Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Instruments & Instrumentation)The number of nuclear facilities being decommissioned has been increasing worldwide, in particular following the accident of the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings' Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in 2011. In these nuclear facilities, proper management of radioactive materials is required. Then, A -ray spectrometer with four segmentations using small volume CeBr
scintillators with a dimension of 
was developed. The four scintillators were coupled to a multi-anode photomultiplier tube specific to intense radiation fields. We performed the -ray exposure study under Cs and Co radiation fields. Under the Cs radiation field, the relative energy resolution at 1375 mSv/h was the relative energy resolution at 1375 mSv/h was 9.2
0.05%, 8.00.08%, 8.0
0.03%, and 9.00.04% for the four channels, respectively.

Times Cited Count：12 Percentile：84.34(Instruments & Instrumentation)An increasing number of nuclear facilities have been decommissioned worldwide following the 2011 accident of the TEPCO' Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. During the decommissioning, radioactive materials have to be retrieved under proper management. In this study, a small cubic CeBr spectrometer with dimensions of 5 mm 
5 mm 5 mm was manufactured to perform -ray spectroscopy under intense -ray fields. Furthermore, thanks to a fast digital process unit and a customized photomultiplier, the device could perform -ray spectroscopy at dose rates of over 1 Sv/h. The energy resolution (FWHM) at 662 keV ranged from 4.4% at 22 mSv/h to 5.2% at 1407 mSv/h for a Cs radiation field. Correspondingly, at 1333 keV, it ranged from 3.1% at 26 mSv/h to 4.2% at 2221 mSv/h for a Co radiation field, which suggested to realize -ray assessment of 
Cs, Cs, Co, and 
Eu at dose rates of over 1 Sv/h.

The retrieval of the nuclear fuel debris, which is the substance including melted nuclear fuel and structural materials, will be started from fiscal 2021. Then, as a non-destructive analysis technology of the nuclear fuel debris, a -ray spectroscopy system is being developed to measure high energy rays due to Eu and nuclear reactions under high dose rate, which was composed of a CeBr cubic, photomultiplier tube, and fast signal processing unit. This presentation reports that the exposure study of the detector system was performed for a 
Co field at the dose rates of up to 750 mSv/h, and the detector response was investigated at each dose rate.

The retrieval of nuclear fuel debris will be started at Tokyo Electrical Power Company Holdings' Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Because of high dose-rate fields on the surface of nuclear fuel debris and these inhomogeneous elements, non-destructive analysis is required during the retrieval. Here, it is presented that a -ray spectrometry system specific to high dose-rate fields was developed and its performance under intense -ray fields was evaluated for the retrieval of nuclear fuel debris.
