Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：49.17(Instruments & Instrumentation)JAEA-AMS-TONO has been in operation at the Tono Geoscience Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency since 1998 and 20 years have passed from the beginning of its utilization. The AMS system is a versatile system based on a 5 MV tandem Pelletron type accelerator. The system has been used to measure carbon-14 (
C), beryllium-10 (
Be) and aluminium-26 (
Al). In addition, the development of measurement of iodine-129 (
I) has been started. The main use is measurement of C in geological samples for dating studies in neotectonics and hydrogeology. In order to increase the speed of sample preparation, we introduced the automated graphitization equipment and made a gas-strip line to collect dissolved inorganic carbon in groundwater samples. Measurement of Be and Al has been used for geoscience studies and the detection limit in the measurement of Be was improved by 
Be-counting suppression. Recently tuning of measurement condition of I has been progressed.

AMS is widely used for radiocarbon dating of geological samples. However, improvement in efficiency of sample preparation techniques are needed for high-time resolution dataset. In 2016, automated graphitization equipment (AGE3, IonPlus AG) has been installed in Toki Research Institute of Isotope Geology and Geochronology, Tono Geoscience Center, JAEA. Background values and carbon recovery rates during preparation process of AGE3 should be estimated before application in radiocarbon dating. In this study, the AGE3 system was evaluated using the international standard materials (IAEA-C1, C4, C5, C6, C7, C9 and NIST-SRM4990C) at JAEA-AMS-TONO. Graphite samples was prepared by the AGE3 system and radiocarbon concentration of these standards was measured by AMS. The results were agreement with the consensus values. Background values were 0.15
0.01 pMC (IAEA-C1) using the AGE3 system. Therefore, we concluded that the system can be adapted for radiocarbon dating of geological samples.

Radiocarbon dating using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) was performed on Gramineae spp. seeds and a wood trunk collected from layers of IVb and Vb at the trench 1 of Emon site. After counting of number of tree rings of the trunk, 5 rings containing the outermost layer and the innermost one were cut to obtain wiggle-matched calibrated ages. In JAEA-AMS-TONO, graphite were made from the seeds and the rings and then their carbon isotope ratios were measured by AMS to obtain radiocarbon date. Calendar ages were calculated from the radiocarbon dates. Calendar ages of two seeds collected from the IVb layer were ranged between century of 15 and 17. That of the outermost layer of the trunk was about 1300 calAD, which was older than those of the seeds. On the other hand, those of the seeds collected from the Vb layer were 14 century.
