In the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS, 1F), workers are removing structures from inside the buildings, monitoring radioactive contamination, and decontaminating inside the buildings. For the measurement of contamination of suit surfaces of workers, we have developed a hand-held survey meter that can measure and visualize surface radioactive contamination of $$alpha$$-nuclides in a high $$beta$$/ $$gamma$$-ray background environment. In order to selectively measure $$alpha$$-nuclides, we designed and built a prototype hand-held survey meter for $$alpha$$-rays, which consists of a thin-film ZnS:Ag scintillator, a multi-anode photomultiplier tube (MA-PMT), individual amplification and counting circuits for each channel of the MA-PMT. Based on the result of $$alpha$$-ray counting, the developed device is capable of counting the $$alpha$$-radiation beyond 2.1$$times$$10$$^{7}$$ cpm. In the $$gamma$$-ray response test, there was no $$gamma$$-ray response even when the detector was in close proximity to a high intensity source; The dose rate was estimated to be more than 1 Sv/h. In the future, we plan to reduce the weight and size of the device, as well as improve the usability of the device through actual testing in contaminated environments.

We have studied the confirmation method for the termination of decommissioning of nuclear facilities based on the site release flow presented at the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) study team meeting in 2017, and organized it as a procedure for the site soil. First, the effects of radionuclides released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident are excluded as background radioactivity, and the distribution of radioactivity concentration of facility origin on the site is evaluated using geostatistical method kriging. Then, considering the downstream transport of sediment by surface runoff generated by rainfall that exceeds the infiltration capacity of the ground surface, a series of evaluation procedures are presented to evaluate the exposure dose reflecting future changes from the evaluated radioactivity concentration distribution, and a comparison method with the assumed 0.01 mSv/y as a dose criterion is proposed. Furthermore, an example of the procedure for evaluating the distribution of contamination in the subsurface was also presented for the case where groundwater is affected.

Evaluation of ambient dose equivalent rates owing to natural radioactive nuclides in eastern Japan by car-borne surveys using KURAMA-II

Ando, Masaki; Matsuda, Norihiro; Saito, Kimiaki

Nihon Genshiryoku Gakkai Wabun Rombunshi, 16(2), p.63 - 80, 2017/05

In order to discriminate the contribution of radioactive cesium due to the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident to the air dose rates measured by the car-borne surveys, natural background radiation was evaluated for eastern Japan area as the municipality averaged values. The window count method for distinction between natural and artificial radioactive nuclides was applied to the car-borne surveys using the KURAMA-II. Distribution of the evaluated natural background radiation showed geological feature, and it was found that the radiations measured along paved roads were reflecting the distribution of terrestrial $$gamma$$-rays. The effect of the radioactive cesium as of 2014 for the municipalities designated as the Intensive Contamination Survey Area was beyond the uncertainty of the natural background radiation. That for the other municipalities, however, was found to be almost negligible.

Establishment of a clean laboratory for ultra trace analysis of nuclear materials in safeguards environmental samples

The JAERI has established a cleanroom facility with cleanliness of ISO Class 5: the Clean Laboratory for Environmental Analysis and Research (CLEAR). It was designed to be used for the analysis of nuclear materials in environmental samples for the safeguards, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty verification and research on environmental sciences. The CLEAR facility was designed to meet double conflicting requirements of a cleanroom and for handling of nuclear materials according to Japanese regulations, i.e., to avoid contamination from outside and to contain nuclear materials inside the facility. This facility has been intended to be used for wet chemical treatment, instrumental analysis and particle handling. A fume-hood to provide a clean work surface for handling of nuclear materials was specially designed. The performance of the cleanroom and analytical background in the laboratory are discussed. It can be concluded that the CLEAR facility enables analysis of ultra trace amounts of nuclear materials at the sub-picogram level in environmental samples.
