When a nuclear emergency occurs in Japan, JAEA has the responsibility of providing technical support to the National government, local governments, etc., by the Basic Law on Emergency Preparedness and the Basic Plan for Disaster Countermeasures. NEAT of JAEA gives technical advice and information, dispatch specialists as required, supplies with the National Government and local governments emergency equipment and materials. NEAT provides various lectures and training courses concerning nuclear disaster prevention for emergency response organizations at normal time. Concerning the assistance to the Accident of Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Station caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake on 11 March, 2011, JAEA assisted activities including environmental radiation monitoring, environmental radioactivity analyses, resident public consulting etc., with its the utmost effort. This annual report summarized these activities of NEAT in the fiscal year 2011.

Thermochronometric methods are used to identify the denudation history of the Akaishi Range, which has been uplifted since the late Pliocene. ZHe grain ages range 21.5-3.0 Ma and systematically younger to the east, implying a westerly tilting uplift of the Akaishi Range. We estimated denudation rates at 1.2-2.2 mm/yr or more in the Akaishi Range. These high denudation rates imply the topography of the Akaishi Range reflects post-uplift factors, e.g., spatial distribution of bedrock uplift rates and various denudation processes, rather than inherited geometry from the pre-uplift topography. Considering younger AFT ages previously reported in the southern part of the Akaishi Range, the Akaishi Range is considered to have had at least two uplifting stages, i.e., uplifting of the northern part since the late Pliocene and uplifting of the southern part since 1 Ma, probably attributable to reverse faulting of ISTL and collision of the Izu block to the south Fossa Magna area, respectively.
