Times Cited Count:21 Percentile:90.78(Nuclear Science & Technology)A conceptual design of a practical large scale plant of the thermochemical water splitting iodine-sulfur (IS) process flowsheet was carried out as a heat application of JAEA's commercial high temperature gas cooled reactor GTHTR300C plant design. Innovative techniques proposed by JAEA were applied for improvement of hydrogen production thermal efficiency; depressurized flash concentration HSO using waste heat from Bunsen reaction, prevention of HSO vaporization from a distillation column by introduction of HSO solution from a flash bottom, and I condensation heat recovery in an HI distillation column. Hydrogen of about 31,900 Nm/h would be produced by 170 MW heat from the GTHTR300C. A thermal efficiency of 50.2% would be achievable with incorporation of the innovative techniques and high performance HI concentration and decomposition components and heat exchangers expected in future R&D.

The JAERI FEL has recently discovered the new FEL lasing of 255fs ultra fast pulse, 6-9% high-efficiency, one gigawatt high peak power, a few kilowatts average power, and wide tunability of medium and far infrared wavelength regions at the same time. Using the new lasing and energy-recovery linac technology, we could extend a more powerful and more efficient free-electron laser (FEL) than 10kW and 25%, respectively, for nuclear industry, pharmacy, medical, defense, shipbuilding, semiconductor industry, chemical industries, environmental sciences, space-debris, power beaming and so on. In order to realize such a tunable, highly-efficient, high average power, high peak power and ultra-short pulse FEL, we need the efficient and powerful FEL driven by the JAERI compact, stand-alone and zero boil-off super-conducting RF linac with an energy-recovery geometry. Our discussions on the FEL will cover the application of non-thermal peeling, cutting, and drilling to decommission the nuclear power plants, and to prevent stress-corrosion cracking in nuclear industry and roadmap for the industrial FELs, the JAERI compact, stand-alone and zero-boil-off cryostat concept and operational experience, the new, highly-efficient, high-power, and ultra fast pulse lasing mode, and the energy-recovery geometry.

Times Cited Count:28 Percentile:84.44(Instruments & Instrumentation)We succeeded in detecting neutrons using superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) fabricated on a single crystal of LiBO. Neutrons are captured in the crystal by the nuclear reactions Li + n T+ + 4.78 MeV and B + n Li + + 2.3 MeV, and generated phonons propagate in the absorber and are measured by the STJs. We selected a single crystal of LiBO as the absorber material because of properties such as the large neutron cross-section of Li and B, low -ray sensitivity, short particle range in the substrate, and fast phonon velocity. Series-connected or multiple STJs on the crystal would enable two-dimensional neutron imaging with high detection efficiency, low gamma-ray background, and a high spatial resolution of a few microns. We demonstrate neutron detection by the STJs and show their X-ray response and neutron detection. The correlation in pulse heights between two junctions located 1.3mm apart clearly indicates the possibility of neutron imaging.

The JAERI superconducting RF linac-based free-electron laser has successfully generated 6% highly-efficient, a few hundreds of femtosecond, and several kW class high power FEL light several years ago. In the presentation, it will be reprted that the JAERI plans to develop the higher power free-electron lasers and their application to large-scale non-thermal precision manufacturing technology.

Medical applications of Free-Electron Lasers(FELs), especially the FEL driven by a superconducting rf linac, look very promising because of the compactness, high efficiency, high power capability, tunability, ultra-short pulse width and so on. Here, the linac-based FEL is explained briefly and discussed all about the remarkable features and the road maps near future. Finally, some possible and usable applications of the FELs will be introduced and discussed in the relationship with the features above.

We have developed free-electron lasers driven by a superconducting rf linac to demonstrate a powerful and efficient FEL, and the prototype of the FEL has successfully lased to get 0.1kW as the world-strongest FEL average power in February 1998. Two years after the first lasing, the second world-records of ultra-fast pulse of 250fs, efficiency of 7%, and average and peak power of 2.34kW and 1GW at 22 micron have successfully been obtained using a well-improved FEL and superconducting rf linac driver. The breakthrough of ultra-short pulse, efficiency and power in FELs has been realized using the improved driver performance of high density current and high-quality acceleration, and a discovery of sustained superradiance FEL oscillation. Resultantly, we have been successfully able to demonstrate high-efficiency larger than the theoretical limit and ultra-fast pulse of 3.4cycles, and 250fs. In the text, the novel technology of FELs driven by a superconducting rf linac will be briefly reported.
