  • As a participant taking part in the ITER TF conductor R&D program, we developed two toroidal field conductors with variations of conduit thickness resulting in the different void fraction of the conductors. The estimated void fractions of the conductors are 31% and 33%. In this paper we present the details of the TF conductor development and performance test results of them carried out by the measurement of current sharing temperature under cyclic loading. Regarding the conductor development, the internal-Sn-processed $Nb_3Sn$ strand characteristics, strand cabling, twist pitch and characteristics of the conduit materials are presented. For the understanding of the conductor design and performance, the conductor test results are presented and the effect of the conductor design parameters such as void fraction and twist pitch is discussed based on the results.

  • This study reflects on the subjects of tile papers published by Journal of Automation in Construction, which has focused on such fusion-technology research areas in civil engineering as robotics and automation and observed a growing number of papers and extensiveness of participation during the 2000-2006 periods. This paper provides a current perspective on technology-fusion research in civil engineering, as reflected in the journal of Automation in Construction. Journal of Automation in Construction (AIC) is intended to be of interest of industry personnel, government personnel and researcher in Information Technology (IT) and Automation research in civil engineering. This paper is intended to show a cross country comparison of technology-fusion research through analysis of papers. The research results show that there is a need to increase research collaboration between industry and academia, government and academia, and industry and government to advance the construction industry.

  • A novel deoC gene was identified from Paenibacillus sp. EA001 isolated from soil. The gene had an open reading frame (ORF) of 663 base pairs encoding a protein of 220 amino acids with a molecular mass of 24.5 kDa. The amino acid sequence was 79% identical to that of deoxyribose 5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) from Geobacillus sp. Y412MC10. The deoC gene encoding DERA was cloned into an expression vector and the protein was expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant DERA was purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and then characterized. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme were $50^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. The specific activity for the substrate deoxyribose 5-phosphate (DR5P) was $62\;{\mu}mol/min/mg$. The $K_m$ value for DR5P was determined to be 145 mM with the $k_{cat}$ value of $3.2{\times}10^2/s$ from Lineweaver-Burk plots. The EA001 DERA showed stability toward a high concentration of acetaldehyde (100 mM).

  • The ITER fuel cycle is designed for DT operation in equimolar ratio. It involves not only a group of fuelling system and torus cryo-pumping system of the exhaust gases through the divertor from the torus in tokamak plant, but also from the exhaust gas processing of the fusion effluent gas mixture connected to the hydrogen isotope separation in cryogenic distillation to the final safe storage & delivery of the hydrogen isotopes in tritium plant. Tritium plant system supplies deuterium and tritium from external sources and treats all tritiated fluids in ITER operation. Every operation and affairs is focused on the tritium inventory accountancy and the confinement. This paper describes the major fuel cycle processes and interfaces in the tritium plant in aspects of upcoming technologies for future hydrogen and/or hydrogen isotope utilization.
