In order to reduce the influence on a plant schedule of the MONJU by the maintenance of dew point hygrometers, The JAEA examined a capacitance type dew point hygrometer as an alternative dew point hygrometer for a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer which had been used at the CV-LRT in the MONJU. As a result of comparing a capacitance type dew point hygrometer with a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer at the CV-LRT (Atmosphere: nitrogen, Testing time: 24 hours), there weren't significant difference between a capacitance type dew point hygrometer and a lithium-chloride type dew point hygrometer. As a result of comparing a capacitance dew point hygrometer with a high-mirror-surface type dew point hygrometer for long term verification (Atmosphere: air, Testing time: 24 months), the JAEA confirmed that a capacitance type dew point hygrometer satisfied the instrument specification (2.04 $^{circ}$ C) required by the JEAC4203-2008.

Plaque type ${}^{60}$ Co -ray sources having wide radiation field with high absorbed dose rates ranging of about 10010,000Gy/h is widely used in radiation processing e.g. radiation sterilization of health care products. Calibration of such radiation processing doses or dose rates is not easy to be performed at the present standard dosimetry laboratories, since characteristics of most of their radiation field can provide collimated gamma-rays from a point source and/or lower dose rates, which are quite different from those of panoramic (uncollimated) radiation fields used in radiation processing. The high-dose calibration technique using a parallel-plate ionization chamber system has developed in the JAERI dose calibration facility. The facility equips two ${}^{60}$ Co -ray plaque sources covering wide dose-rate range of 520,000 Gy/h which have overlapping dose-rate region with that at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology(AIST), the national standard Dosimetry laboratory in Japan. Consistency of dose calibration results at JAERI and those at AIST was verified without additional correction regarding to difference in characteristics of radiation fields involving current/exposure -rate conversion coefficients given in the dose rate level of 10100 Gy/h at the AIST and high-dose rates of 520,000 Gy/h at JAERI. It demonstrates our dose traceability to the AIST from the technical point of view. The dose calibration at JAERI covers the high-dose range of 0.5 to $1.60times{10}^5$ Gy with uncertainty of 2.2% at 95% confidence level.
