The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is one of the designated public corporations, which is the agency dealing with emergency situations in cooperation with the Japanese and local governments under the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act and under the Armed Attack Situation Response Law. JAEA has, therefore, responsibilities of providing technical assistances to the Japanese and local governments in case of nuclear or radiological emergencies based on these acts. To fulfill the assistances, the JAEA has prepared the Nuclear Emergency Support Measures Regulation, Disaster Prevention Work Plan and Civil Protection Work Plan. The Nuclear Emergency Assistance and Training Center (NEAT) is the main center of the technical assistance in case of emergency, and dispatches experts of JAEA, supplies equipment and materials and gives technical advice and information, to the Japanese and local governments for emergency based on the regulation and plans. In normal time, the NEAT provides the technical assistances such as the exercises and training courses concerning the nuclear preparedness and response to the JAEA experts and to emergency responders including the Japanese and local government officers. This report introduces the results of activities in Japanese Fiscal Year 2022, conducted by the NEAT.

Arrangements for telephone consultation on radiation health effects in a nuclear emergency in Japan; Lessons learned from the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, 2011

Okuno, Hiroshi; Kawakami, Takeshi; Watanabe, Fumitaka; Horikoshi, Hidehiko*

Journal of Disaster Research, 18(8), p.911 - 917, 2023/12

In response to residents' concerns about the radiation health effects following the nuclear accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of the Tokyo Electric Power Company in March 2011, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) established a telephone consultation system. Eight toll-free telephone lines were prepared, and employees with knowledge of radiation health effects were assigned for consultation. Approximately 35,000 consultations were conducted from March 17, 2011, to September 18, 2012. The results of the text mining analysis revealed that the greatest source of anxiety was the impact on children's health from radiation. The JAEA's system for telephone consultation was improved following this telephone consultation experience. The description of telephone hotlines in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) guide, GSG-14, was discussed for further improvements of the JAEA's telephone consultation system.

An Effect of forest floor condition on radiocesium outflow in mountainous forest of Fukushima, Japan

Niizato, Tadafumi; Sasaki, Yoshito; Watanabe, Takayoshi; Amamiya, Hiroki*

Dai-31-Kai Shakai Chishitsugaku Shimpojiumu Rombunshu, p.19 - 22, 2021/11

A three-year monitoring of $$^{137}$$Cs outflow associated with soil erosion from decontaminated and burnt sites using an experimental plot was conducted in a mountainous forest of Fukushima, Japan. Corresponding with recovery of the forest floor cover, such as undergrowth and litter layer, the $$^{137}$$Cs outflow during the monitoring period in the rainy season of Fukushima decreased from 3.24% to 0.61% and 2.79% to 0.03% in the decontaminated and burnt sites, respectively. The forest floor cover ratio of 60% or more is a threshold for an effect on the $$^{137}$$Cs outflow in the monitoring sites. In the burnt site, a change of dominant outflowed materials from soil particles into litter and its fragments also contributes to the decreasing in the $$^{137}$$Cs outflow. A protective function of forest floor cover against the soil erosion inherent in the natural forest environment is effective for the migration control of the $$^{137}$$Cs outflow.

$$^{137}$$Cs outflow from forest floor adjacent to a residential area; Comparison of decontaminated and non-decontaminated forest floor

Niizato, Tadafumi; Watanabe, Takayoshi

Global Environmental Research (Internet), 24(2), p.129 - 136, 2021/06

The 3-years monitoring of $$^{137}$$Cs outflow associated with soil erosion in the decontaminated and no decontaminated sites using experimental plot was conducted in the forest of Fukushima during the rainy season. The $$^{137}$$Cs outflow in the decontaminated site was 10 to 14 times larger than that of no decontaminated site. However, the outflow in the decontaminated site decreased from 3.24% to 0.61% in corresponding with the recovery of the forest floor cover. When reaching of the forest floor cover to 60% and over, the $$^{137}$$Cs outflow in the decontaminated site turned into relatively minor fluctuations and similar level to the no decontaminated site. The decrease in the $$^{137}$$Cs outflow corresponding to the restoration of the forest floor cover was owing to the recovering of the protective effect of forest floor against the raindrop splash and decrease in ratio of the soil component with relatively high $$^{137}$$Cs activity in the particulate matter.

The radioactive waste generated from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station (FDNPS) accident have features such as wide range of radioactivity level (from low to high) and huge amount etc. It would be necessary for the waste from the FDNPS accident to develop suitable disposal concept and to be disposed safely and reasonably. When considering such appropriate disposal concepts in site-generic phase, it is necessary to appropriately develop models and parameters depending on the disposal concepts, such as disposal depth and specification of engineered barrier. In addition, it is desirable to evaluate the safety of repository with common models and parameters independent on the disposal concepts. In the safety assessment of disposal, it is useful to show the difference in performance of repository with "dose" as an indicator of safety assessment. Biosphere model and parameter set and flux-to-dose conversion factors calculated using them are originally dependent on the disposal concepts. However, the biosphere models and the parameter set in safety assessment of near-surface disposal, sub-surface disposal and geological disposal are prepared in each case, and are different according to the age and purpose of the discussion. In this study, an example of biosphere model and parameter-set of groundwater sceinario commonly applicable to various disposal concepts were shown, to calculate flux-to-dose conversion factors, as common indicators independent to disposal concept. And, a set of flux-to-dose conversion factors was also calculated by using the commonly available biosphere model and parameter set. By applying the flux-to-dose conversion factors, it is possible to compare the performance of disposal concepts to the waste generated from FDNPS accident, focusing on the parts depending on the disposal concepts.

The 1999 JNC International Forum on the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Technology, a continuation of the annual International Forum on Nuclear Non-proliferation sponsored by its predecessor organization PNC (Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation), was held February 22-23, 1999 in Tokyo, Japan. About 380 people from government, industry, and academia involved in nuclear technology and issues attended the forum. A distinguished group of speakers participated in the forum sessions including highly respected technology and policy experts from France, Russia, and the United States. Session themes were: (1) Advanced Nuclear Technology for Peaceful Purposes and Nuclear Non-Proliferation, (2) Transparency Improvements in Nuclear Technology through the Disposition of Excess Nuclear Weapons Plutonium. This document provides a record of speeches and discussion which have no written documentation and summarizes presented papers as appropriate. Full papers prepared by the presenters can be found in The Proceedings of the 1999 JNC International Forum on the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy.

A Study on measurement and evaluation method for radioactivity concentration distribution of recycled materials from contaminated debris

Shimada, Taro; Takai, Shizuka; Takeda, Seiji

no journal, , 

In order to recycle contaminated debris of which concentration is relatively lower in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, it is necessary to confirm that the mean radioactive concentration is lower than a reference value with consideration of the distribution by measurement and evaluation. We studied a method combining radiation measurement and inverse analysis to obtain the distribution of radioactivity concentration of recycled material. Plastic scintillation fiber will be applied to radiation measurement to obtain dose rates outside the container containing recycled material at many measurement points. As a result of application of 7 inverse analysis methods to typical two types of distribution, GVSPM and ML-EL methods can evaluate true values in the trials.
