The online survey after the accident had 721 respondents consisting of 406 males and 315 females. The two online surveys about the attitude toward nuclear power plants consisted of 37 items, such as the necessity of nuclear power plants, the reliability of safety, and government confidence. As a result, respondents of the online surveys in China consider that nuclear energy is more important than the anxiety of accident. On the other hand, women have sensation of fear for the accident of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants and radiation.","PeriodicalId":121793,"journal":{"name":"Insights Concerning the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident Vol. 4","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124074418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation of hydrogen production by water radiolysis during the process is important for a safe operation. Thus, hydrogen production from the mixture of zeolite and seawater was studied by γ-radiolysis experiment, and the hydrogen production during the process was evaluated. The measured yield of hydrogen from seawater was comparable to the primary yield in the γ-radiolysis of water. This result indicates that oxidation of hydrogen by radical products of water radiolysis is not effective in seawater. The measured yield from the mixture decreased at a high weight fraction of zeolite. However, the measured yield was higher than that expected from the direct radiolysis of water in the mixture, which would decrease proportionally to the weight fraction of water. This result suggests that the radiation energy deposited on zeolite is involved in hydrogen formation. From the measured yields, the hydrogen production rate was evaluated to be 3.6 mL/h per ton of radioactive water before the process and 1.5 L/h per ton of the waste adsorbent after the process.","PeriodicalId":121793,"journal":{"name":"Insights Concerning the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident Vol. 4","volume":"03 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129961706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is difficult to estimate the behaviors of several phenomena in reactor accidents, such as the melting and relocation of structural materials, the spreading of corium on the ground, and the molten core concrete interaction (MCCI), because they involve large changes of the geometry. In the present study, a new method was developed to simulate these phenomena by using a moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method with models for surface tension, rigid bodies, melting and freezing, heat conduction, interfacial heat transfer, and heat radiation. As benchmarks, the melting of a metal cylinder on a hot plate and the freezing of a molten metallic drop in a coolant are simulated. The characteristic behaviors in each experiment agreed well with the simulation results, which indicates that the developed method is applicable for simulation to evaluate the behavior of corium in severe reactor accidents.","PeriodicalId":121793,"journal":{"name":"Insights Concerning the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident Vol. 4","volume":"15 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131550244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
