The relationship between the CO radical intensity and the absorbed dose (dose response curve) of tooth enamel of Japanese macaque was observed by electron spin resonance and the detection limit of our system was estimated to be 33.5 mGy, which is comparable to the detection limit for human molar teeth. Using the dose response curve, external exposure dose for seven wild Japanese macaques captured in Fukushima prefecture were examined. The results suggest that the external exposure dose for the wild Japanese macaques were ranged between 45 mGy to 300 mGy.

Particle transport Monte Carlo codes such as PHITS, FLUKA and so on are used for radiation safety design of high energy accelerators. The validity of code is confirmed by comparison with many experimental data. In this study, we report proton, deuteron, and triton production double differential cross sections (DDXs) from a graphite target by 290 MeV/nucleon Ar ions. The measured spectra are compared with those calculated by PHITS and FLUKA codes.

The separation of heat-generating nuclide (Cs) from high-level liquid wastes is important in relation to the waste volume reduction. The present paper deals with the preparation of Cs-selective ion-exchangers (silica gels loaded with ammonium molybdophosphate, AMP-SG), uptake properties and characterization. The AMP-SG exhibited large distribution coefficient above 10 cm/g for Cs even in the 2-3 M HNO solution. The uptake isotherm of Cs followed a Langmuir-type equation, and the maximum Cs capacity was 0.24 mmol/g. The breakthrough curves of Cs had S-shaped profile, and the 94% of Cs adsorbed on the AMP-SG column was eluted with 5 M NHNO - 1 M HNO solution. The eluent containing ammonium salt is suitable for both the recovery of Cs and the regeneration of AMP-SG. The precise chromatographic separation of Cs and Rb was also accomplished by using mixed solutions of NHNO and HNO.

We have succeeded in growing a high-quality single crystal of a non-4 reference compound YCuSi for a heavy-fermion superconductor CeCuSi, and observed the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation. The detected dHvA branches in YCuSi indicate that the Fermi surfaces are multiply connected, and the dHvA frequencies are in the range from 9 to 2 Oe. These dHvA branches are found to be well explained by the results of energy band calculations. The corresponding cyclotron masses are light, ranging from 0.4 to 1.5 , and are consistent with the electronic specific heat coefficient of 2.2 mJ/Kmol.

While CT scan is useful for diagnosis, exposure dose derived from CT scan is relatively high. Therefore, it is important to manage patient doses and to prevent the excess exposures in young patients. JAEA developed the CT dose calculator, WAZA-ARIv2 under the collaboration research project with the National Institute of Radiological Sciences and the Oita University of Nursing and Health Sciences. In WAZA-ARIv2, users can accurately calculate exposure doses through the browser under consideration of patients information about sexes, ages (0y, 1y, 5y, 10y, 15y and adult) and fatness (small, large and extra-large body sizes). The functions of registration and database compilation of CT scan conditions and patient doses are newly added to a WAZA-ARIv2. Users can compare the distribution of patient doses in Japan with those in user's medical institution. Therefore, it will be expected that WAZA-ARIv2 can contribute the management and optimization of patients doses due to CT scan.
