In Reactor Fuel Examination Facility, various post-irradiation examinations were performed regarding "the advanced light water reactor fuel performance and safety research program", and "the development of vessel material for spallation target of neutron scattering facility". In Waste Safety Testing Facility, various examinations were performed regarding the irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking behavior for nuclear power plant materials, corrosion properties for stainless steel against the dense uranyl solution, and properties of minor actinide bearing fuels. Since 2010, chemical analyses have been made by request at No.4 Research Laboratory, including maintenance of shared instruments and the technical assistance. In addition, the facility management was carried out of Research Hot Laboratory, No.1 Plutonium Laboratory, No.2 Research Laboratory, Analytical Chemistry Laboratory, Uranium Enrichment Laboratory, Simulation Test for Environmental Radionuclide Migration, Clean Laboratory for Environmental Analysis and Research, and Fuel Storage.

This document describes the activity record in the Department of Hot Laboratories and Facilities against the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake. This Part I includes the damage situations and the emergency activities on 11th March for the 11 nuclear facilities managed by the department. The subsequent activities, such as the repairs or restorations, are described in the Part II. Despite the enormous damages for some of these facilities, such as the Research Hot Laboratory or the Reactor Fuel Examination Facility, there was no victim or no release of the radioactive materials out to the facilities. It was the great deal of the periodic patrol for the safety and health which is based on the manual procedure for the earthquake countermeasures executed since 1st January 2011.

In Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station Unit-1 of Chubu Electric Power Company, a steam leak accident occurred with a pipe rupture. In order to investigate root cause of the pipe rupture, a task force was established within the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA). The JAERI was asked from NISA to cooperate as an independent neutral organization with NISA and perform an examination of the ruptured pipe. The JAERI examination group was formed at the Tokai Research Establishment and conducted some examinations of samples. In Dept. of Hot Laboratories, in order to respond the request of the investigation, the detailed program, various apparatuses, and technical staffs for the examinations are prepared. In this report, technical items in terms of contents of the examination, the used apparatuses, and techniques in three facilities in Dept. of Hot Laboratories (RFEF, RHL, and WASTEF) are summarized.
