Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.03The JAEA-AMS-TONO facility at the Tono Geoscience Center, JAEA has an accelerator mass spectrometer (JAEA-AMS-TONO-5MV). The spectrometer enabled us to use a multi-nuclide AMS of carbon-14 (
C), beryllium-10, aluminium-26 and iodine-129, and we have recently been proceeding test measurement of chlorine-36. In response to an increase of samples, we installed a state-of-the-art multi-nuclide AMS with a 300 kV Tandetron accelerator in 2020. Recently, we are driving the development of techniques of isobar separation in AMS and of sample preparation. Ion channeling is applied to remove isobaric interference and we are building a prototype AMS based on this technique for downsizing of AMS. The small sample graphitization for C has been attempted using an automated graphitization equipment equipped with an elemental analyzer.

In the Nuclear Science Research Institute, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), in order to oxidize C, which exists in various chemical forms in exhaust, into CO
, a copper oxide (CuO) catalyst is introduced after heating to 600
C. Our goal was to establish a safer C monitoring system by lowering the heating temperature required for the catalyst; therefore, we developed a new hydrophobic palladium/silicon dioxide (Pd/SiO) catalyst that makes the carrier's surface hydrophobic. In these experiments, catalysts CuO, platinum/aluminum oxide (Pt/AlO
), palladium/zirconium dioxide (Pd/ZrO), hydrophobic Pd/SiO, and hydrophilic Pd/SiO were ventilated with standard methane gas, and we compared the oxidation efficiency of each catalyst at different temperatures. As a result, we determined that the hydrophobic Pd/SiO catalyst had the best oxidation efficiency. By substituting the currently used CuO catalyst with the hydrophobic Pd/SiO catalyst, we will be able to lower the working temperature from 600C to 300C and improve the safety of the monitoring process.

The graphite-moderated power reactor was shut down in 1998 and its decommissioning program is being planned. Various graphites are used in the core of magnox-type reactors and HTTR as core-support structural materials and moderating materials of fast neutrons. For the nuclear graphite disposal, it is necessary to determine especially the treatment of long-lived nuclides, such as C which are generated in the graphite components during reactor operation. As a research, which solves the problem of the C concentration, the cooperative research is concluded between JAERI and Japan Nuclear Power Corp. in 1999, and the research for the basic data acquisition has been advanced up to the present. To find the optimum conditions for C reduction, basic data on oxidation reaction and the structure of graphite materials are indispensable. In the present experiment, we measure the air oxidation characteristics in the temperature range 450
800C in Quality1 graphite and IG-110 graphite. Changes in pore diameter and pore size distribution due to air oxidation are discussed.

C, C and Cs radioactivity were determined in 3 undisturbed forest soil profiles in Ibaraki prefecture, Japan to estimate C migration in surface environment. The Cs data illustrate that no disturbance has occurred during past years in 3 soil profiles. The peak values are observed in the top 10 cm of the soil profiles. C activities were determined with fast bomb combustion-liquid scintillation counting method. C determination shows that C also has peak values in the top 10 cm of the soil profiles ascribed to the highest bomb C level in 1960's.C values continuously decreased with increasing soil depth. Enrichment of deeper soils in isotope ratio probably results from discrimination against C during mineralization and loss of isotopically lighter carbon from soils due to root uptake, leaching etc.It shows that C is an excellent indicator of soil carbon turnover and belowground process.

PM is becoming the focus of international attention, particularly in eastern Asia, because of air pollution and the health risks. Carbon is one of the major components in aerosol. Therefore, sources of the carbon compound should be known for the understanding material cycles and mechanism of the rise. Radiocarbon analysis is unique and useful techniques for estimation of carbon sources in environmental samples including aerosol. Hence half-life of radiocarbon is 5730 years, percent modern carbon (pMC) value based on radiocarbon concentration of fossil fuels are negligible. Therefore, pMC value can reveal the components of carbon in aerosol (biomass carbon versus fossil fuel). In this study, aerosol samples were taken at Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa pref., Japan, in order to estimate contribution rate of biomass carbon and/or fossil fuel in PM. The pMC values of PM at Noto were more than 70 in the summer of 2014. These results show that biomass contribution is relative high in the area.

Holocene crustal movements are recorded as fossil calcareous assemblages on rocky coast. It is possible to reconstruct crustal movements by summarizing these heights, structures and C ages. In this study, to clarify crustal movements, we collected calcareous assemblages and dated them using the C at Cape Hane. C ages show forming period of the lowest wave-cut-bench. However, it is difficult to determine the history of emerged events in a short cycle. To reconstruct the crustal movement history precisely, it is necessary to identify obvious multi-layer structures or discontinuous surfaces with time interval.
