We, the radiation control section of JNC have had two important experiences on the JCO critical accident and the JNC fire-explosion accident. Especially, at the critical accident in JCO, it was essential to take an action on the radiation protection activities for the evacuated neighboring inhabitants to the safety area. During the accident, we carried out the radiation protection activities, at the beginning of the accident, environmental monitoring of the surrounding area. Especially for the JCO accident, we took an action to terminate criticality, radiation shielding and monitoring, environmental monitoring, radiation survey of the residents, radiation monitoring of exhaust air.

The newly developed Plastic enclosure tents have reliable airtightness and can be set up in a short time with the small number of persons. Also, in order to prevent the spread of contamination, the exhaust device secures the internal airflow line, and the radiation management device measures the concentration of radioactive materials in the air are in real time. Furthermore, by setting up a multiple of evacuation routes, the decontamination time is shortened even when there are many contaminated persons. Therefore, it is possible to quickly evacuate the contaminated person by having both radiation safety and setting up that can quickly respond to a large-scale body contamination accident.

The author reports the outline of Emergency Preparedness Research Group and one of its research results. Utilization of radiation portal monitors are being considered for contamination inspection in nuclear emergency. In this study, the practicality of the monitor was evaluated experimentally for its utilization. It was found that contamination on the tire surface equivalent to OIL4, one of the Operational Intervention Levels (OILs), could be detected sufficiently. However, it was found that it was difficult to determine whether contamination on the tire surface and wiper areas was above or below OIL4.

When the nuclear emergency occurs, inhabitants take the contamination inspection to evacuate. A large number of vehicle will come to the inspection area and make there congested. To do the quick inspection, simultaneous measurement of tires and wipers using the portable radiation portal monitors for vehicles is a key point. Consequently, we attempted the count rates obtained from tires and wipers are discriminated. First, the vehicle was driven at 5 km/h and the 
-ray counts rate was measured by the monitor. 
Ba sources were attached around the tire or on the wiper and measurements were taken 30 times each. Next, discrimination conditions based on a linear function were applied to the normalized count rates, with the maximum count rate of the measured values (Net value) set to 1.0, to evaluate the discrimination accuracy between the tire and the wiper. The evaluation results showed that the pattern with the source attached around the tire correctly discriminated 29 out of 30 times, while the pattern with the source attached on the wiper correctly discriminated 20 out of 30 times. It was found that in order to improve the accuracy of discrimination, the measurement method must be improved so that there is a large difference between measured values of the tire and the wiper.

Vehicles carrying evacuees during a nuclear emergency are subject to contamination inspections, and the operation of screening by measuring tires and wiper are required. The introduction of portable radiation portal monitors for vehicles is expected to be quick tire inspections, however, it is difficult to inspect the tire and the wiper at the same time, so further speeding up the inspection process is an issue. In this study, we attempted to discriminate each type of contamination by using a different the new set up of detectors for the purpose of simultaneous inspection of tires and wiper. We will report the usefulness of the new set up and the results of simulation calculations of detector response under realistic contamination assumptions.

In nuclear emergency, vehicles which evacuating inhabitants use be taken the contamination inspection. For the quick inspection, it seems that realization of simultaneous inspection of tires and wipers by portable radiation portal monitors for vehicles is necessary. In order to fulfill the simultaneous inspection, the authors develop the measuring method which is able to suitably distinguish and evaluate each contamination. Monte Carlo simulation showed ahead that the new set-up of detectors improves the discriminative ability for contamination. In this study, based on the simulation results, the authors attached radiation sources to a vehicle, and verified the ability by the new-setup. As a result, the ability improved compared to one of the usual method.
