Development of Containment Vessels Repair Method (PDF:371KB) 1. Purpose of Research & Development ① If the boundary functions of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and Primary Containment Vessel (PCV) are lost, we must repair PCV to reconstruct the boundary, and fill PCV inside and RPV with water to take out core fuel. The vicinity of PCV is under high dose and has narrow spaces. Moreover, PCV lower part (suppression chamber) is flooded. The technology to repair the damaged area under such environments has not been established. We must develop the equipment and the technique to repair PCV under the high dose, narrow spaces and underwater environments. 2. Details of Research & Development ② 1. Development of Repair method ・Survey existing technologies required to repair the leakage of the containment vessel under the environment such as high dose, narrow and underwater / air, and develop optimal repair method. 2. Development of Repair equipment ・Develop the elemental technologies and remote control technology necessary for repair containment in the environment, such as water / air, narrow, high-dose, based on the developed repair method, design and fabricate the repair equipments in combination with existing technology, and conduct mock-up testing. 3. Evaluation of Applicability for actual plant and improvements of equipment ・Apply repair equipment to the actual plant and make sure that the equipment can repair in the environment, such as water / air, narrow and high dose.

  • Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey
    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

  • Display's the Thing: the Real Stakes in the Conflict Over High Resolution Displays
    Display's the Thing: The Real Stakes in the Conflict Over High Resolution Displays Jeffrey Hart and Michael Borrus (c) Copyright Hart and Borrus 1992 I. Display's the Thing: The Real Stakes In the Conflict Over High- Resolution Displays In Akira Kurasawa's film _Rashomon_, several witnesses to a murder tell the story of what they saw. Despite viewing the same event, the witnesses' stories are radically different, so much so that the event itself is ultimately called into question. So has it been with the debate over the next generation of high- resolution video technology. Some look and see a bigger and better television set (high-definition television or HDTV), but usually dismiss what they see as economically (though perhaps not politically) insignificant.1 Others look and see a significant component technology (high-resolution displays or HRD) beginning to pervade a wide variety of electronic systems. They recognize in displays a technological kinship to silicon chips -- an industry with potential strategic significance for commercial and military applications. But the conflict of perspectives should not, as it did in _Rashomon_, cast doubt on the event. The high-resolution display industry is a symbol of a major transformation underway in electronics: that is, the emergence of new component, machinery, and materials technologies driven by commercial, high-volume, integrated micro-systems applications and controlled increasingly by a few integrated producers located outside the United States. This paper argues that the industrial and geographic concentration of the sourcing, development, production, and integration of electronics technologies and systems in Asia portends new patterns of industrial constraint and opportunity, with significant economic and military implications.
