At the request of the government of Japan and Fukushima prefecture, the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories and the Nuclear Science Research Institute of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) conducted the internal dosimetry examination program for the residents of Fukushima prefecture (Fukushima residents) affected by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident by whole-body counting (WBC) starting in July 2011, the year of Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. At the internal dosimetry examination, almost Fukushima residents worried about effects of radiation and suffered from various serious situations, which were caused by not only the nuclear accident but also the earthquake and tsunami. Therefore, JAEA had direct dialogue focused on active listening, as risk communication with Fukushima residents in order to mitigate Fukushima residents' anxiety and stress. This report evaluates the effects of the activities and shows the ways of our communication with Fukushima residents during WBC to mitigate Fukushima residents' anxiety and stress.

We produced the messages for risk communication by working in conjunction with local residents. The purpose of this activity is to make the messages easier for the local residents to understand. The messages were created from the viewpoint of the residents by working in close collaboration with us. As a result of those collaborations, we were able to produce several messages about radiation, environmental monitoring and the nuclear fuel cycle. This report includes all produced messages and evaluates the effects of the activities. Future development of our activities is also described.

This report summarizes the risk communication activities of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories conducted by mainly Risk Communication Study Office. The activities are classified into three categories: research and study on risk communication, message design and development of information transmission tools, and implementation of risk communication. This report shows those activities, and discusses the effect and evaluation of the activities. Future development of our risk communication activities is also described.

The pooled analysis recently carried out in European countries and North American countries showed the excess relative risk of lung cancer increased by 10-20% per 100 Bqm
increase in indoor radon concentration. The Scientific Committee on Indoor Radon Risk and Response to the Issue established by the Japan Health Physic Society reviewed the scientific evidence on the indoor radon risk obtained so far and evaluated the pooled analysis results from the viewpoint of estimating the risk coefficient in Japan. The committee concludes that the risk shown by the pooled analysis results has the consistency from miners risk analysis, and that it is probably not low in the reliability and validity, although the value may include the uncertainties caused from the correction of radon concentration measured, from the effect of thoron on measurement results, from the differences of environmental parameters in exposure, and so on.

The Public Acceptance(P.A.) team, "Sweet Potato", was established in December 1996 to promote public understanding of nuclear. Tokai Village has been the center of nuclear energy development in Japan for almost forty years. Although the residents have been very supportive, the critical JCO accident in 1999 caused them a great deal of anxiety and distrust. Soon after, the P.A. team's objectives were altered to accommodate the resulting new needs of the public. The focus was shifted to local residents and young people in order that they would have better understanding of nuclear energy. Since 2001, one of the P.A. team's main activities has been giving "Nuclear Disaster and Radiation Prevention" and "Energy and Radiation" presentations at elementary schools and junior high schools throughout the Tokai region. This paper presents the findings, results and lessons learned from these and other activities, and will contribute to the future work of the PA team.

Temperature fluctuation due to mixing of the fluids with different temperature in T-junction pipe gives thermal fatigue to structure, and this phenomenon is significant as safety issue in liquid metal cooled fast reactor (LMFBR). In Japan Nuclear cycle Development Institute (JNC), experimental and numerical investigations have been performed to reveal the mixing phenomena in T-junction pipe and to establish the evaluation rule for design. Numerical simulation is conducted on the existing experiment to study secondary flow effect on the turbulence mixing in T-junction pipe.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been carrying out internal dosimetry for Fukushima residents by trust of Fukushima prefecture from July 2011. To perform result explanation on the inspection day is the merit of investigation at JAEA. As a result of analysis of the awareness of the examinee, anxiety about radiation exposure tended to be considerably reduced after inspection. The importance of the interactive communication was demonstrated.
