In September, 2021 Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) published the Environmental Report 2021 concerning the activities of FY 2020 under "Law Concerning the Promotion of Business Activities with Environmental Consideration by Specified Corporations, etc., by Facilitating Access to Environmental Information, and Other Measures". This report has been edited to show detailed environmental performance data in FY 2020 as the base of the Environmental Report 2021. This report would not only ensure traceability of the data in order to enhance the reliability of the environmental report, but also make useful measures for promoting activities of environmental considerations in JAEA.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (abbreviated as IAEA) has been implementing the Asian Nuclear Safety Network (abbreviated as ANSN) activities since 2002. As part of this effort, Topical Group on Emergency Preparedness and Response (abbreviated as EPRTG) for nuclear or radiation disasters was established in 2006 under the umbrella of the ANSN. Based on the EPRTG proposal, the IAEA conducted 23 Asian regional workshops in the 12 years from 2006 to 2017. Typical topical fields of the regional workshops were nuclear emergency drills, emergency medical care, long-term response after nuclear/radiological emergency, international cooperation, national nuclear disaster prevention system. The Japan Atomic Energy Agency has produced coordinators for EPRTG since its establishment and has led its activities since then. This report summarizes the Asian regional workshops conducted by the IAEA based on the recommendations of the EPRTG.

This annual report summarizes the activities of Nuclear Technology and Education Center (NuTEC) of Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) in the fiscal year 2004. It describes not only the domestic and the international training activities, but also the technical development for the training courses and administrative matters. The period being the second fiscal year after the unification of Tokyo and Tokai Education Center, all the planned training courses have been finished successfully, and the number of trainees completing the courses was 1165. In addition, preparative work has been performed in oder to cooperate with Nuclear Professional School, School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo. Futher, the maintenance and improvement of facilities and equipments for education have been made from the viewpoint of securing safety and comfortable working environment.

At the JAERI Tandem accelerator, an acceleration tube replacing plan is proceeding to increase the acceleration voltage toward 20 MV. Lengthy conditioning is generally necessary for a large tube system. We had an idea to clean the tubes with high-pressure water-jet rinsing before installation. We cleaned tubes and tested them at 1 MV and 3 MV. The both results exhibited that the voltages went beyond the rated voltages and discharge activities were much less than the old records. During the test of new tubes at 3 MV, the conditioning proceeded well and an extremely stable condition was fulfilled within 24 hours. In conclusion, the cleaning was found to be a very promising way to improve high-voltage performance of the tubes in a large tube system.
