In the case of a nuclear accident or a radiological emergency, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), as a designated public corporation assigned in the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act and the Armed Attack Situation Response Law, undertakes technical supports to the national government and local governments. The JAEA is requested to support to evaluate radiation doses to residents in a nuclear emergency, which is specified in the Basic Disaster Management Plan and the Nuclear Emergency Response Manual. For the dose evaluation, however, its strategy, target, method, structure and so on have not been determined either specifically or in detail. This report describes the results of investigation and consideration discussed in the "Working Group for Radiation Dose Evaluation at a Nuclear Emergency" established within the Nuclear Emergency Assistance and Training Center to discuss technical supports for radiation dose evaluation to residents in the case of a nuclear emergency, and aims at contributing to specific and detailed discussion and activities in the future for the national government and local governments, also within the JAEA.

The excitation function of the Li(,n)B reaction was measured while identifying the final state event by event in the region of E = 0.7 - 2.6 MeV using a highly efficient detector system and a low-energy Li beam. The results are much improved both in statistics and precisions, and show smaller cross sections than those of previous measurements by a factor of more than 2 in the low-energy region of E 1.5 MeV. A resonance-like structure is found at around E = 0.85 MeV.

Thanks to the nature of inverse transfer-reactions, low-energy radioactive nuclear beams in light neutron-rich region were produced. The mass-separation and velocity-separation of the JAERI recoil mass-separator help to form high purity beams. The beams of Li, B, and N-RNBs are utilized to the experiments, so far, with those beam intensities and purities of 1.410 pps and 99, 7.810 pps and 98, and 4.710 pps and 98.5, respectively.

At JAEA-tandem accelerator facility, we can produce radioactive nuclei by means of proton induced uranium fission, heavy ion fusion or transfer reaction. Since TRIAC was opened for use in 2005, we have provided RNBs of fission products and Li. For the production of Li, we chose C (Li, Li) neutron transfer reaction by Li primary beam and a 99% enriched C sintered disk target. The release time of Li ions from the C sintered target/ion source system was measured to be 3.2 s. We are developing the RNB of Li (T=178 ms) but the long release time caused a significant loss of the beam intensity. A boron nitride target which has fast release of Li is developed for Li beam with intensity of 10 pps after separation by JAEA-ISOL.

Indium(In) and gallium(Ga) are important elements used in displays and semiconductors. However, In and Ga are extremely rare metals that are contained in trace amounts in zinc(Zn) mines. A technology for selectively separating and recovering trace amounts of In and Ga from Zn mines has been desired. We developed a new extractant, nitriloacetic acid diamide ligand (TONAADA), and investigated the extraction and separation of In and Ga from a simulated Zn mines (a mixed aqueous solution of Zn, Al, In, and Ga). As a result, the high selectivity of TONAADA was shown in the order of In Ga Zn Al, and it was clarified that In and Ga can be separated and recovered from Zn and Al in a single extraction. In addition, single-crystal X-ray diffraction demonstrated that In and TONAADA form a 1:2 complex.
