An experimental slope is made to investigate the characteristics of a wheelchair running on a passenger ship. The angle of the slope is changed from 0 to 10 degrees. The table size is 5.5m x 5.5m for the wheelchair running.

Experimental Slope

Seakeeping and manoeuvrability experiments using self-propelled free running model ships controlled by radio are carried out at this basin(dimensions:80m X 80m X 4.5m deep). Wave generators and an ultrasonic detecting system for determining model ships positions enhance the caliber of this facility.

80m Square Tank

In this shielding laboratory, shielding experiments are carried out to evaluate shielding ability of resin, serpentine concrete, and water with boron with a neutron source 252Cf and also of spent fuel transportable interim cask models with a neutron source 252Cf and a gamma-ray source 60Co. The experimental data includes not only neutrons and primary gamma rays but also secondary gamma rays produced by the capture of thermal neutrons. Accordingly, in order to improve the evaluation contents, the results of the experiment are analyzed by using the continuous energy Monte Carlo code MCNP, in detail.
