resolution using a Monte Carlo simulation code.

As part of "Long-Term Assessment of Transport of Radioactive Contaminant in the Environment of Fukushima" (F-TRACE project), JAEA have researched to expect the transportation of radioactive caesium from contaminated mountain forests to estuary and coast through dam, pond, river etc. based on survey data in Fukushima prefecture, and to implement technical information and remedial measures to prevent contamination of decontaminated areas and domestic water supply. In the forest area, it is considered that radioactive caesium existed in the tree canopies move to the surface of the ground through litter fall, through fall and stem flow. In this study, we report properties and distribution of radioactive caesium of the surface soils at stem base of Japanese cedar in the Ogi district of Kawauchi-mura to know the influence of the stem flow on soil.
