We, the radiation control section of JNC have had two important experiences on the JCO critical accident and the JNC fire-explosion accident. Especially, at the critical accident in JCO, it was essential to take an action on the radiation protection activities for the evacuated neighboring inhabitants to the safety area. During the accident, we carried out the radiation protection activities, at the beginning of the accident, environmental monitoring of the surrounding area. Especially for the JCO accident, we took an action to terminate criticality, radiation shielding and monitoring, environmental monitoring, radiation survey of the residents, radiation monitoring of exhaust air.
