We require reliable nuclear data that can appropriately evaluate the radiation characteristics of fuel debris for the purpose such as development of new sensors, non-destructive assay technologies and optimization of radiation shielding. In the past, even if different results were obtained depending on calculation codes, it was difficult to clarify what caused the differences. To overcome it, we have developed a new reliable code to calculate radiation decay and radioactive source spectra that can accurately treat with large amounts of nuclides and all decay modes in the decay data file. As the first step, we compared the photon spectra of fuel debris by using the recent decay data files: JENDL/DDF-2015, decay sub-libraries of ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JEFF-3.3. In the presentation, we will report requests for the modifications on the decay scheme and branching ratio of decay mode for the next JENDL decay data file.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:19.27(Chemistry, Physical)In this work, when radiation sources of Cs,
Sr and
Y were assumed to be put in the front of a plain SUS304 plate as a typical material submerged in water, energy spectra of secondary photons and electrons at the front and back sides of plate were simulated with changing the thickness of plate, and spacing between the source and plate by using a Monte Carlo calculation code of PHITS. In the case of
Cs gamma-ray (monochromatic 662 keV), the energy spectra at the front side was smaller than those at the back side due to the existence of plate. Then the dependence of spectra on the plate thickness was observed more clearly at the back side than at the front side. It was clearly shown how the energy spectra of photons and electrons varied with the incident radiation type, the spacing, and the thickness.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:10.33(Nuclear Science & Technology)The gamma-scanning of SDS (submerged demineralizer system) vessel used as a typical vessel for decontamination of radioactive water at Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) accident was simulated in the axial and radial directions of real and cylindrical-shaped vessels by using a Monte Carlo calculation code (PHITS) on the basis of the geometrical and compositional information of vessel and gamma-scanning available in the previous reports at the accident. In the axial simulation, the true distribution of radioactive Cs in the zeolite packed bed of vessel was successfully evaluated when a correction function derived from a virtual constant distribution of
Cs was applied to the reported gamma-scanning profile. In the radial simulation, the virtual disk-formed and shell-formed sources of
Cs displaced in the packed bed were clearly observed from the top and bottom views of vessel. This new radial gamma-scanning indicates that the radial localization of
Cs could be well observed by measuring gamma-ray from the top view of vessel during storage. We further examined the radial gamma-scanning from the side view whether the radial localization of
Cs can be confirmed in the normally existing gamma-scanning room or not.

This report is summary of study on environmental radioactivity effected from the accident at the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 5 years after the accident. It was compiled efforts related to the accident reported from the 13th to the 17th "Workshop on Environmental Radioactivity" which was held at the High Energy Accelerator Research and Development Organization.

Different from monochromatic photons such as Co-60 -rays, Bremsstrahlung and X-rays with continuous energies provide photons with different radiation quality (RQ) into water, dependent on the width of water layer. Since the photons with different RQ further give different primary yields (G-value) of water radiolysis, the effect of RQ (LET) on G-values would be important in experiments with photons with continuous energies. In this study, the experiments using X-rays simulating Bremsstrahlung from
-ray and secondary electrons were conducted with changing the tube voltage and water width to clarify the LET effect on the X-ray radiolysis of water.

Hydrogen gas generation in radiolysis of pure water or seawater coexisting with zeolite adsorbents has been investigated by using Co-60 -ray for hydrogen safety in decontamination of radioactive water after Fukushima Daiichi NPS accident. In this work, two types of void volumes present in the zeolite bed were paid attention microscopically, and the difference in water radiolysis between the volumes was considered. The oxygen generated by decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, as the counterpart of hydrogen molecule, contacting with the zeolites were also discussed.

Workshop on Environmental Radioactivity was established in 2000 and has been held every year on February or March at KEK, Tsukuba. The proceedings with peer review has been published after every workshop. After the accident at the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant occurred in 2011, large number of scientific reports related to the accident were presented in this workshop. Researchers, technicians, local government staff, and general citizens have participated in the workshop to exchange information on various subjects. The organizing members of the workshop summarized 326 reports in the workshop during 2012 to 2016 and related publications. The summary report was published as follows.
