Research activities of JAERI related to the CTBT verification regime are presented in the International Conference. The subjects of this presentation are (1) an overview of the CTBT verification regime, (2) construction and operation of the radionuclide monitoring stations of Okinawa (RN37) and Takasaki (RN38) and the certified radionuclide laboratory (RL11), and (3) preparation of the National Data Center at Tokai (JAERI NDC) for radionuclide data. The RN38 station has been certified by the CTBTO/PrepCom and sending the measured data every day. The infrastructures and operational manuals for RN37 and RL11 are now preparing for their operations. The JAERI NDC has experimentally analyzed and evaluated the radionuclide data from all over the world through International Data Center (IDC). As an example of the JAERI NDC works, atmospheric dispersion backtracking system has been developing by using WSPEEDI (Worldwide Version of System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information) code to estimate a source location of radionuclide release by nuclear explosion/accident.

The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) has developed the National Data Center (NDC) for radionuclide as part of the international monitoring regime related to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). JAERI NDC already started to input gamma-ray spectrum data obtained from several International Monitoring System (IMS) stations into a database. Data analysis reports made by the International Data Center (IDC) are also stored in the database. Some software tools are under development for the NDC's independent analysis such as investigation of existence of the radionuclides derived from nuclear explosion and presumptive analysis of source location of radionuclide release. The NDC system will also be able to post IMS data and analysis results to the authorized users on the Internet. This paper presents the role, current state of system development and future plan of JAERI NDC.

The Comprehensive nuclear Test-Ban Treaty(CTBT) bans all nuclear explosions and also calls for a verification regime, which consists of the International Monitoring System(IMS) and On-site Inspection. The primary objectives of the IMS are to deter nuclear explosions in all environments and, if such an explosion does occur, to detect, locate, and identify its source. The CTBT was opened for signature on September 24, 1996 and the Preparatory Commission(PrepCom) for the CTBT Organization was established to prepare for the verification regime in order to monitor compliance with the Treaty. The Preparatory Commission comprises two main organs: a plenary body of all the States Signatories as the highest policy-making organ, and the Provisional Technical Secretariat(PTS). The plenary body has three subsidiary bodies: Working Group A(administrative matters and legal issues), Working Group B(verification issues), and an Advisory Group. This paper presents an overview and mandate of the PrepCom, and status of verification regime, and discusses future activities.

The International Monitoring System (IMS) will be established across the world to verify compliance with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The IMS will be capable of detecting and identifying nuclear explosions of detonated within the atmosphere, underwater and underground. 321 monitoring stations will be set around the world as a monitoring network of the IMS. The four technologies of seismology, hydroacoustic, infrasound, and radionuclide will be used for monitoring purposes. In order to build the radionuclide monitoring network, 80 radionuclide stations were chosen. Particles in the atmosphere are collected on a filter at each station to measure radioactivity by a HP-Ge detector. Further, 40 out of these 80 stations will be equipped with an automatic radioactive noble gas sampler/analyzer. The JAERI is establishing infrastructure to host radionuclide air monitoring equipment for two raionuclide stations in Japan. This paper presents the current status of the establishment and promising performance of the stations in Japan.

The WG has translated the "Practical Guidance for Engagement with the Public on Radiation and Risk" ("IRPA Guidance") issued by the International Radiation Protection Association ("IRPA") to its member societies in 2020. "The content of the IRPA guidance was presented at a symposium organized by the Health Physics Society of Japan in June 2020. The content of the IRPA guidance was presented at the Health Physics Society planning symposium held in June 2020, where many experts attended and provided feedback. In this planning session, we will focus on public engagement and related specific examples and situations related to public engagement.

Since the Karl Fischer method generates waste liquid containing organic solvents, its disposal method is an issue in nuclear facilities. A solution containing an organic solvent was put into a nitric acid solution containing metal ions, and then decomposed by an electrochemical method and ultrasonic waves to mineralize it. In this presentation, the correlation between the type of metal ions and processing speed, and the correlation between the amount of solution containing organic solvent and processing speed will be reported.

Performance evaluation models for engineered barriers and estimation methods for radionuclide migration parameters have been developed to establish a method of long-term safety assessment for geological disposal simulating a variety of environmental conditions of deep underground in Japan. In order to make the safety assessment more systematic and reasonable, the parameters used in radionuclide migration analysis should reflect spatially and temporally changeable conditions of the engineered barriers. Moreover, the changeable conditions should be quantified based on the calculation in which models and parameters for the barrier materials are systematically linked with each other. In this study, a sequence of the systemized procedure was configured and was tested to pick out parameters having significant influence to the safety function of the buffer material from results of long-term performance analysis on engineered barrier system.

This working group has been translating into Japanese the publication "Practical Guidance for Engagement with the Public on Radiation and Risk" by IRPA in 2020. This publication was made with the theme of public understanding, which was one of key issues that the consultation by IRPA to its member societies identified as most necessary in the radiation protection system. The translated guidance is supposed to be distributed to radiation protection experts and relevant communities in Japan who may be interested in public understanding. The purpose of this symposium is to share the working progress and important points of the guidance.
