Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) operates two beamlines with different energy ranges, i.e., hard X-ray and soft X-ray ranges, at the synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8. Both beamlines are installed in Radioisotope Laboratory (RI Lab.), which is specialized for measurements of radioactive materials, and JAEA is promoting actinide science combined with advanced experimental techniques using synchrotron radiation there. In order to contribute the decommissioning of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (1F), JAEA plans to analyze the chemical properties of fuel debris from 1F at the JAEA beamlines in SPring-8. In addition, JAEA participates in Advanced Research infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology in Japan, which is the project of MEXT of Japan. In this project, JAEA belongs to the research area of innovative energy conversion materials, and is planning especially to promote research for effective utilization of radiation from radioactive waste as energy.
