Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has initiated an R&D project on nuclear forensics technology from 2011. This project includes development of prototype national nuclear forensics library (NNFL), and the JAEA attended to the first international table top exercise of NNFL "Galaxy Serpent" held by ITWG as a part of our NNFL development project. In this paper, outline and experiences of the JAEA investigation in the table top exercise are described and the lessons learned from the experiences were discussed. Brief current status of the NNFL development project at JAEA was also introduced in the present paper. The lessons from the experiences in the exercise will be effectively applied to the development of NNFL at JAEA.

This paper describes the role of Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) for the safeguards (SG) technology development by Japan and IAEA and its application to the first large commercial plant in Japan. Through several negotiations between Japan and USA, TRP accepted the full scope application of IAEA's SG, the development of U-Pu mixed conversion process, and the experimental work of IAEA for development of SG activities. Results under the TASTEX, which was research and development program by an agreement made during Japan and USA negotiation on reprocessing, were reflected to the INFCE, which was organized by the change in US atomic energy policy. Most of the current SG technologies being applied by IAEA were developed at this time. Both effectiveness and reliability of such technologies have been validated extensively through the 30 years operation of TRP.

PNC and LANL collaborated in research on the concept of transparency in nuclear nonproliferation.The research was based on the Action Sheet #21,'The joint Research on 'Transparency' in nuclear nonproliferation' under the 'Agreement between the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation of Japan(PNC)and the US Department of Energy(DOE) for cooperation in research and development concerning nuclear material conctrol and accounting measures for safeguards and nonproliferation'The scope of the research was a fundamental study on transparency to clarify the means to improve worldwide acceptability of nuclear energy from nuclear nonproliferation viewpoint. The research encompassed three main topics:the policy environment oftransparency,the development of transparency options,and tech
