In contamination inspections for public in nuclear emergency, it is assumed that a large number of motor vehicles and evacuees will be inspected. At present, first measurement points of vehicles are tires and around a wiper, and they are basically inspected by persons using portable radiation surface contamination meters such as GM survey meters. However, in order to efficiently inspect contamination of vehicles, utilization of portable radiation portal monitors is being considered for the inspection. In this study, examination of performance of the portal monitor was conducted in order to obtain basic data. In this examinations, sealed radiation sources, 
Ba, were substituted for the contamination of Operational Intervention Level 4 (OIL4), the evaluation criteria to conduct simple decontamination in the contamination inspection. The radiation source was attached practically to a tire and around the wipers of a vehicle, and the counting rate of 
-rays from the radiation sources was measured using the portal monitor. Three examinations were conducted: static examination with a vehicle stationary, moving examination to mock the actual inspection, and high back ground examination to investigate performance of the equipment in high back ground environment. The vehicle mainly used in the experiments was a sedan, which is generally used as standard vehicles. And, a van whose front body is like that of a bus was used at this experiment. In addition, the "Gamma Pole" manufactured by the Chiyoda Technol Corporation was used as the portal monitor. As the result, it was estimated that the case of contamination equivalent to 40,000 cpm, the default value of the OIL4, deposited on the tread on a vehicle tire, when the vehicle passes through the portal monitor at 10 km/h or less, the contamination would be detected with a probability of 99% or more. Similarly, when the contamination deposited on around the wipers and the vehicle speed is 5 km/h or less,

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：26.71(Instruments & Instrumentation)It has been reported that heavy ion irradiation causes softening in some cases of Zr-based bulk metallic glass alloys. However, the fundamental mechanisms of such softening have not been clarified yet. In this study, ZrCuAl bulk glassy alloys were irradiated with heavy ions of 10 MeV I at room temperature. Positron annihilation measurements have performed before and after irradiation to investigate changes in free volume. We discuss the relationship between the energy loss and local open volume change after 10 MeV I irradiation compared with those obtained for 200 MeV Xe and 5 MeV Al. The energy loss analysis in ion irradiation for the positron lifetime has revealed that the decreasing trend of positron lifetime is well expressed as a function of total electronic energy deposition rather than total elastic energy deposition. It means that the positron lifetime change by the irradiation has a relationship with the inelastic collisions with electrons during heavy ion irradiation.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been developing databases of sorption and diffusion parameters in buffer material and rock, which are key parameters for safety assessment of the geological disposal. The new web-based sorption and diffusion database system (JAEA-SDB/DDB) has been developed to utilize quality assuring procedure and to allow effective application for parameter setting, based on the existing database. In the present report, practical examples were illustrated regarding the applicability of the database system to the parameter setting by using additional functions such as QA information and parameter estimation. This database system is expected to make it possible to obtain quick overview of the available data from the database, and to have suitable access to the respective data for parameter-setting for performance assessment and parameter-deriving for mechanistic modeling in traceable and transparence manner.

In the present report, a first test and illustration was performed regarding the applicability of the JNC-SDB to the derivation of K-values for Th, Np, Cs, and Se valid for Horonobe rocks. The original experimental data selected from the JNC-SDB were converted to the application conditions using the semi-quantitative scaling procedures. To illustrate the effect of the scaling procedures, and of related uncertainties, on the magnitude of the derived K-values, scaling procedures taking into account mineralogy as well as surface and solution speciation were applied sequentially, and all results were discussed in detail. This K-setting exercise allowed to predict the magnitude of K values under the in-situ conditions, however the availability of experimental data that closely match the application conditions is limited for some reasons.

Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) has developed the sorption database (JNC-SDB) for bentonite and rocks in order to estimating a retardation capacity of important radioactive elements on natural barrier and engineered barrier in the H12 report. The database includes distribution coefficient (K
) of important radionuclides. And JNC collected the sorption data from 1998 to 2003. In this report, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) widely collected the sorption data in order to extend and update the sorption database. The updated database includes the published data which are not registered in the sorption database. In this updated JNC-SDB, 3,205 sorption data for 23 elements, which are important for performance assessment were included. The frequency of K for some elements was clearly shown by addition of the sorption data.

Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) has developed a sorption database for bentonite and rocks in order to assess the retardation property of important radioactive elements in natural and engineered barriers in the H12 report. However, there are not enough distribution coefficient data for some radioactive elements in the database. Thus the batch sorption tests for tuff and granodiorite were performed for Samarium (Sm) in synthesized sea water and distilled water under reducing conditions. For Samarium, there are little registration numbers of JNC database and it is important element for performance assessment of HLW disposal system. The results of the experiments are summarized below;(1)Kd for tuff were approximately 0.6 m
/kg in rock - distilled water leachate (Eh=-320 - -270mV) adjusted to pH 7 after 10000 MWCO filtration.(2)Kd for tuff were approximately 0.4 m/kg in rock - synthesized sea water leachate (Eh=-304 - -265mV) adjusted to pH 7 after 10000 MWCO filtration.(3)Kd for granodiorite at 1 week were approximately 3.9 m/kg in rock - distilled water leachate (Eh=-279 - -242mV) adjusted to pH 9 after 10000 MWCO filtration. Kd had a tendency to rise with time in the period of 1 week through 4 week.(4)Kd for granodiorite at 1 week were approximately 0.3 m/kg in rock - synthesized sea water leachate (Eh=-237 - -206mV) adjusted to pH 9 after 10000 MWCO filtration. Kd had a tendency to rise with time in the period of 1 week through 4 week.

Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) has developed the sorption database for dentonite and rocks in order to assess the retardation capacities of important radioactive elements in natural and engineered barriers in the H12 report. However, there are not enough distribution coefficient data for radioactive elements in saline type groundwater in the database. Thus the batch sorption tests were performed for uranium(U) and thorium(Th) in saline type groundwater. For these elements, there are little registration numbers in the JNC's sorption database, and also these elements are important to evaluate the safety of disposal system. The experiments for each radioactive element were performed on the following conditions; *U:Kd measurements using the solutions (synthesized sea water and distilled water) reacted with sand stone as a function of carbonate concentration, under reducing conditions. *Th:Kd measurements using the solutions (synthesized sea water and distilled water) reacted with sand stone.
