JPDR解体実地試験で収集した作業者の被ばくに関するデータを分析し、その特徴をまとめた。この結果、作業者の被ばく線量は306人・mSvであり、個人の累積最大被ばく線量は8.5mSvであること、大部分の被ばくが放射化した機器(炉内構造物、原子炉圧力容器、生体遮へい体等)の解体作業で生じていること、作業者の被ばく線量分布は施設の保守作業と類似した混成対数正規分布になることなどが明らかになった。さらに、作業領域の線量当量率に応じて作業を3グループに分類し、それに基づき平均線量当量率に対する作業者の被ばく寄与割合を算出した。これらは、将来の商業用原子力発電所の解体における被ばく評価に重要な知見となるものである。

The data on worker dose in dismantling of the Japan Power Demonstration Reactor (JPDR) was analyzed to characterize its features. It was appeared from the study that the collective dose to the workers was 306 man-mSv, in which maximum individual dose was 8.5 mSv, almost all doses were received in the activities for dismantling of reactor internals, the reactor pressure vessel and the biological shield, and that the worker dose distribution was similar to that in the maintenanee of the facilities which was characterized by the hybrid log normal distribution model. Farthermore, it was found that the dismantling activities were categorized into three groups depending on dose rates in workplaces, then contribution factors for radiation exposure in terms of dose rates in different groups were derived based on the analysis. The study would be useful for estimation of worker dose in future decommissioning of commercial nuclear power plants in Japan.
