To support inspections under an Integrated Safeguards regime into Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP), the IAEA suggested making use of Remote Monitoring (RM) capabilities to the inspection equipment (surveillance camera and NDA systems) installed in the spent fuel storage area at TRP. Since the spent fuel storage area in TRP did not have pre-prepared cabling infrastructure for data transmission, the option of wireless LAN was chosen over the telephone line due to its lower installation costs. Feasibility studies and tests were performed by TRP on communication and particularly on long-term continuous communication using wireless LAN equipment (AP: Access Point) and an external antenna for introducing wireless LAN technology to RM. As a result it was recognized that wireless LAN has enough ability to communicate for long periods of time and consequently the IAEA installed AP and an external antenna to each inspection equipment and the wireless LAN technology was applied for RM.

Tokai Reprocessing Center has developed method of determination of Pu contained in low activity solid wastes (LASWs), to make better accountancy control. Our final goal is to estimate of Pu amounts in wastes generated in TRP. Some of small size wastes (carton-boxes) and drums from TRP was measured by some kind of non-destructive assay system. It was found that high dose wastes have slight amounts of Pu. However, because some of wastes from TRP have Cm, the wastes could not be measured exactly. Near future, JAEA will try upgrading or development of NDA system, and determination of Pu amount of wastes from TRP.

Regarding the Integrated Safeguards (IS) for JNC-1 site where includes facilities of the Reprocessing Center and so on, its discussion for application started in March 2004 between the government of Japan and IAEA, and it has been introduced in August 2008. With IS for JNC-1, for the purpose of improvement of deterrence of the nuclear material diversion, the traditional interim inventory verification (IIV) has changed to random interim inspection with short notice (RII.) The Tokai Reprocessing Center consists of TRP and PCDF, and has nuclear materials from the spent fuel to the MOX powder. The IIV needed about 5 person-days for TRP and about 7 person-days for PCDF. It was discussed to make RII procedure that makes it possible to perform such short notice inspection and reduce the person-days by about 2 per a RII. After the introduction of RII, the person-days are decreased even though the operators' work loads for information provision are increased.

Regarding the Integrated Safeguards (IS) for JNC-1 site where includes six facilities of the Reprocessing Center and MOX fuel fabrication facilities and so on, its discussion for application started in June 2004 between the government of Japan and IAEA, its concept was agreed in November 2006, and it has been introduced in August 2008. With IS for JNC-1, for the purpose of improvement of deterrence of the nuclear material diversion, the traditional interim inventory verification (IIV) that had been implemented as scheduled previously has changed to random interim inspection with short notice (RII.)The Tokai Reprocessing Center consists of 2 facilities; TRP and PCDF, and has nuclear materials from the spent fuel to the MOX powder. The IIV needed about 5 person-days for TRP and about 7 person-days for PCDF. It was discussed to make RII procedure that makes it possible to perform such short notice inspection and reduce the person-days by about 2 per a RII. Although it was discussed that what and how frequently information was provided to inspectors in order them to make a plan to implement RIIs. After the introduction of RII, the person-days are decreased even though the operators' work loads for information provision are increased. This paper reports development of the method, experience and expected effectiveness regarding RII to the Tokai Reprocessing Center in the viewpoint of its operator.
