JAEA has been performing dose rate mapping in air using a car-borne survey system KURAMA-II. The KURAMA system is a GPS-aided mobile radiation monitoring system that has been newly developed by Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute in response to the nuclear disaster. The KURAMA system is composed of an energy-compensated scintillation survey meter for measuring dose rate, electric device for controlling both the dose rates and the position data from a GPS module, a computer server for processing and analyzing data from KURAMA, and client PCs for providing for end users. The KURAMA-II has been improved in small-packaging, durability, and automated data transmission. In consequence, dose rate mapping in wide area has become possible in shorter period of time. This report describes the construction of KURAMA-II, its application and a suggestion of how to manage a large number of KURAMA-II.

Dismantling activities of equipments in JAERI's Reprocessing Test Facility (JRTF) started from 1996 as a part of decommissioning of this facility. The large liquid waste storage tank LV-2 is scheduled to remove out as a whole tank without cutting in pieces from the annex building B to confirm safety and efficiency of this method from 2006. Before removal of the LV-2 tank, some preparatory works were carried out such as opening of concrete wall (LV-2 room) for the entrance of workers and materials, removal of pipes connected to the LV-2 tank, and decontamination of radioactive sludge in the LV-2 tank. Useful data were collected on manpower, radiation control and waste amount through the preparatory works, and work efficiency was analyzed by use of these data. It was compared manpower between core boring and hand-breaker crushing activities in the concrete wall opening work. It was also confirmed that local exposure of worker could be reduced in large extent by an addition of vinyl chloride cover on worker's ventilated suit.

Dry wire-saw technology was applied for removal of penetrating pipes in annex building B of JAEA's reprocessing test facility (JRTF) and concrete blocks with penetrating pipes were successfully removed. The concrete block was cracked by a silent demolition agent and was easily separated into concrete and pipes by the secondary crushing by use of a hand-breaker. Effectiveness of the dry wire-saw technology for removal of penetrating pipes was discussed and evaluated based on various work data obtained in the present activity. The use of silent demolition agent was found to be very effective for the secondary crushing of concrete blocks and its charging condition into concrete was established so as to give effective cracks for the secondary crushing. As a result of this activity, it was confirmed that the dry wire-saw technology coupled with use of a silent demolition agent was one of hopeful candidates to remove penetrating pipes safely and effectively in reprocessing facilities.

We have obtained the ratio of transverse diffusion coeffcient to mobility of electrons multiplied by the elementary charge, in Xe and Xe+H $_{2}$ under electric fields at a higher pressure of 1 MPa in comparison with preceding experiments. The result shows that the density effect (non-linear effect) of the ratio in both of pure Xe and Xe+H $_{2}$ is 15% below 1 MPa over the reduced electric field range from 0.08 to 0.610 $^{-17}$ Vcm $^{2}$ . We also found that the diffusion of an electron swarm is suppressed by adding trace of hydrogen to high-pressure xenon gas. Discussion is made of Xe+H $_{2}$ gas to a new -ray camera. Trace of hydrogen to high-pressure xenon gas. Discussion is made of Xe+H $_{2}$ gas to a new -ray camera.
