Reflectance spectra of excavated material exhibit a hydroxyl (OH) absorption feature that is slightly stronger and peak-shifted compared with that observed for the surface, indicating that space weathering and/or radiative heating have caused subtle spectral changes in the uppermost surface. However, the strength and shape of the OH feature still suggests that the subsurface material experienced heating above 300 
C, similar to the surface. In contrast, thermophysical modeling indicates that radiative heating does not increase the temperature above 200 C at the estimated excavation depth of 1 m, even if the semimajor axis is reduced to 0.344 au. This supports the hypothesis that primary thermal alteration occurred due to radiogenic and/or impact heating on Ryugu's parent body.

The local structure of waste elements in simulated waste glasses including V was estimated by using synchrotron XAFS measurement in this study. The results are as follows. (1) V has a high possibility which exists in the glass phase in the case of frit, and V can regard both samples as stable 4 coordination structure. (2) Zn, Ce, Nd, Zr, and Mo exist in the glass phase, and the difference is admitted by the percentage of Ce(III) and Ce(IV) by the composition. (3) Ru is separated from the glass phase as RuO
crystalline, both of metal and oxide exist in Rh, and Pd is separated out as metal. (4) It was confirmed that the regularity of the local structure of Zr and Mo in the molten glasses retreats as a result of the XAFS measurement at high temperature. (5) The XAFS measurement of molten glasses were performed at 1200C, so it would be possible to acquire excellent data by improving the shapes of the sample cell.

We present a well-prescribed method of determining the number of incident photons within 3.5% accuracy based on the response of the NaI(Tl) detector to the pulsed photon beams.

In the molten state, coordination number of thorium and inter ionic distances between thorium and fluorine in the first neighbor are nearly constant in all mixtures. However the fluctuation factors (Debye-Waller factor and C
cumulant) increase until 
CaF = 0.17 and decrease by addition of excess CaF. It means that the local structure around Th
is disordered until CaF=0.17 and stabilized over CaF = 0.17. The variation of fluctuation factors is related to the number density of F
in ThF
mixtures and the stability of local structure around Th increases with decreasing the number density of F in ThF mixtures. This tendency is common to those in the ZrF and YF mixtures.

The main objective of this development is to recycle the purified eutectic medium of the pyroreprocessing, delaying its disposal for as long as possible. We have introduced the simple filtration method to remove the rare earth element (REE) particles which were formed due to the conversion of REE chlorides to phosphates. Here, the iron phosphate glass is used as a filtration medium for the removal of FP particles. However, some soluble FP such as compounds of alkali-metals, alkaline-earth metals, etc. still remain in the eutectic medium. This time around, on an experimental basis, the iron phosphate glass has been used as a sorbent instead, to remove the soluble FP. We have obtained some positive results and have intention to incorporate it into the spent electrolyte recycle process as a part of the FP separation and immobilization system.

and its mixtures with alkali and alkaline earth chlorides has been investigated by using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and molecular dynamics (MD) techniques. New experimental methods allow observations at the La K-absorption edge at the high temperatures of interest and the ability of the technique to obtain reliable information even at very low La concentrations in multi-component mixtures is demonstrated. Both the mean La-Cl interionic separation and the mean La coordination number are found to decrease as the concentration of La in the mixture decreases. In dilute mixtures with such cations La is able to adopt a very stable octahedral coordination geometry but this is inhibited by the presence of more strongly coordinating cations like Li
and Mg

Measurement of fuel ion density ratio, 
/
, is required for burning control on ITER. The measured / ratio must be fed back in real time. A neutron measurement system to measure / should be operable at high counting rate. It is estimated that the number of emitted DT neutrons is 200 times higher than that of DD neutrons under the condition of ITER standard operation. A neutron measurement system was developed using a DT/DD generator, where DT neutrons are dominant and DD neutrons are contaminated slightly in the neutron beam. The measurement instrument was a TOF spectrometer. Signals originating from each neutron must be distinguished in order to measure the fuel ratio. We developed a circuit system with discrimination windows to distinguish each signal pulse, and DT and DD neutrons were measured separately and simultaneously with this system. The experimental result indicates a possibility that this system is suitable for measurement of fuel ion density ratio on ITER.

core-level X-ray absorption. XMCD signals appear at x

While the monotonic increase of the XMCD signals with x is of a typical Stoner-type, the absence of appreciable change in the spectral line shapes of both the Ru 3 and O 1 XMCD spectra indicate that the itinerant-electron ferromagnetism in CaSrRuO is influenced by strong electron correlation.

The results showed that -FeOOH was formed on the outer side of wet corrosion products formed on the pure iron by sodium chloride solution, while -FeOOH, 
-FeOOH, FeO
, and green rusts were formed on the inner side. In comparison to the case of the pure iron, a significant formation of 
-FeOOH was observed in the iron-silicon alloy. Furthermore, in-situ diffraction measurements by a conventional X-ray source were conducted for analyzing corrosion products formed on the pure iron and iron-silicon alloy surfaces by cyclic exposure to wet and dry atmospheres. The results obtained by the diffraction and 
diffraction measurements on the corrosion products were consistent.

CaRuO
and the bandwidth-control system SmBiRuO, which show insulator-to-metal transition with increasing Ca and Bi concentration, respectively. Core levels and the O 2 valence band in SmCaRuO show almost the same amount of monotonous upward energy shifts with Ca concentration, which indicates that the chemical potential is shifted downward due to hole doping. The Ru 4
band in SmCaRuO is also shifted toward the Fermi level (
) with hole doping and the density of states (DOS) at increases. The core levels in SmBiRuO, on the other hand, do not show clear energy shifts except for the Ru 3 core level, whose line shape change also reflects the increase of metallic screening with Bi concentration. We observe pronounced spectral weight transfer from the incoherent to the coherent parts of the Ru 
band with Bi concentration, which is expected for a bandwidth-control Mott-Hubbard system. The increase of the DOS at is more abrupt in the bandwidth-control SmBiRuO than in the filling-control SmCaRuO, in accordance with a recent theoretical prediction. Effects of charge transfer between the Bi 6
band and the Ru 4 band are also discussed.
