We are developing portable non-destructive testing (NDT) X-ray source with X-band linac and low power magnetron. Now, we start the experiment of electron acceleration and X-ray generation using by 950 keV X-band linac NDT system. The 950 keV X-band linac X-ray generator is under development for corrosion wastage of tubes and condition bas ed maintenance of impeller pumps. However, about 1 MeV X-ray source can be only used for thin tubes of about 20 mm thickness. Therefore, we start to design about 4 MeV X-...

The cause of corrosion occurred in a glove box filter casing and its repair technique

In the new regulation formulated after the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, it is demanded that the glove box consists of incombustible or noncombustible materials. However, combustible acryl materials are used for many glove boxes installed in nuclear fuel cycle facilities. In this work, the glove box acryl panel has been replaced to incombustible material with accordance to the new regulation. The new panels have been manufactured by polycarbonate which satisfied the UL94 V-0 incombusti...

Replacement of the Glove Box Panel in Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Facility

Chloroprene rubber gaskets are often used to seal the glove box body and its panels. Such gaskets are deformed with compressive pressure and its elastic restoring force keeps sealing property. Therefore, gaskets play an important role in glove box sealing. However, physical properties of those used in glove box have not reported so far. In this study, hardness, elongation, tensile strength and compression set are investigated and its sealing performances are evaluated. The gaskets samples are taken fro...

Our portable X-band (9.3GHz) 950KeV linac has been successfully upgraded. The problems of RF power oscillation , beam current oscillation and reduction and finally lack of X-ray intensity were solved by replacing the axia l coupling cavities with the side-coupled ones. Designed X-ray dose rate of 0.05 Sv/min@lm is going to be achi eved. Length of the accelerating tube is reduced to less than 25 cm. X-ray source part with the local radiation shielding is connected by the flexible waveguide with the box of t...

Study on Portable X-band 950keV linac X-ray Sourcefor On-site Nondestructive Inspection

The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc. decided to decommission Unit 1(460 MW) at Shimane Nuclear Power Station on March 18, 2015 and the plant ended commercial operation on April 30 of the same year. After drawing up a concrete decommissioning plan, we submitted it for approval to the Nuclear Regulatory Authority on July 4, 2016. The plan was approved on April 19, 2017, and we are now at the stage of decommissioning the plant. This report outlines the decommissioning plan and the status of decommissioning wor...

In order to solve the problems of the thickness measurement, we have developed a thin-film UT sensor having excellent high-temperature durability and conformability in thin film form. In this paper, it was confirmed that the accuracy of thickness measurement for both complex geometries and plates at high-temperature was equivalent to the accuracy of conventional thickness measurement methods. It was also confirmed that the durability at high temperature and for temperature change in the actual equipmen...
