Environmental radiation monitoring around the Tokai Reprocessing Plant has been performed by the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories, based on "Safety Regulations for the Reprocessing Plant of Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Chapter IV - Environmental Monitoring". This annual report presents the results of the environmental monitoring and the dose estimation to the hypothetical inhabitant due to the radioactivity discharged from the plant to the atmosphere and the sea during April 2021 to March 2022. In this report, some data include the influence of the accidental release from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. (the trade name was changed to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. on April 1, 2016) in March 2011. Appendices present comprehensive information, such as monitoring programs, monitoring methods, monitoring results and their trends, meteorological data and discharged radioactive wastes. In addition, the data which were influenced by the accidental release and exceeded the normal range of fluctuation in the monitoring, were evaluated.

A collapse event of a cooling tower for secondary cooling system in the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) was caused by the strong winds of Typhoon No.15 on September 9, 2019. As measures against the event, the working group for the renewal of the UCL (Utility Cooling Loop) cooling tower was established in the department of JMTR, and the integrity of the UCL cooling tower, which is the same type of wooden cooling tower as the secondary cooling tower in the JMTR, was investigated. As a result of this investigation, we have decided to replace the existing UCL cooling tower with a new cooling system. After investigations, in order to reduce the risk of collapse due to wood decay, the new cooling system was installed as a component of the air system to be managed as a performance maintenance facility after decommissioning. This report describes the design of and the evaluation results of the facility.

A collapse event of the cooling tower of secondary cooling system in the JMTR (Japan Materials Testing Reactor) was caused by the strong wind of Typhoon No.15 on September 9, 2019. The cause of the collapse of the cooling tower was investigated and analyzed. As the result, it was identified that four causes occurred in combination. Thus, the soundness of the cooling tower of Utility Cooling Loop (UCL cooling tower), which is a wooden cooling tower installed at the same period as the cooling tower of secondary cooling system, was investigated. The items of soundness survey are to grasp the operation conditions of the UCL cooling tower, to confirm the degradation of structural materials, the inspection items and inspection status of the UCL cooling tower, and to investigate the past meteorological data. As the results of soundness survey of the UCL cooling tower, the improvement of inspection items of the UCL cooling tower was carried out and the replacement and repair of the structural materials of the UCL cooling tower were planned for safe maintenance and management of this facility. And the renewal plan of new cooling tower was created to replace the existing UCL cooling tower. This report is summarized the soundness survey of the UCL cooling tower.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:73.58(Physics, Nuclear)The structures of the neutron-rich Co isotopes were investigated via (
) knockout reactions at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory, RIKEN. Level schemes were reconstructed using the
coincidence technique, with tentative spin-parity assignments based on the measured inclusive and exclusive cross sections. Comparison with shell-model calculations suggests coexistence of spherical and deformed shapes at low excitation energies in the
Co isotopes.

The meteorological observation has been performed since 1969's in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories, JAEA after 1974. The meteorological observation data has been applied for the calculation of the atmospheric diffusion of radioactive wastes since the hot run was started 1977. This report presents statistical results of meteorological observation based on the decadal data from fiscal year 2005 to 2015. The characteristics of atmospheric diffusion related to the meteorological parameter are also discussed in this report.

A composite-type optical fiberscope was combined with a laser processing head to repair heat exchange pipes of Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR). The head can rotate axially and move back and forth longitudinally in the 1-inch pipes. The property of fiberscope and the motion of the head can successfully observe the pipe's inner surface to find the cracks which should be repaired by laser welding. The project, which aims for developing the integrated system of inspection and repair, proposes an effective cost reduction for maintenance of FBRs by extension of the heat exchanger's lifetime. This report describes the outline of the laser processing head and the basic performance.

In order to maintain FBR heat exchanger tubes, a new probe system was designed. A coupling unit and operational software are key components in the second year. The coupling unit to combine a high energy laser beam and optical fiberscope images was developed. The operational software successfully controlled an eddy current testing device and a laser processing head.
