Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Chemistry, Analytical)Technetium-99m (
Tc) is the most widely used medical radioisotope in the world and is produced from molybdenum-99 (Mo). Production of Mo via the neutron capture method draws attention as an alternative to fission-derived Mo due to non-proliferation issues, but the specific radioactivity of Mo is extremely low. In this work, a porous -MoO wire was prepared as an irradiation target in order to improve the specific activity by extracting Mo. Porous -MoO wire is synthesized from Mo metal wire by a two-step heating procedure. The hot atom effect of Mo was confirmed by activity and isotope measurements of the porous -MoO wire after neutron irradiation and the water used for extraction. In term of the extraction effectiveness, the effectiveness of Mo extraction in the porous -MoO wire was comparable to that of commercial -MoO powder.

FUGEN is 9 m outer-diameter and 7m height, and characterized by its tube-cluster construction that contains 224 fuel channels arranging both the pressure and the calandria tubes coaxially in each channel. And the periphery part of the core has the laminated structure composed of up to 150 mm thickness of carbon steel for radiation shielding. The structure of the reactor, which is made of various materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, zirconium alloy and aluminum. The reactor is planning to be dismantled under water in order to shield the radiation ray around the core and prevent airborne dust generated by the cutting, the temporary pool structure and the remote-operated dismantling machines needs to be installed on the top of reactor. In consideration of above the structure of Fugen reactor, the cutting method was selected for dismantling the reactor core in order to shorten the dismantling term and reduce the secondary waste.

Times Cited Count：35 Percentile：77.9(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Protein nanowires exhibiting specific biological activities hold promise for interacting with living cells and controlling and predicting biological responses such as apoptosis, endocytosis and cell adhesion. Here we report the result of the interaction of a single high-energy charged particle with protein molecules. Degradation of the human serum albumin nanowires was examined using trypsin. The biotinylated human serum albumin nanowires bound avidin, demonstrating the high affinity of the nanowires. Human serum albumin-avidin hybrid nanowires were also fabricated from a solid state mixture and exhibited good mechanical strength. The biotinylated human serum albumin nanowires can be transformed into nanowires exhibiting a biological function such as avidin-biotinyl interactions and peroxidase activity. The present technique is a versatile platform for functionalizing the surface of any protein molecule with an extremely large surface area.

A precise alignment of accelerator components is essential for the J-PARC linear accelerator. The wire position sensor is applied to measure the accelerator component positioning and the ground motion of the building is measured by the hydrostatic leveling sensors. In this paper, the scheme of the alignment system is presented.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：28.47(Polymer Science)Ion track membranes of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) are applied to the production of anisotropically conducting films possessing copper wires of less than sub-micron in diameter. The membranes possessing cylindrical pores of 1.9 
m and 200 nm in diameter were prepared by irradiation of 
Xe
ion beams followed by etching in an aqueous NaOH. Copper wires were deposited into the pores by electrochemical plating in aqueous copper sulfate solution to prepare the PET/Cu hybrid membranes. The copper wires with 1.9 m in diameter showed wavelike surface roughness, resulting from the roughness of the pore side wall, whereas the copper wires with 200 nm in diameter showed smooth surfaces. The resistances of the membranes measured by a four terminal resistance method are in good agreement with the calculated values, indicating that the hybrid membranes possess conductivity perpendicular to the membrane surfaces but not parallel to the surfaces.

In May, 1999, disassembly and cleansing of sodium residues contained in the large cold trap (50MWSG) were carried out. Two cold trap units, one from the primary sodium loop and the other from the for the secondary sodium loop were disassembled and cleaned. This report describes the procedures, methods, and tasks under taken in the clean-up effort, including countermeasures for safe handling of sodium. The disassembly of the cold trap was based an information regarding similar cleansing activities external to JNC. There was also same a priori knowledge of the type and amount of sodium-laden residues. As this result, we conducted disassembly and cleansing task as provisionally planned. In fact we learned that disassembly methods for the specific components could be conducted in an aerated atmosphere. We thus gained additional disassembly and sodium cleansing experience under manageable and safe conditions.

To improve and validate the prediction accuracy of two - phase codes, Japan Atomic Energy Agency is working on the measurement of void faction distribution in rod bundles with using wire mesh sensors, under high pressure and high temperature conditions (2MPa, 212
C). The test section is a 44 rod bundle, in which two three - layer 99 wire mesh sensors are installed at two different axial positions. As the first step of the experiment, to validate the measuring system, we performed experiments in water - air system under atmospheric pressure, with using water and air flow rates as parameters. Void fraction distributions in the sub-channels of the rod bundle were derived in a wide flow pattern from bubbly flow to slug flow. The water flow rate, from the viewpoint of considering the natural circulation after reactor scrum, was lower than 600 kg/m
s. The data will be used to validate the void fraction correlations and two-phase evaluation codes.
