It is important to investigate the failure mode and ultimate strength of piping components in order to evaluate the seismic integrity of piping. Many failure tests of thick wall and high pressure piping for Light Water Reactors (LWRs) have been conducted, and the results suggest that the failure mode that should be considered in the design of a thick wall piping for LWRs under seismic loading is low cycle fatigue. On the other hand, Sodium cooled Fast Reactors (SFRs) is thin wall when compared to LWRs piping. Failure tests of a thin wall piping are necessary because past failure tests for LWRs piping are not enough to discuss failure behavior of a thin wall piping. Therefore, this present work investigated the failure mode and the ultimate strength of thin wall tees.

In recent years, earthquakes over design condition were observed in Japan. Confirming the ultimate strength and design safety margin of mechanical components is important for the seismic integrity. This study focused on piping components, and it was one of the most important mechanical components for protecting boundary of coolant. Failure tests of thick-walled piping components for Light Water Reactors (LWRs) described previously in the literature. According to these tests, the failure mode of thick-walled piping components under seismic cyclic loading was low cycle fatigue. However, failure tests have scarcely been performed on thin-walled piping components pressurized at low levels for Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs). This paper presents dynamic failure tests of thin-walled piping components in FBRs. Based on the test results, the failure mode, the ultimate strength, and the elastic-plastic behavior are discussed.

Piping in a nuclear power plant is usually laid across several floors of a single building or adjacent buildings, and is supported at many points. As the piping is excited by a large earthquake through multiple supporting points, seismic response analysis by multiple excitations within the range of plastic deformation of piping material is necessary to obtain the precise seismic response of the piping. This paper reports the validation results of the seismic elastic-plastic time history analysis of piping compared with the results of the shaking test of a 3-dimensional piping model under a plastic deformation range using triple uni-axial shake table.

The piping in a nuclear power plant is laid across multiple floors of a single building or two buildings, which are supported at many anchors. As the piping is excited by multiple inputs from the supporting anchors during an earthquake, seismic response analysis by multiple excitations is needed to obtain the exact seismic response of the piping. However, few tests involving such multiple excitations have been performed to verify the validity of multiple excitation analysis. To perform rational seismic design and evaluation, it is important to investigate the seismic response by multiple excitations and verify the validity of the analysis method by multiple excitation test. This paper reports on the result of the shaking test using triple uni-axial shaking tables and a 3-dimensional piping model.

H-InvDB, originally developed as an integrated database of the human transcriptome based on extensive annotation of large sets of fulllength cDNA (FLcDNA) clones, now provides annotation for 120 558 human mRNAs extracted from the International Nucleotide Sequence Databases (INSD), in addition to 54 978 human FLcDNAs, in the latest release H-InvDB. We mapped those human transcripts onto the human genome sequences (NCBI build 36.1) and determined 34 699 human gene clusters, which could define 34 057 protein-coding and 642 non-protein-coding loci; 858 transcribed loci overlapped with predicted pseudogenes.

The ground-state band of Pu was established up to 12 states. The systematics of the moments of inertia of Pu isotopes suggests that the deformed subshell closure disappears in these isotopes. The measurements of deexcitation rays in Pu shows a small energy spacing between neutron orbitals at , which explans the disappearance of the subshell closure.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:56.54(Physics, Nuclear)We have measured deexcitation rays in the neutron-rich nuclei of U, Pu and Cm. These nuclei were produced by the (O, O) two-neutron transfer reactions with a 200, 162 and 162 MeV O beams and a U, Pu and Cm targets, respectively, using the tandem accelerator at Tokai, Japan. The rays in residual nuclei were measured by taking coincidence with scattering particles using Si - detectors. We have identified rays in U, Pu and Cm by selecting the kinetic energies of O particles which correspond to the excitation energies in these nuclei below their neutron separation energies. The ground-state bands of U, Pu and Cm were established up to 12 states and the octupole band of U was established up to 9 state. Because the deformations of these nuclei are well developed, the moments of inertia reflect the pairing gap, which is expected to be smaller, resulting in a larger moment of inertia, at the deformed shell closure. We have found that the moment of inertia of the ground-state band of Cm is considerably larger than that of Cm. This fact supports the existence of the deformed subshell closure at in Cm isotopes. On the other hand, the moment of inertia of Pu was found to be smaller than that of Pu, which suggests that the deformed subshell closure at weakens or disappears in Pu isotopes. These results are consistent with the prediction by a cranking model calculation.

The rays in U were identified by taking coincidence with O, using Si - detectors. The kinetic energies of O particles allowed us to select the excitation energies of U below the neutron separation energy. The ground-state band and the octupole band of U were established up to 12 and 9, respectively. The octupole-band head of U is higher than those of U by about a hundred keV, suggesting that a secondary maximum of octupole correlations exists at in U isotopes.
