Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：59.12(Environmental Sciences)In this study, we created the integrated radiation air dose rate maps in the Fukushima region during 2011-2022 using multiple types of surveys such as air-borne, car-borne and walk surveys as well as fixed-location measurements. We applied the Bayesian geostatistical method developed by Wainwright et al. (2017, 2019) to the 80 km radius of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and the whole of Fukushima Prefecture while considering the history of the lifting of the evacuation zone in Fukushima. The integrated maps fixed the bias to underestimate air dose rates in forest areas, and successfully created more reproducible integrated maps with a wider area and time series than the previous studies. It is highly expected that the results of this study will be used to evaluate detailed exposure doses to the general public.

In the future, radioactive wastes which generated from research and testing reactors in Japan Atomic Energy Agency are planning to be buried for the near surface disposal. Therefore, it is required to establish the method to evaluate the radioactivity concentrations of radioactive wastes by the time it starts disposal. In order to contribute to this work, we collected and analyzed the samples generated from JRR-2, JRR-3 and Hot laboratory facilities. In this report, we summarized the radioactivity concentrations of 25 radionuclides (

Fugen Nuclear Power Station was shut down and now is under decommissioning. Many radioactivity concentration data of dismantled materials have to be accumulated to calculate the scaling factors of radioactive wastes and to verify that the cleared dismantled materials conform to the clearance levels. A simple and rapid radioactivity determination method for radioactive waste samples was developed by Department of Decommissioning and Waste Management. For its demonstration, the simple and rapid radioactivity determination method was applied to metal samples, which were taken from dismantled pipes in contact with heavy water or carbon dioxide gas of Fugen. This report summarizes the radioactivity data obtained from the analysis of those samples.

In this study, based on the simple and rapid analytical method established from the wastes from research facilities, we created analytical schemes which is applicable to rubble and plants collected at Fukushima Daiichi, then transported to Nuclear Science Research Institute of JAEA. We examined the applicability, and confirmed quantifiability of radioactivity concentration with high recovery rate without being affected by fission products such as Sr and Cs.

A 500-kV photocathode DC electron gun which can supply the beam of a low emittance and a high average current has been developed in collaboration with KEK, JAEA, Hiroshima Univ., Nagoya Univ. and Yamaguchi Univ. The vacuum of the gun chamber has to be lower Extreme High Vacuum for maintain cathode-life time. A titanium chamber and new material of ceramic were employed to reduce outgassing rate. The result of outgassing rate of the gun chamber is described in this report.

Future synchrotron light source using a 5-GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) is under proposal by our Japanese collaboration team, and we are conducting R&D efforts for that. We are developing high-brightness DC photocathode guns, two types of cryomodules for both injector and main superconducting (SC) linacs, and 1.3 GHz high CW-power RF sources. We are also constructing the Compact ERL (cERL) for demonstrating the recirculation of low-emittance, high-current beams using above-mentioned critical technologies.

One of dominant factors to determine the lifetime of components used under the high-radiation environment is the radiation damage of materials and then understanding of the radiation damage is very important. Although ion irradiation has been conducted as the method simulating the radiation damage, the damaged area is limited to the surface layer of the specimen and has the gradient damage distribution. Micro-indentation tests with a Berkovich indenter were conducted in irradiated and unirradiated area on ion irradiated specimens and the micro-hardness was estimated from load and depth curve. The micro-hardness increased by the irradiation. The micro-hardness increased further under the irradiation condition that hydrogen ion and helium ion were added. On the other hand, the micro-hardness decreased with increasing irradiated temperature.

After the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been conducting joint environmental radiation monitoring with foreign research institutes and ministries that have nuclear power plants. JAEA and KAERI have conducted joint walking and carborne surveys in the vicinity of FDNPS in 2018, 2019, and 2022. The results of the surveys confirmed that the mean and median of the relative deviations of the air dose rates measured by KAERI to those measured by JAEA were close to zero for both methods, indicating that the air dose rates of the two institutions were in good agreement. Factors contributing to the uncertainty in air dose rates include the accuracy of the horizontal positioning information of the GPS units of the two institutions and the difference in the interval of data acquisition. By comparing air dose rates obtained from different measurement devices in each country, we were able to confirm the characteristics and validity of air dose rate measurement methods in each country.

Appricability of tritium and CFCs as an tracer of shallow water infiltration into deep was evaluated at Mizunami underground reserach laboratory. The observation results show that the infiltration of shallow water increases with time. Especially CFCs is avairable tracer for groundwater with the residence time of several tens years.
