We performed the disruption simulation using DINA code to investigate the effect of the electron temperature 
on the plasma current decay after the initial phase of current quench (CQ). In this calculation, we used the measured profile during the initial phase of CQ. After the initial phase of CQ, we assumed that the profile does not change in time and used the value at the end of the initial phase of current quench because profile could not be measured after the initial phase of CQ. From the simulation results, it was found that the time evolution of plasma current calculated by DINA was similar to experimental one in this calculation. However, the time evolution of profile in this calculation was different from the measured profile because Te after first mini-collapse rapidly decreased until the value below a measurement limit (less than 0.1 keV). Moreover, the time evolution of poloidal cross-section S calculated by DINA code was rapidly decreased although the experimental one was gradually decreased. The plasma current decay during the disruption is determined by various parameters, 
, and S. It is necessary to evaluate the effect of profile on the plasma current decay after the initial phase of CQ by using various assumed model and DINA code.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：57.19(Nuclear Science & Technology)A new concept of the high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is proposed as a challenge to assure no event sequences to the harmful release of radioactive materials even when the design extension conditions (DECs) occur by deterministic approach based on the inherent safety features of the HTGR. The air/water ingress accident, one of the DECs for the HTGR, is prevented by additional measures (e.g. facility for suppression to air ingress). With regard to the core design, it is important to prevent recriticality accidents by keeping the geometry of the fuel rod which consists of the graphite sleeve, fuel compact and SiC-TRISO (TRIstructural-ISOtropic) coated fuel particle, and by improving the oxidation resistance of the graphite when air/water ingress accidents occur. Therefore, it is planned to develop the oxidation-resistant graphite, which is coated with gradient SiC layer. It is also planned that the experimental identification of the condition to form the stable oxide layer (SiO
) for SiC layer on the oxidation-resistant graphite and on the SiC-TRISO fuel. This paper describes the R&D plan for un-irradiation and irradiation test under simulating air/water ingress accident condition to develop oxidation-resistant graphite and to investigate the oxidation behavior of SiC coated fuel particle.

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：15.46(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)In JT-60U disruption, the plasma current decay during the initial phase of current quench has been calculated by a disruption simulation code (DINA) using the measured electron temperature profile. In the case of fast plasma current decay, has a peaked profile just after thermal quench and the profile doesn't change significantly during the initial phase of current quench. On the other hand, in the case of the slow plasma current decay, the profile is border just after the thermal quench, and the profile shrinks. The results of DINA simulation show that plasma internal inductance 
increases during the initial phase of current quench, while plasma external inductance 
does not change in time. The increase of is caused by current diffusion toward the core plasma due to the decrease of in intermediate and edge regions. It is suggested that an additional heating in the plasma periphery region has the effect of slowing down plasma current decay.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：8.92(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)According to an early work on the behavior of the plasma current decay in the JT-60U disruptive discharges caused by the radiative collapse with a massive neon-gas-puff, the increase of the internal inductance mainly determined the current decay time of plasma current during the initial phase of current quench. To investigate what determines the increase of the internal inductance, we focus attention on the relationship between the electron temperature (or the resistivity) profile and the time evolution of the current density profile, and carry out numerical calculations. As a result, we find the reason of the increase of the internal inductance: The current density profile at the start of the current quench is broader than an expected current density profile in the steady state, which is determined by the temperature (or resistivity) profile. The current density profile evolves into peaked one and the internal inductance is increasing.

A new concept of the High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR), so-called the Naturally Safe HTGR, is proposed as a challenge to assure no event sequences to the harmful release of radioactive materials even when the design extension conditions such as the air/water ingress accidents occur by deterministic approach based on the inherent safety features of the HTGR. For the Naturally Safe HTGR it is important to prevent recriticality accidents by keeping the geometry of the fuel rod which consists of the graphite sleeve, fuel compact and SiC-TRISO coated fuel particle, and by improving the oxidation resistance of the graphite when air/water ingress accidents occur. This paper describes the R&D plan for un-irradiation and irradiation test under simulating air/water ingress accident condition to develop oxidation-resistant graphite and to investigate the oxidation behavior of SiC coated fuel particle.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：49.7(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.
