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.

Proceedings of 40th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz 2015) (USB Flash Drive), 3 Pages, 2015/08

A gyrotron for electron cyclotron heating and current drive (ECH/CD) has been developed for JT-60SA (Super-Advanced). In high-power, long-pulse operations, oscillations of 1 MW/100 s have been demonstrated at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz, for the first time. These results fully satisfied the requirements for JT-60SA. Moreover, it was experimentally shown that the higher power operation at each frequency is expected to be acceptable for this gyrotron from the viewpoint of heat load at the cavity resonator, collector, and stray radiation absorbers. An oscillation at 82 GHz, which is an additional frequency, has been demonstrated up to 2 s at the output power of 0.4 MW, so far. High power experiments toward higher power of 1.5 MW (110/138 GHz) and 1 MW (82 GHz) are ongoing.

A gyrotron enabling high-power, long-pulse oscillations at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz has been developed for electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (CD) in JT-60SA. Oscillations of 1 MW for 100 s have been demonstrated at both frequencies, for the first time as a gyrotron operating at two frequencies. The optimization of the anode voltage, or the electron pitch factor, using a triode gun was a key to obtain high power and high efficiency at two frequencies. It was also confirmed that the internal losses in the gyrotron were sufficiently low for expected long pulse operation at the higher power level of $$sim$$1.5 MW. Another important result is that an oscillation at 82 GHz, which enables to use fundamental harmonic waves in JT-60SA while the other two frequencies are used as second harmonics waves, was demonstrated up to 0.4 MW for 2 s. These results of the gyrotron development significantly contribute to enhancing operation regime of the ECH/CD system in JT-60SA.

A mechanical structure of the launcher for electron cyclotron heating and current drive in JT-60SA has been designed to realize wide range of poloidal and toroidal injection angles with high reliability. One of the key components is a bellows structure (vacuum boundary) enabling linear and rotation motions of the rigid shaft. A full scale mock-up of the bellows structure has been fabricated and tested. The linear motion was repeated 100,000 cycles and the rotation motion was repeated 10,000 cycles. In this test, no evidence of vacuum leakage was observed. Then, the mock-up has been extended up to the first mirror including full length of the steering shaft (~4 m) and bearings. The cyclic test of the full system of the driving structure will be carried out in 2015. A mock-up of M2, which is a large curved mirror including four cooling channels, has been designed and fabricated. It was experimentally confirmed that the flow rate of each cooling channels was consistent with the design.

Design and developments of electron cyclotron range of frequency (ECRF) system are in progress. An oscillation of 1 MW for 1 s at 82 GHz has been demonstrated as the third frequency of the JT-60SA gyrotron, by which oscillations of 1 MW for 100 s at both 110 and 138 GHz were demonstrated. Moreover, experiments toward higher power (more than 1 MW) have been carried out. Oscillations of 1.5 MW for 5 s and 1.8 MW for 1 s at 110 GHz and 1.3 MW for 1 s at 138 GHz have been demonstrated, so far. Operation conditions will be optimized toward higher power and longer pulse length in future. In addition, the progress in the design and developments of ECRF power supply, launcher and transmission line are reported in the conference.

Assembly of the JT-60SA and preparation of its ECH system are progressing and the first plasma is planned in 2019. The high voltage power supply for two gyrotrons will be procured by EU. The procurement arrangement was signed in July 2015. Its fabrication in EU will be done in 2016 and the installation to the Naka-site will be in 2017. Oscillations at 1 MW for 100 s as the development target of the JT-60SA gyrotron were achieved at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz in June 2014. The gyrotron is the first "1 MW multi-frequency gyrotron" reached the pulse duration of 100s at two frequencies. In addition, 82 GHz oscillation was achieved at 1.0 MW for 1 sec by this gyrotron in June 2015. This additional frequency would be applicable to plasma start-up assistance and wall conditioning at the fundamental EC resonance in JT-60SA. Development is steadily progressing on the waveguide components and the launcher.

Long pulse operation of the dual frequency gyrotron was started for JT-60SA ECH system. Pulse lengths of 10 s with output power of 1MW were obtained at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz, so far. Typical oscillation efficiency is approximately 30%. Diffraction loss was acceptable for long pulse 1 MW output. The first high power test of the "power / beam profile monitor" featuring a fast movable Si$$_{3}$$3N$$_{4}$$ disk in the waveguide slit was successfully demonstrated.

A high-power long-pulse dual-frequency gyrotron, which can be operated at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz independently, was successfully developed for electron cyclotron heating and current drive in JT-60SA. The output power of 1 MW and the pulse length of 100 s were obtained at both frequencies with the high oscillation efficiency (not including an efficiency enhancement by collector potential depression) of 34% (110 GHz) and 32% (138 GHz), respectively, for the first time. The target of the JT-60SA gyrotron was fully satisfied by this gyrotron. An optimization of the electron pitch factor was a key to obtain the high efficiencies, and oscillation characteristics of the gyrotron were experimentally confirmed.
