Abstract

This neutron irradiation apparatus (100) has: an introduction pipe (1) for introducing a proton beam; a target structure (2) provided at the bottom of the introduction pipe (1); an aluminum fluoride layer (3) disposed at a site that is under the target structure (2) and that is in an irradiation route which neutrons generated from the target structure (2) pass through; and a heavy water layer (4) disposed on the undersurface of the aluminum fluoride layer (3). The thickness of the aluminum fluoride layer (3) is set so as to increase the number of epithermal neutrons. In a case where the number of epithermal neutrons is increased by the aluminum fluoride layer (3) alone, the aluminum fluoride layer (3) must have too large a thickness. In the apparatus (100), therefore, heavy water is disposed. This heavy water can quickly moderate neutrons and thus increase the number of epithermal neutrons without any increase in the thickness. By virtue of a combination of the aluminum fluoride layer (3) and the heavy water layer (4), only fast neutrons can be attenuated to increase the number of epithermal neutrons without any increase in the number of thermal neutrons. Thus, a neutron flux comprising many epithermal neutrons can be obtained.

Abstract

An electromagnetic pump (100) includes in a housing (1), a stainless steel outer cylinder (2), a stainless steel inner cylinder (3) arranged inside the outer cylinder (2), and an electromagnetic coil (4) arranged around the outer cylinder (2). The outer cylinder (2) is formed into a frustum shape as a whole with a large-diameter entrance and a small-diameter exit. Similarly, the inner cylinder (3) has a large-diameter entrance and a small-diameter exit. A duct (5) is formed between the outer cylinder (2) and the inner cylinder (3). The duct (5) has a large radial cross-sectional area at the entrance and a small radial cross-sectional area at the exit. The electromagnetic pump (100) has a large cross-sectional area for the entrance of the duct (5), and thus the flow rate of liquid metal decreases at the entrance, thereby sufficiently minimizing the pressure loss, which overall works to prevent the generation of cavitation in the electromagnetic pump (100). Accordingly, the height of loop piping can be reduced and there is no need to secure the height of the loop piping depending on the circumstances, and thus the device can be made compact.
