Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 200(16-18), p.1660 - 1665, 2024/11
Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Environmental Sciences)In this work, we evaluated the applicability of hydroxyapatite, which is a main component of tooth enamel, as individual dosimeters that can detect from less than 1 Gy to several tens Gy. Commercially available hydroxyapatite was irradiated by 
Co gamma-ray up to 75 Gy and ESR spectrum of the irradiated sample was observed. The relationship between the intensity of produced carbonated radical and the absorbed dose shows a good linearity (
) from 0 to 75 Gy. The detection limit of this samples was estimated to be 99.7 mGy, and the radical intensity do not change for eight month from the irradiation. These results suggest that this sample can be used as a candidate of the individual dosimeter.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Environmental Sciences)We have examined dosimetric characteristics of bio-inspired carbonated hydroxyapatite (CO
HAp), which is a main component of calcified tissues like tooth enamel. COHAp powder samples were exposed to gamma-ray with radiation doses ranging from 1 Gy to 1000 Gy at room temperature, and ESR spectra were measured immediately after irradiation and subsequently measured each 1 day during 90 days. The post-irradiation fading resulted in significant 20% decay of the signal amplitude, which stabilised within 7 days after irradiation, and the intensity approached a constant. The sample has good linear dose response in the experiment range of 10 Gy - 1000 Gy. Our results indicate that the COHAp materials is suitable for chemical dosimetry.

The stagnant water in the reactor building at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F) is exposed to the radiation from fuel debris and radioactive species. This water contains much amounts of impurities from the seawater which was injected in the emergency cooling. The impurities will affect the radiolysis and corrosive conditions in the water under irradiation. So, the water radiolysis data, corrosion data of steels under irradiations, and the evaluated potential impacts of corrosion in the decommissioning process of 1F are arranged as the database for corrosion under irradiation. This paper introduces the outline of this database.

In the implement of the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F), there are many problems to be solved. Specially, the mitigation of the aging degradation by the corrosion of the structural materials is important to implement the decommissioning safely and continuously. However, there are limited data for the environmental factors of corrosion in 1F, and the condition of 1F is continuously changing. So, the literature data for the water radiolysis and the corrosion under irradiation are listed as the database of corrosion under irradiation in this report. And the new obtained radiolysis and corrosion data, which have not been reported in the literature and will be required in the decommissioning of 1F, are reported.

To evaluate the effect of oxidants, which are formed by radiolysis of water under gamma ray irradiation, on the corrosion of a carbon steel in humid environment, ozone was introduced as a model oxidant in to humidity-controlled air at 50
C in a thermo-hygrostat chamber. Corrosion monitoring was performed by using an Atmospheric Corrosion Monitor-type (ACM) sensor consisting of a carbon steel anode and an Ag cathode. The output current of the ACM sensor was increased with the increase in relative humidity and it was obviously increased with the increase in the introduced ozone concentration at each relative humidity. The results indicate that ozone accelerates the corrosion of the carbon steel. The effect of ozone on the corrosion acceleration is attributed to the fast reduction reaction and fast dissolution reaction in to water compared to that of oxygen.

This paper reports on the operation status of the -ray irradiation facilities and the electron accelerator in fiscal 2014 at the Takasaki Advanced Radiation Research Institute of JAEA. The -ray irradiation facilities were operated smoothly, whereas the electron accelerator stopped for five months because of successive troubles of discharge due to deterioration of equipment over thirty-four years. The annual operation times of the -ray irradiation facilities of the first, second and food buildings were 19,907, 13,831 and 7,293 hours, respectively, and that of the electron accelerator was 746 hours. The -ray irradiation facilities were replenished with new five sources of 2.22 PBq, and twenty old sources were removed for disposal. The electron accelerator was repaired for each trouble, however, the complete recovery has not yet been achieved.

Applications of alanine dosimeter are widen to dosimetry in space environment and so on. The effect of temperature during and after irradiation between 20C and 80C on the dose response of alanine dosimeters was investigated under low dose of about 10 - 20 Gy and long time of about 100 hours irradiations. When a stable component of the dose response under high irradiation temperature is estimated on the basis of the effect of storage temperature after irradiation taking into account the known irradiation temperature coefficient, dose evaluation using alanine dosimeter should be more accurate even suffering from combined temperature effects during and after irradiation.
