(TEPCO) by the accident and then reached around our laboratories. Therefore the accident influence on our environment was investigated to measure the concentrations of cesium-134 (
Cs), cesium-137 
Cs, strontium-90 (
Sr) and plutonium isotopes in seabed sediments. The values for Cs ranged from 6.1 to 300 Bq/kg (dry wt) and the ratio of Cs /Cs ranged from 0.48 to 0.77. The highest point of Cs concentration was observed at the northernmost station near Kitaibaraki City and the concentration was similar to report by MEXT.

Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：60.64(Chemistry, Analytical)In this study, the Mo adsorption and Tc elution mechanism were investigated using SEM-EDS to analyze the elemental composition of the material surfaces before Mo adsorption, after Mo adsorption and after Tc elution using saline solution. The results were compared with the value of adsorption capacity of the material to irradiated natural Mo and elution yield of Tc. From the changes of elemental composition in the surface, it was found that molybdate ions were adsorbed into the adsorbent by ion exchange with Cl
ion in the material. On the other hand, it was also revealed that Tc can be eluted from the material column in TcO
since oxidizing agent was needed in the elution process.

Separation method of I from the radioactive materials using solid phase extractant, Anion-SR, was developed, and the concentration of I in the accumulated water and processing water was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry including dynamic reaction cell (DRC-ICP-MS).

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：25.85(Chemistry, Analytical)An innovative, yet simple method for the passive collection of radioactive materials in river water has been developed and validated. The method employes large filter vessels, containing multiple cartridge filters. River water is led to the system naturally using a drop of the riverbed by hose from upstream. This method makes long-term, unmanned monitoring possible. In addition to regular radioactivity analyses, this method provides an opportunity for the characterization of suspended materials based on its ample collection quantities (more than several tens of grams). This method may also be applicable to sediment-bound chemicals.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：56.13(Chemistry, Analytical)In order to understand the production and dispersion behavior of radioactive aerosols during dismantling of nuclear facilities, plasma arc cutting experiments were conducted. Particle size distribution of the aerosols was obtained by sampling air into ELPI which could classify particles into 12 stages of 50% cutoff aerodynamic diameter ranging from 0.007 to 9.9 
m. 
Co specific radioactivity of diameter 0.05 m during cutting of surface contaminated piping indicated the maximum value of approximately 2.7E+4 Bq/g which was fifty times as much as the average value of all of aerosols. That of 9.9m was approximately 100 Bq/g which was the eighth part of the average value. Compared with those for the activated piping, the difference of specific radioactivity between maximum and minimum values were larger in contaminated piping. It is considered that contaminants on the piping were directly melted and vaporized by plasma arc and then condensed into smaller particles.

Times Cited Count：13 Percentile：70.51(Chemistry, Analytical)The influence of irradiation with -rays to metal hexacyanoferrate (MHCF: M = Fe, Cu or Ni), which is known as an adsorbent for selective adsorption of cesium (Cs) ion in solution, on Cs adsorption ability and stability was investigated in HNO
solutions. Under the adsorbed dose conditions (50-300 kGy), it was found that the MHCF is fully stable although the radiolytic decomposition of MHCF was slightly observed with an increase of the total adsorbed dose, which was confirmed by an increment of Fe, Cu or Ni concentration in HNO solution after the irradiation. The weight percent of the metal in the solution to initial weight of MHCF was less than unity. Moreover, no change in composition of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen in MHCF was observed. On the other hand, the distribution coefficients of Cs to the irradiated MHCF were independent of the total adsorbed dose. This indicates that the Cs adsorption ability was maintained under -ray irradiation.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：17.57(Chemistry, Analytical)Technetium-99m (Tc) is used in radioactive medical diagonostic tests, for example as a radioactive tracer that medical equipment can detect in the human body. It is well suited to the role because it emits readily detectable 141 keV rays, and its half-life is 6.01 hours (meaning that about 94% of it decays to technetium-99 in 24 hours). There are at least 31 commonly used radiopharmaceuticals based on technetium-99m for imaging and functional studies of the brain, myocardium, thyroid, lungs, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, skeleton, blood, and tumors. Recent years, with the develop-ment of the Compton camera which can realize high position resolution, technetium isotopes emitting high energy -rays are required. In this study, technetium-95m which emits some rays around 800 keV was produced by the 
Mo(p,n)Tc reaction.

Lu-labeled antibodies, Lu complexation of DOTA and DTPA was investigated by the addition of competing metals, Ca(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II). From comparison of competing metals, the inhibition by competing metals on the Lu complexation was in the order of Ca(II) 
Fe(II) Zn(II) and Ca(II) Zn(II) Fe(II) as DOTA and DTPA, respectively. For comparison between DOTA and DTPA, the susceptibility to the inhibition on Lu complexation by all the three competing metals was DTPA DOTA. Therefore, it was found that DTPA is advantageous for Lu complexation compared with DOTA in the presence of Ca(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II), and that the elimination of Fe from Lu solution is especially effective because the Lu complexation of DTPA is highly inhibited by Fe(II).

gas-jet transport system for the Isotope Separator On-Line (ISOL) at the JAEA tandem accelerator for experimental determination of the first ionization potential of lawrencium (Lr, 
). We performed to ionize a short-lived Lr isotope and various lanthanide isotopes. We successfully observed mass-separated ions of 
Lr by using our present system at the first time. The first ionization potential of Lr was evaluated based on a correlation between of effective ionization potential and ionization efficiency of short-lived lanthanide isotopes in our system.

Production cross sections of astatine in 29-57 MeV Li + 
Pb have been measured by - and -ray spectrometry. Excitation functions of production cross sections have been compared with a statistical model calculation to study the reaction mechanism of the Li + Pb reaction. It indicates that the breakup of Li plays a rule in the Li + Pb reaction. Besides, we have developed a dry-distillation method which separates carrier-free astatine from an irradiated lead target.

Flow electrolysis enables the exhaustive redox reaction rapidly even the electrochemically irreversible reaction such as reduction of actinide (V) ions. The flow electrolysis cell with platinized glassy carbon fiber working electrode which acts as electrocatalyst is effective to decrease overpotentials of reduction of Np(V) and Pu(V). A rapid and precise method for the preparation of U, Np and Pu ions of a desired oxidation state was proposed by taking advantage of the electrocatalytic reaction.
