This annual report describes the activities in the 2024 fiscal year of Department of Radiation Protection at Nuclear Science Research Institute, Harima Synchrotron Radiation Radioisotope Laboratory, and Nuclear Facilities Management Section at Aomori Research and Development Center. The activities described in this report are environmental monitoring, radiation protection practices in workplaces, individual monitoring, maintenance of monitoring instruments, and research and development of radiation protection. At these institutes, the occupational exposures did not exceed the dose limits. The radioactive gaseous and liquid discharges from the facilities were well below the prescribed limits. The research and development activities in the field of radiological protection were continued.

We aimed to validate the performance of an in situ underwater radiation detector, MARK-U1 (Monitoring of Ambient Radiation of KAERI - Underwater), was used to estimate $^{137}$ Cs activity concentration in river and reservoir sediment at predicted sites of contamination. Additionally, underwater core samples were collected to measure the radioactivity using a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. To estimate radioactivity, a conversion factor was derived by comparing the measured spectrum and $^{137}$ Cs activity in the sample. A Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) simulation was conducted to determine the effective source geometry for in situ measurement. The simulation results correlated well with the on-site MARK-U1 monitoring results, with a deviation of 31.62%. These findings validate the performance of the in situ detector. This device can therefore be used to estimate $^{137}$ Cs activity concentration in the underwater sediment via on-site monitoring, without requiring sample collection.
