It is very important to evaluate radioactive inventory and an amount of radioactive waste accurately for both the planning and the safety assessment on Fugen's decommissioning. Fugen had carried out various radioactive inventory investigations, activation evaluations by materials sampling, neutron measurements, contamination evaluation by investigation of radiation control records, etc. since operation period because Fugen uses heavy water as moderator and its core structure is different from that of LWR. And then, radioactive inventory was evaluated using those investigation data. Moreover, an amount of radioactive waste was estimated by the classification for the radioactive waste disposal based on the evaluated radioactive inventory results. This paper is intended to introduce the evaluation methods and results of the radioactive inventory and estimation of an amount of radioactive waste for Fugen.
