The Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories conducts environmental radiation monitoring around the reprocessing plant in accordance with the "Safety Regulations for Reprocessing Plant of JAEA, Part IV: Environmental Monitoring". This report summarizes the results of environmental radiation monitoring conducted during the period from April 2022 to March 2023 and the results of dose calculations for the surrounding public due to the release of radioactive materials into the atmosphere and ocean. In the results of the above environmental radiation monitoring, many items were affected by radioactive materials emitted from the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company, Incorporated (changed to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. on April 1, 2016), which occurred in March 2011. Also included as appendices are an overview of the environmental monitoring plan, an overview of measurement methods, measurement results and their changes over time, meteorological statistics results, radioactive waste release status, and an evaluation of the data which deviated of the normal range.

Environmental radiation monitoring around the Tokai Reprocessing Plant has been performed by the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories, based on "Safety Regulations for the Reprocessing Plant of Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Chapter IV - Environmental Monitoring". This annual report presents the results of the environmental monitoring and the dose estimation to the hypothetical inhabitant due to the radioactivity discharged from the plant to the atmosphere and the sea during April 2020 to March 2021. In this report, some data include the influence of the accidental release from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. (the trade name was changed to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. on April 1, 2016) in March 2011. Appendices present comprehensive information, such as monitoring programs, monitoring methods, monitoring results and their trends, meteorological data and discharged radioactive wastes. In addition, the data which were influenced by the accidental release and exceeded the normal range of fluctuation in the monitoring, were evaluated.

In order to use of an alpha emitter for targeted alpha therapy, we have started the production and the utilization of At using 30 MeV He particle in the Bi(He, 2n)At nuclear reaction at cyclotron facilities of Osaka University and JAEA Takasaki. In addition to that, we have been developing a Rn/At generator to expand the availability of At to wide range of populations far away from cyclotron facilities. The results of studies on the At-chemistry for clinical use and on the development of the Rn/At generator will be presented. And a review of current status of targeted alpha therapy in Japan will be also introduced.

Viscosity index improvers (VII) are important additives for lubricants to suppress the temperature dependence of viscosity index. Although the temperature dependence of viscosity index of VII was thought to be related with the temperature dependence of nanostructures, only a few experimental results have been reported so far. Therefore, we performed small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) to characterize the nanostructures of VII in the lubricant. The results show the change in molecular size with increasing temperature. The relation between the viscosity index and the nanostructures are discussed.
