The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) conducts researches and developments related to Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) on the basis of Japan's pragmatic and progressive efforts toward peaceful use of atomic energy and non-proliferation with the goal of realizing a peaceful and safe world free from nuclear weapons. The Treaty aims for the establishment of a global verification regime comprising an International Monitoring System (IMS) and the JAERI has engaged in the following activities: construction and operation of the radionuclide monitoring stations at Okinawa (RN37) and Takasaki (RN38) and the certified radionuclide laboratory at Tokai (RL11) as specified in Annex 1 of CTBT Protocol, and preparation of the National Data Center at Tokai (JAERI NDC). Research activities of JAERI related to the CTBT verification regime are presented in the paper. The subjects of this presentation are (1) an overview of the CTBT verification regime, (2) construction and operation of RN37, RN38 and RL11, and (3) preparation of the JAERI NDC for radionuclide data.

Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) was qualified as a member of the IAEA network analytical laboratories (NWALs) for particle and bulk analyses of safeguards environmental samples in January 2003. The particle analysis gives more detailed information on nuclear facility operation than the bulk analysis because the isotope ratios of nuclear materials in the samples collected inside nuclear facilities (swipe samples) can be determined for individual particles. We applied, as a method for uranium isotope ratio measurement, secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to particle analysis. Prior to the SIMS analysis, the particles in a swipe sample are recovered onto a carrier by impaction. The carriers with the recovered particles are then screened by total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. We integrated these techniques into a standard procedure, which is applied to domestic and IAEA swipe samples routinely.

For the determination of Pu in the high active liquid waste (HALW), isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) has been applied to verification analysis at Tokai Reprocessing Plant. IDMS has been considered as the most reliable analytical technique for accountability measurement of Pu in spent fuel reprocessing plant. However, it takes quite long time for inspector to obtain an analytical result because inspection sample has to be transported to safeguards analytical laboratory for off-site analysis. In order to overcome this disadvantage, a rapid verification analysis of Pu in HALW by conventional spectrophotometer using Nd as an internal standard was proposed to achieve on-site verification measurements. In this method, Nd standard is intended to be provided by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) so that an inspector can independently control it not only as an internal standard but also as an authentication purpose. The validation analysis was carried out by comparing with IDMS. It was found that the values of Pu concentration obtained by proposed method were in good agreement with those obtained by IDMS. Therefore the proposed method can be expected for the application to the verification analysis.
