The present report summarizes the results of a 2-year cooperative study between JAEA and Hitachi-GE in order to contribute to the settlement of the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants which suffered from the severe accident on March 2011. In the present study, the possible scenarios to reach the recriticality events in Fukushima-Daiichi were investigated first. Then, the analytical methodology to evaluate the time-dependent recriticality events has been developed by modelling the reactivity insertion rate and the possible feedback according to the recriticality scenarios identified in the first step. The methodology developed here has been equipped as a transient simulation tool, PORCAS, which is operated on a multi-purpose platform for reactor analysis, MARBLE. Finally, the radiation exposure rates by the postulated recriticality events in Fukushima-Daiichi were approximately evaluated to estimate the impact to the public environment.

With the very promising potential of this material in mind, we have fabricated a (Ba,K)FeAs superconducting wire through a powder-in-tube method combined with the hot isostatic pressing technique, whose effectiveness has been proven in industrial Bi2223 tapes. The Jc in the wire at 4.2 K has reached 37 kA/cm under self-field and 3.0 kA/cm at 90 kOe. Magneto-optical imaging of the wire confirmed the large intergranular Jc in the wire core.

Beryllium has been utilized as a moderator and/or reflector in a number of material testing reactors. Beryllium is also supposed to be widely used in fusion reactors as neutron multiplier and protective walls of plasma facing components. It is important to perform the characterization of the different grade beryllium such as the productivity, mechanical and chemical properties and the interaction under water and/or gas environment. In this study, three kinds of beryllium (S-200F, S-65H, I-220H) were prepared, and corrosion test and surface analysis of these beryllium samples were carried out for life time expansion under pure water. As a result, the surface change of each Be sample was observed by the corrosion test and influenced by the content of BeO and the grain size.

The JMTR has used beryllium reflector since it began operation in 1968. Beryllium has been used as the reflector element material in the reactor, specifically S-200F structural grade beryllium in JMTR. As a part of the reactor upgrade, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has carried out the cooperation experiments to extend the operating lifetime of the beryllium reflector elements. Thus, three kinds of beryllium metals such as S-200F, S-65H and I-220H were selected at the viewpoints of production methods, impurities and grain size of beryllium starting powders, mechanical properties. Now, data of the material properties and interaction between pure water and these beryllium grades are accumulated under un-irradiated. Additionally, irradiation tests have been prepared and development of PIE technologies has been performed. In this paper, the results of various properties and irradiation test plan for lifetime expansion of beryllium are described for material testing reactors.

Times Cited Count:85 Percentile:93.2(Physics, Applied)Various kinds of energetic particles are irradiated into iron-based superconductors, and their effects on the critical current density and vortex dynamics have been systematically studied. It is found that is enhanced and vortex dynamics is strongly suppressed by energetic particles having a sufficient energy deposition rate, similar to the case of high temperature cuprate superconductors. The enhancement of , in general, persists up to much higher irradiation doses than in cuprates. However, details of the effect of irradiation depend on the kind of ion species and their energies. Even with the same ions and energies, the effect is not universal for different kinds of iron-based superconductors. The correlated nature of defects created by heavy-ion irradiation is confirmed by the angular dependence of irreversible magnetization.

In JMTR, beryllium metal is used for neutron reflector. However, the periodical exchange of the neutron reflector is necessary due to degradation of strength and swelling under neutron irradiation. So it is required to select the material that bears long term from the viewpoint of the utilization rate improvement and the radioactive waste decrease in JMTR. It is important to evaluate the characteristics of beryllium metals precisely. This report describes the preparation method of the sample and observation results by the transmission electron microscope that is being examined as a evaluation method of the beryllium metal.

The columnar defects with about 40% of the irradiation dose are confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Magneto-optical imaging and bulk magnetization measurements reveal strong enhancement of the critical current density in the irradiated region. The vortex creep rate is also strongly suppressed by the columnar defects. Effects of heavy-ion irradiation into Ba(FeCo)As and cuprate superconductors are compared.

The Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) has been refurbished to re-operate from 2011. As a part of the establishment of new irradiation facilities, technology development for the dismantling and removing of irradiation facilities such as OWL-1 (Oarai Water Loop No.1), OWL-2 (Oarai Water Loop No.2) and IASCC (Irradiation Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking) facility installed in the JMTR loop cubicles has been performed. By using developed methods, techniques for the dismantling and removing of the irradiation facilities were established.

The formation of columnar defects by 200 MeV Au ion irradiation is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and their density is about 40% of the irradiation dose. Magneto-optical imaging and bulk magnetization measurements reveal that the critical current density is enhanced in the 200 MeV Au and 800 MeV Xe ion irradiated samples while is unchanged in the 200 MeV Ni ion irradiated sample. We also find that vortex creep rates are strongly suppressed by the columnar defects. We compare the effect of heavy-ion irradiation into Co-doped BaFeAs and cuprate superconductors.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting R&D efforts for that. We are developing high-brightness DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting (SC) linacs, and 1.3 GHz high CW-power RF sources. We are also constructing the Compact ERL (cERL) for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using above-mentioned critical technologies.
