Buckling evaluation methods capable of evaluating elasto-plastic buckling under axial compression, bending, and shear loads are required for cylindrical vessels of fast reactors to cope with thinning due to increasing diameter and application to the seismic isolation design against huge seismic ground motion. In this study, in order to confirm the applicability of the proposal evaluation method, several buckling tests and FE analyses were carried out using the specimens made of Modified 9Cr-1Mo steel. The buckling modes and strength data in the load region where the interaction of cyclic axial compression, bending and shear buckling could occur were examined. As a result, it was confirmed that the proposal evaluation method estimated the buckling load in the tests conservatively. Moreover, a series of finite element analyzes using a model with residual stress due to welding revealed that the effect of residual stress on buckling strength is negligible in the evaluation method.

Our finding of such a small component and the halo features reported in prior experiments can be explained by the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum, revealing a definite but not dominant neutron halo in B. The present work gives the smallest - or -orbital component among known nuclei exhibiting halo features and implies that the dominant occupation of or orbitals is not a prerequisite for the occurrence of a neutron halo.

As a means of radiation monitoring from the air, aerial monitoring using a manned helicopter is conducted. Although a manned helicopter can monitor a large area during a short time, flight at an altitude of 300 m or lower is prohibited by the Aviation Law in Japan. Therefore, it is difficult for a manned helicopter to measure the radiation profile near the ground and to measure the radiation level in a complicated terrain. In recent years, technologies for autonomous flying of industrial unmanned helicopters have been developed and applied to natural disasters. In expectation of the application of unmanned helicopters to aerial radiation monitoring during a nuclear emergency, we have developed a remote radiation monitoring system and investigated its possibilities.

Buckling evaluation methods capable of evaluating elasto-plastic buckling under axial compression, bending, and shear loads are required for cylindrical vessels of fast reactors to cope with thinning due to increasing diameter and application to the seismic isolation design against huge seismic ground motion. In this study, the effect of initial imperfection and stress of large vessels manufactured by welding multiple plates on the buckling load was evaluated via a series of analyses. In these analyses, the superimposition of global imperfection over the entire vessel due to accumulation of misalignment in buckling mode imperfection had minimal effect on the buckling load. Accordingly, the length for measuring the imperfection amplitude should correspond to the wavelength of the buckling mode. The local imperfection and residual stress by welding also exerted small effects on the buckling load.
