The Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced Decommissioning Science (CLADS), Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), had been conducting the Nuclear Energy Science & Technology and Human Resource Development Project (hereafter referred to "the Project") in FY2023. The Project aims to contribute to solving problems in the nuclear energy field represented by the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO). For this purpose, intelligence was collected from all over the world, and basic research and human resource development were promoted by closely integrating/collaborating knowledge and experiences in various fields beyond the barrier of conventional organizations and research fields. The sponsor of the Project was moved from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to JAEA since the newly adopted proposals in FY2018. On this occasion, JAEA constructed a new research system where JAEA-academia collaboration is reinforced and medium-to-long term research/development and human resource development contributing to the decommissioning are stably and consecutively implemented. Among the adopted proposals in FY2019, this report summarizes the research results of the "Human resource development related to remote control technology for monitoring inside RPV pedestal during retrieval of fuel debris" conducted from FY2019 to FY2023. The present study aims to construct a monitoring platform for understanding the status inside a reactor during fuel debris removal, and measurement and visualization by sensors moving on the platform. In addition, to develop research personnel through research education by participating in such research projects, classroom lectures, and facility tours is also a goal of this project. In FY2023, along with the verification of each system, a three-dimensional reconstruction model was generated using images acquired from a moving camera on the monitoring platform in a simulated environment, and an integrated experiment was conducted to demonstrate that it is possible to present images from the optimal viewpoint for the visualization target, with the cooperation of each research theme.

Directional vector-based quick evaluation method for protective plate effects in X-ray fluoroscopy (DQPEX)

Hizukuri, Kyoko*; Fujibuchi, Toshio*; Han, D.*; Arakawa, Hiroyuki*; Furuta, Takuya

Radiological Physics and Technology, 18(1), p.196 - 208, 2025/03

One of the radiation protection measures for medical personnel engaged in X-ray fluoroscopy is the use of radiation-protective plates and a simulation tool to evaluate effect of the plates is desired. Monte Carlo simulation has an advantage of being able to accurately calculate the interaction between radiations and various objects present in the X-ray room. However, Monte Carlo simulation has a disadvantage of being computationally time-consuming. Therefore, we developed a new simplified method to calculate the dose distribution in a short time with the presence of protective plates using pre-computed directional vectors (SCV). Using the Monte Carlo code PHITS, we simulated the ambient dose equivalent distribution the X-ray fluoroscopy room without the presence of protective plates. Assuming the dose at each voxel was all contributed from radiations in the direction indicated by the directional vector, the shielding effect of the protective plates for the dose at the voxel was determined whether the line toward backtrace of the directional vector has a intersect with the protective plate or not. With SCV, the computational time for the whole dose distribution with the presence of a protective plate was reduced approximately 1/6000 of the full PHITS simulation keeping the good accuracy to evaluate the effect of the plate.

The Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced Decommissioning Science (CLADS), Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), had been conducting the Nuclear Energy Science & Technology and Human Resource Development Project (hereafter referred to "the Project") in FY2022. The Project aims to contribute to solving problems in the nuclear energy field represented by the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F), Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc.

For this purpose, intelligence was collected from all over the world, and basic research and human resource development were promoted by closely integrating/collaborating knowledge and experiences in various fields beyond the barrier of conventional organizations and research fields. The sponsor of the Project was moved from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to JAEA since the newly adopted proposals in FY2018.

The present study aims to develop hand-foot-monitors for $$alpha$$-contamination visualization and cloth monitors for $$alpha$$/$$beta$$-contamination visualization consisting of a portable phoswich detector for measuring $$alpha$$/$$beta$$-contamination distribution and energy to ensure the safety and security of workers involved in the decommissioning project of the 1F. The possibility of practical application of new scintillator materials and devices was examined with the goal of developing such new instruments.

Quantitative visualization of a radioactive plume with harmonizing gamma-ray imaging spectrometry and real-time atmospheric dispersion simulation based on 3D wind observation

Nagai, Haruyasu; Furuta, Yoshihiro*; Nakayama, Hiromasa; Satoh, Daiki

Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 60(11), p.1345 - 1360, 2023/11

 Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:46.61(Nuclear Science & Technology)

A novel monitoring method for the quantitative visualization of 3D distribution of a radioactive plume and source term estimation of released radionuclides is proposed and its feasibility is demonstrated by preliminary test. The proposed method is the combination of gamma-ray imaging spectroscopy with the Electron Tracking Compton Camera (ETCC) and real-time high-resolution atmospheric dispersion simulation based on 3D wind observation with Doppler lidar. The 3D distribution of a specific radionuclide in a target radioactive plume is inversely reconstructed from line gamma-ray images from each radionuclide by several ETCCs located around the target by harmonizing with the air concentration distribution pattern of the plume predicted by real-time atmospheric dispersion simulation. A prototype of the analysis method was developed, showing a sufficient performance in several test cases using hypothetical data generated by numerical simulations of atmospheric dispersion and radiation transport.

Image-based view selection for shape comparison of mode water regions in virtual reality spaces

Yano, Midori; Ito, Takayuki*; Tanaka, Yusuke*; Matsuoka, Daisuke*; Araki, Fumiaki*; Czauderna, T.*; Stephens, K.*

Proceedings of Joint International Conference on Supercomputing in Nuclear Applications + Monte Carlo 2020 (SNA + MC 2020), p.201 - 208, 2020/10

Visual analysis plays an important role in understanding and evaluating the climate models, their variables, and their outputs because complex processes are required for the tuning of the climate models. Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are effective for 3D visualization and have been recently employed for visual analysis of more various scientific data. However, researchers may have some problematic situations while using VR space depending on user operations and target geometries. Here, we propose an image-based view selection method to solve these situations and understand differences in ocean states between simulations and observations based on shapes of mode water regions. This view selection takes evaluation criteria for shape comparison of mode water regions generated from simulations and observations into account. This paper introduces two example cases applying this view selection and discusses on a degree of shape matching of mode water regions of each case.
