In the future, radioactive waste which generated from nuclear research facilities in Japan Atomic Energy Agency are planning to be buried for the near surface disposal. It is necessary to establish the method to evaluate the radioactivity concentrations of the radioactive wastes. In this work, we studied the evaluation methodology of the radioactivity concentrations in concrete waste generated from JPDR. In order to construct the evaluation methodology of the radioactivity concentration, the validity of the evaluation methods was confirmed by mainly theoretical calculation and using the result of radiochemical analysis. Correcting the theoretical calculations using results of nuclide analysis, it is possible to evaluate the radioactivity concentrations of nuclides preliminary selected.

Radioactive wastes generated from nuclear research facilities in Japan Atomic Energy Agency are planning to be buried in the near surface disposal field as trench and pit. Therefore, it is required to establish the method to evaluate the radioactivity concentrations of radioactive wastes until the beginning of disposal. In order to contribute to the study of radioactivity concentration evaluation methods for radioactive wastes generated from nuclear research facilities, we collected and analyzed concrete samples generated from JRR-3, JRR-4 and JAERI Reprocessing Test Facility.

It is necessary to evaluate radioactivity inventory in wastes before disposal of low-level radioactive wastes generated from dismantling research reactors. It is efficient for owners of each research reactor to use a common radioactive evaluation method in order to comply with the license application for disposal facility. In this report, neutron transport and activation calculations were carried out for the Rikkyo University research reactor in order to examine a common radioactivity evaluation method for burial disposal of radioactive wastes generated by dismantling. We adopted the neutron transport codes DORT and MCNP and the activation code ORIGEN-S with cross-section libraries based on JENDL-4.0 and JENDL/AD-2017. The radioactivity concentrations obtained by the radiochemical analysis and both calculation codes were in agreement by 0.4 to 3 times. Therefore, by appropriately considering this difference, the radioactivity evaluation method by DORT, MCNP and ORIGEN-S can be applied to the radioactivity evaluation for buried disposal. In order to classify wastes from dismantling by clearance or buried disposal method according to their radioactivity levels, we also created radioactivity concentration distributions in the concrete area and graphite thermal column area.

Radioactive wastes which generated from research and testing reactors in Japan Atomic Energy Agency are planning to be buried at the near surface disposal field. Therefore, it is required to establish the method to evaluate the radioactivity concentrations of radioactive wastes by the time it starts disposal. In order to contribute to this work, we collected and analyzed the samples generated from JPDR and JRR-4. In this report, we summarized the radioactivity concentrations of 19 radionuclides ($$^{3}$$H, $$^{14}$$C, $$^{36}$$Cl, $$^{60}$$Co, $$^{63}$$Ni, $$^{90}$$Sr, $$^{94}$$Nb, $$^{99}$$Tc, $$^{rm 108m}$$Ag, $$^{129}$$I, $$^{137}$$Cs, $$^{152}$$Eu, $$^{154}$$Eu, $$^{234}$$U, $$^{238}$$U, $$^{238}$$Pu, $$^{239+240}$$Pu, $$^{241}$$Am, $$^{244}$$Cm) which were obtained from radiochemical analysis of those samples.

An EGS4 user code for designing $$gamma$$ ray detection systems

Oishi, Tetsuya; Tsutsumi, Masahiro; Sugita, Takeshi*; Yoshida, Makoto

Proceedings of 1st Asian and Oceanic Congress for Radiation Protection (AOCRP-1) (CD-ROM), 9 Pages, 2002/10

An EGS4 user code has been developed to design gamma ray detection systems for complex shapes of radioactive sources. The code is fundamentally based on the PRESTA-CG, which is improved on the electron transport in the EGS4 and specialized for using a combinatorial geometry (CG) method. The newly added functions are classified mainly into two parts of the transport of particles and the definition of sources. This user code was applied to some detectors used for low-level radioactive wastes monitoring in order to demonstrate the availability of this code. As the result, it was found that the response of anti-Compton spectrometer and the radiation background in a concrete building could be suitably estimated.

Development of HCl-free analytical methods for $$^{79}$$Se in concrete rubble by ICP-MS/MS

Do, V. K.; Banjarnahor, I. M.; Ota, Yuki; Tanaka, Yasuyuki; Furuse, Takahiro; Tanaka, Kosuke

no journal, , 

The presentation summarizes the results of the development of analytical method for $$^{79}$$Se in concrete rubble using inductively coupled plasma triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS). $$^{79}$$Se has been conventionally measured by a liquid scintillation counter (LSC). However, LSC measurement is time-consuming and susceptible to the radioactive interferences from highly radioactive nuclides ($$^{90}$$Sr, $$^{137}$$Cs, etc.) coexisting in the samples. In this regard, ICP-MS/MS is a powerful technique, which can effectively eliminate the interferences. In this study, we have developed an HCl-free chemical separation to recover Se and remove the $$^{79}$$Br isobar. Chemical recovery for Se was around 90%. Also, we investigated the best conditions to measure $$^{79}$$Se by ICP-MS/MS. The method detection limit of 0.1 Bq/g was achieved indicating that the developed method meets the requirements for the measurement of $$^{79}$$Se in the radioactive rubble collected at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Disposal project of low-level radioactive waste generated from research facilities, etc.; Development for impermeable function of cover soil of trench disposal facility

Sakai, Akihiro

no journal, , 

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is promoting the project for near surface disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated from research facilities, etc. Since a function to reduce infiltration water into the cover soil is needed at trench facilities for very low-level waste, we are calculating the infiltration water through the cover soil which is installed in various composition and parameters of the impermeable sheet, low permeable soil layer and drainage layer by using the HELP code developed by EPA and a calculation code by two-dimensional finite element method. This report outlines these studies that have been conducted on the impermeable function of the trenching facilities.
