平成26年度の高崎量子応用研究所の線照射施設及び電子加速器の運転状況を報告する。線照射施設はおおむね順調に稼働したが、電子加速器は34年間にわたる稼働による経年劣化のために、主に放電による故障が頻発し、約5ヶ月間停止した。線照射施設第1棟,第2棟及び食品照射棟の年間運転時間は、各19,907時間、13,831時間及び7,293時間で、電子加速器では746時間であった。線照射施設では2.22PBqの新線源を5本補充し、20本の古い線源を処分した。電子加速器では、前述の故障に対してその都度適切に対処をしたが、完全な修復には至っていない。

This paper reports on the operation status of the -ray irradiation facilities and the electron accelerator in fiscal 2014 at the Takasaki Advanced Radiation Research Institute of JAEA. The -ray irradiation facilities were operated smoothly, whereas the electron accelerator stopped for five months because of successive troubles of discharge due to deterioration of equipment over thirty-four years. The annual operation times of the -ray irradiation facilities of the first, second and food buildings were 19,907, 13,831 and 7,293 hours, respectively, and that of the electron accelerator was 746 hours. The -ray irradiation facilities were replenished with new five sources of 2.22 PBq, and twenty old sources were removed for disposal. The electron accelerator was repaired for each trouble, however, the complete recovery has not yet been achieved.
