Environmental radiation monitoring around the Tokai Reprocessing Plant has been performed by the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories, based on "Safety Regulations for the Reprocessing Plant of Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Chapter IV - Environmental Monitoring". This annual report presents the results of the environmental monitoring and the dose estimation to the hypothetical inhabitant due to the radioactivity discharged from the plant to the atmosphere and the sea during April 2018 to March 2019. In this report, some data include the influence of the accidental release from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. (the trade name was changed to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. on April 1, 2016) in March 2011. Appendices present comprehensive information, such as monitoring programs, monitoring methods, monitoring results and their trends, meteorological data and discharged radioactive wastes. In addition, the data which were influenced by the accidental release and exceeded the normal range of fluctuation in the monitoring, were evaluated.

Based on the regulations (the safety regulation of Tokai reprocessing plant, the safety regulation of nuclear fuel material usage facilities, the radiation safety rule, the regulation about prevention from radiation hazards due to radioisotopes, which are related with the nuclear regulatory acts, the local agreement concerning with safety and environment conservation around nuclear facilities, the water pollution control law, and bylaw of Ibaraki prefecture), the effluent control of liquid waste discharged from the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories of Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been performed. This report describes the effluent control results of the liquid waste in the fiscal year 2014. In this period, the concentrations and the quantities of the radioactivity in liquid waste discharged from the reprocessing plant, the plutonium fuel fabrication facilities, and the other nuclear fuel material usage facilities were much lower than the limits authorized by the above regulations.

The radiological impact of the radionuclides released from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station to the sea offshore of Ibaraki has been studied in this research. Fifty-one seabed sediments were collected in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Then, all samples were measured for the activities of 
Cs and 
Cs and some samples were analyzed for the activities of 
Sr. The results indicated that the activities of Cs and Cs were elevated by the accident and showed a decreasing tendency between 2012 and 2014. The tendency of activity in Kuji Riverestuary area was different from Ibaraki coast area. The difference could be caused by geological feature and grain size of seabed sediment etc. On the other hand, Sr activities were ND-0.26 Bq/kg dry. It was no correlation between Sr and Cs activity. The Sr activity released by the accident was small influence on seabed sediment collected around sea offshore of Ibaraki.

Times Cited Count：16 Percentile：79.46(Chemistry, Analytical)Various kinds of radionuclides were released into the atmosphere and the sea from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) by the accident and then reached around our laboratories. Therefore the accident influence on our environment was investigated to measure the concentrations of cesium-134 (Cs), cesium-137 Cs, strontium-90 (Sr) and plutonium isotopes in seabed sediments. The values for Cs ranged from 6.1 to 300 Bq/kg (dry wt) and the ratio of Cs /Cs ranged from 0.48 to 0.77. The highest point of Cs concentration was observed at the northernmost station near Kitaibaraki City and the concentration was similar to report by MEXT.

Since the remote sensing technique for the meteorological observation has been developing these years, the Doppler Lidar is available in the commercial market. Although some investigation organization carried out the examination on the method and application of Doppler Lidars and had generally good results, the duration of the examination was limited in a short period. So it is unknown that the Doppler Lidar can be applicable to the long-term meteorological observation in the nuclear facilities to assess the public dose around nuclear facilities. In order to examine the long-term performance requested by the Japanese guideline for meteorological observation (i.e., the annual and the sequential 30-days missing rate should be less than 10% and 30%, respectively.) and the consistency with the data measured by conventional type, the wind direction and speed was measured by the Doppler Lidar (Windcube WLS7 made by Leosphere Co Ltd.) for one year, then compared with those by the propeller type installed at the top of the meteorological observation tower. As the result, the missing rate of the Doppler Lidar was satisfied with the guideline at the height less than 180 m, and the data at 68 m above the ground level (100 m above sea level) had a good relationship with the propeller data. From this fact, the Doppler Lidar used in this examination is considered to have a practicability for the dose assessment of the public.

Monthly deposition samples were collected in the NCL which is located at about 115km south of the Fukushima Daiichi NPP, and the radioactive nuclides were analyzed. Although radionuclides such as 
I (T
=8.02 days), 
Te-
Te (T=33.6 days) and 
Te-I (T=3.2 days) with Cs and Cs were observed by 
spectrometry at the early time of the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident, only Cs and Cs were detected as of September 2012. The annual deposition of Cs and Cs were about 19,000 and 17,000 Bq/m
, respectively in March 2011 - February 2012 after the accident. Moreover, Sr was detected in some samples. Monthly Sr deposition in March 2011 was 5.1 Bq/m month and then decreased after that. On the other hand, 
Pu concentration was the same level with the concentration before the accident.
