Based on the regulations (the safety regulation of Tokai Reprocessing Plant, the safety regulation of nuclear fuel material usage facilities, the radiation safety rule, the regulation about prevention from radiation hazards due to radioisotopes, which are related with the nuclear regulatory acts, the local agreement concerning with safety and environment conservation around nuclear facilities, the water pollution control law, and by law of Ibaraki Prefecture), the effluent control of liquid waste discharged from the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories of Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been performed. This report describes the effluent control results of the liquid waste in the fiscal year 2018. In this period, the concentrations and the quantities of the radioactivity in liquid waste discharged from the reprocessing plant, the plutonium fuel fabrication facilities, and the other nuclear fuel material usage facilities were much lower than the limits authorized by the above regulations.

We have studied the magnetic correlations of the isosceles triangular lattice antiferromagnet CuMnO. Above , the magnetic correlations are characterized by a two-dimensional (2D) short-range correlation. Below , the magnetic structures have been identified to be collinear with the magnetic moments almost parallel to the orbitals. The stacking sequence along the direction is changed from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic by atomic disorder. We find that the second-nearest-neighbor interlayer interaction plays an important role for the magnetic stacking along the axis. The magnetic excitation below is characterized by collective spin-wave excitation with an energy gap of 6 meV from the three-dimensional long-range magnetic order and by spin-liquid-like 2D excitation, indicated by specific heat.

We have performed neutron powder diffraction experiments at JRR-3 using polycrystalline HoPd. The magnetic peaks with a propagation vector k = (0.18, 0.18, 0.18) are gradually developing below about 100 K. The peak width is significantly broader than an experimental resolution even temperature is 5 K. These results indicate that HoPd is a short-range ordered antiferromagnet with a long wave length.

Neutron Scattering study has been carried out in order to reveal the magnetic structure of the antiferromagnet HoPd, which shows giant magnetocaloric effect. We observed short rage magnetic order at k=0.18, 0.18, 0.18 above the antiferromagnetic transition temperature . TbPd also showed magnetic short range correlation above the temperature higher than 2.
