Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:57.73(Environmental Sciences)We have developed polyurethane-based tissue substitutes simulating lung, soft tissue, muscle, muscle-adipose mixture tissue, cartilage, brain, larynx, trachea, thyroid, kidney, liver and skin. The formulation of the tissue substitutes for photons was based on the basic data method together with an equation for calculating the optimum relative mass of corrective additives. The tissue substitutes were formulated to be phantom materials in the photon energy range of at least 10 keV-10 MeV. In particular, they were designed to match the tissues with linear attenuation coefficients for low photon energy (13.6, 17.2 and 20.2 keV from Pu) and to have the same mass densities as the tissues. The tissue substitutes developed in the present study were examined for the photon transmissions using 16.6 keV KX-rays from
Nb
. The experimental transmission curves of the substitutes were found to be in good agreement with those derived from data on the tissues in ICRP Publication 23. It was found that the tissue substitutes are suitable as the corresponding tissues defined in ICRP.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:10.71(Environmental Sciences)The physicochemical property of radionuclides suspended in the air is an important parameter to evaluate internal doses due to the inhalation of the airborne radionuclides and to develop the air monitoring system in high-energy proton accelerator facilities. This study focuses on the property of radioactive airborne chlorine (Cl and
Cl) and sulfur (
S) formed from Ar gas by irradiation with high-energy neutrons. As a result of the irradiation to a mixture of Ar gas and dry air,
Cl and
Cl existed as non-acidic gas and
S was present as acidic gas. Further, it was found that in the high-energy neutron irradiation to aerosol containing-Ar gas, the higher the amount of radioactive aerosols becomes, the lower that of radioactive acidic gas becomes.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Environmental Sciences)The proton beam duct of the accelerator-driven system (ADS) acts a streaming path for spallation neutrons and photons and causes the activation of the magnets and other devices above the subcritical core. We have performed a streaming analysis at the upper section of the lead-bismuth target/cooled ADS (800MWth). MCNPX was used to calculate the radiation dose from streamed neutrons and photons through the beam duct. For the secondary photon production calculation, cross sections for several actinides were substituted for plutonium because of the lack of gamma production cross section. From the results of this analysis, the neutron dose from the beam duct is about 20 orders higher than that of the bulk shield. The magnets and shield plug were heavily irradiated by streaming neutrons according to the DCHAIN-SP analysis.

In the project, the high-energy proton accelerator complex of the world highest intensity is under construction. In order to establish a reasonable shielding design, both simplified and detailed design methods were used in the shielding design of J-PARC. This paper reviews the present status of the radiation safety design study for J-PARC.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:18.12(Environmental Sciences)A dose calculation system for providing accurate dose distribution in a patient body is under developing for supporting radiotherapy using photons and electrons. In this system, a sophisticated human model, a precise accelerator head model, and a Monte Carlo calculation will be utilized to perform realistic simulation. The dose distribution is calculated by this system on the ITBL computer at the dose calculation center, and the related data are transferred through a network. This system is intended to support the quality assurance of current treatments carried out in Japan. Further, this system is planned to apply to advanced radiotherapy. The project started on November 2003 and is scheduled to continue for five years. Prototypes of some parts constituting the system have been already developed, and the fundamental features on the radiation fields have been investigated. On the basis of the fundamental investigation, the final system will be designed and constructed.
