We have studied the confirmation method for the termination of decommissioning of nuclear facilities based on the site release flow presented at the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) study team meeting in 2017, and organized it as a procedure for the site soil. First, the effects of radionuclides released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident are excluded as background radioactivity, and the distribution of radioactivity concentration of facility origin on the site is evaluated using geostatistical method kriging. Then, considering the downstream transport of sediment by surface runoff generated by rainfall that exceeds the infiltration capacity of the ground surface, a series of evaluation procedures are presented to evaluate the exposure dose reflecting future changes from the evaluated radioactivity concentration distribution, and a comparison method with the assumed 0.01 mSv/y as a dose criterion is proposed. Furthermore, an example of the procedure for evaluating the distribution of contamination in the subsurface was also presented for the case where groundwater is affected.
