The JT-60U torus was disassembled so as to newly install the superconducting tokamak JT-60SA torus. The JT-60U used the deuterium for 18 years, so the disassembly project of the JT-60U was the first disassembly experience of a fusion device with radioactivation in Japan. All disassembly components were stored with recording the data such as dose rate, weight and kind of material, so as to apply the clearance level regulation in future. The lessons learned from the disassembly project indicated that the cutting technologies and storage management of disassembly components were the key factors to conduct the disassembly project in an efficient way. After completing the disassembly project, efforts have been made to analyze the data for characterizing disassembly activities, so as to contribute the estimation of manpower needs and the radioactivation of the disassembly components on other fusion devices.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：16.44(Nuclear Science & Technology)Disassembly of the JT-60U torus was started in 2009 after 18-years D
operations, and was completed in October 2012. The JT-60U torus was featured by the complicated and welded structure against the strong electromagnetic force, and by the radioactivation due to D-D reactions. Since this work is the first experience of disassembling a large radioactive fusion device in Japan, careful disassembly activities have been made. About 13,000 components cut into pieces with measuring the dose rates were removed from the torus hall and stored safely in storage facilities by using a total wokers of 41,000 person-days during 3 years. The total weight of the disassembly components reached up to 5,400 tons. Most of the disassembly components will be treated as non-radioactive ones after the clearance verification under the Japanese regulation in future. The assembly of JT-60SA has started in January 2013 after this disassembly of JT-60U torus.

It is unclear whether natural circular dichroism (NCD) originating from core-absorption of atoms located at various sites, as well as next to the asymmetric carbon, in the molecules can be observed selectively. In this study, we measured NCD spectra of an amino acid, histidine (His) which has three nitrogen atoms, thin film in the nitrogen K-edge energy region and confirmed whether we can pick up the NCD signals originating from each nitrogen atom throughout the molecules. NCD peaks assigned to the 1s 
of the nitrogen atoms in imidazole ring and the 1s 
transition of the nitrogen atoms in imidazole ring and amino group. Imidazole ring and amino group are positioned at the side chain distant from and next to the asymmetric carbon, respectively. This result suggests that NCD spectroscopy in the soft X-ray region can selectively pick up the information on local structure around specific atoms, regardless of the position of atoms in molecules.
