For the application in the measurement of the high dose rate hot spots inside the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) buildings, we propose a novel one-dimensional radiation distribution sensing method using an optical fiber sensor based on wavelength spectrum unfolding. The proposed method estimates the incident position of radiation to the fiber by the unfolding of the wavelength spectrum output from the fiber edge using the fact that the attenuation length of light along the fiber depends on the wavelength. Because this method measures the integrated light intensity, this method can avoid the problem of counting loss and signal pile-up, which occurs in the radiation detector with pulse counting mode under high dose rate field. Through basic experiments using the ultraviolet light source and 
Sr/Y radioactive point source, basic properties of source position detection were confirmed.

After the nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant, research and development (R&D) program for establishing technical basis of accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) started from 2015 in Japan. Since then, both experimental and analytical studies necessary for designing a new light water reactor (LWR) core with ATF candidate materials are being conducted within the Japanese ATF R&D Consortium for implementing ATF to the existing LWRs, accompanying with various technological developments required. Until now, we have accumulated experimental data of the candidate materials by out-of-pile tests, developed fuel evaluation codes to apply to the ATF candidate materials, and evaluated fuel behavior simulating operational and accidental conditions by the developed codes. In this paper, the R&D progresses of the ATF candidate materials considered in Japan are reviewed based on the information available such as proceedings of international conference and academic papers, providing an overview of ATF program in Japan.

The Co-processing process is the extraction process to recover Pu/U mixed product solution with given Pu/U ratio for improving of nuclear proliferation resistance. In addition, Np is also recovered with U and Pu because Np is one of minor actinides and a long-lived radionuclide and Np has the extractability into TBP solvent. Development of its flowsheet achieves to decrease environmental effect of waste materials. The orientation of development about Co-processing process is to demonstrate of reprocessing the future spent fuels from a LWR, a LWR-MOX hybrid, and a FR-MOX with one cycle. We demonstrated by use of miniature reflux-type centrifugal contactors at the partitioning unit. The test conditions of the Pu/U ratio in the loaded solvents were 1%, 3%, and 5% considering the composition of spent fuels. We used the HAN as the reductant of Np (VI) for back extraction. The results of these tests were very good. We got the prospect of U, Pu, and Np Co-processing flowsheet.

In the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), exposures to fingertips can be significant in radiological decontamination at the facilities with mixture fields of beta and 
(X) rays. The radiation doses to fingertips have been measured by ring type dosemeters equipped with thermoluminescence dosemeters (TLD) in JAEA. We applied small Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) elements to the ring type dosemeter, which has the advantages in the use for long term and repeating in dose measurements comparing to the TLDs. In this report, we introduce the outline and the dose evaluation method of the new ring type dosimeter which we applied.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：56.67(Instruments & Instrumentation)A heavy-ion microbeam with energy of hundreds of MeV is utilized for research in biotechnology and materials science at the JAEA AVF cyclotron facility. Beam users need microbeams providing a wide range of linear energy transfer (LET). In order to vary LET widely, we have to change the ion species and/or energy. A cocktail beam acceleration technique is frequently used to change the ion species quickly. Ion species and energy can be changed by slightly shifting the acceleration frequency. The cocktail acceleration technique has been applied to microbeam production for quick change of ion species of a microbeam. As a result, we have succeeded to reduce considerably microbeam changing time to within 30 minutes between a 260 MeV Ne and a 520 MeV Ar. No deterioration of a microbeam spot size has been confirmed using a secondary electron microscope image of a copper mesh.

We have been improving the beam quality of the JAEA (Japan Atomic Energy Agency) AVF cyclotron to form a several-hundred-MeV heavy-ion microbeam by a magnetic focusing lens. An energy spread 
of the order of 10
, obtained by ordinary acceleration using a fundamental dee voltage, makes it difficult to focus an ion beam to a spot size of 1 
m in diameter with focusing lens because of the chromatic aberration. A flat-top acceleration system using the fifth-harmonic frequency of the acceleration frequency was installed in the cyclotron in order to reduce to the order of 10
. In addition, developments of a new center region, an energy spread measurement system using an analyzing magnet and a high performance beam buncher are in progress. The energy spread of the 260 MeV 
Ne
beam has been reduced to 0.05% by the flat-top acceleration, and the microbeam with a spot size of approximately 1 m has been successfully formed.

The attractive concepts for Sodium-, lead-bismuth-, helium- and water-cooled FBRs have been created through using typical plant features and employing advanced technologies. Efforts on evaluating technological prospects of feasibility have been paid for these concepts. Also, it was comfirmed if these concepts satisfy design requierments of capability and performance presumed in the feasibilty study on commertialization of Fast Breeder Reactor Systems. As results, it was concluded that the selection of sodium-cooled reactor was most rational for practical use of FBR technologies in 2015.
