In the East Asia region, only three countries and one region use nuclear power generation. Nuclear power generation is expected to expand in this region with the growth of economy. For the future peaceful use of nuclear energy, nuclear non-proliferation culture should be fostered with confidence building through the transparency of peaceful nuclear activity between the each country in this region. This study will describe the measures that can contribute to the improvement of the transparency of peaceful nuclear activity in the aspect of non-proliferation in this region.

For the nuclear material accountancy of molten core material in Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1, 2 and 3 (1F1, 1F2 and 1F3), feasibility studies of variety of technologies are being performed. As one of the technologies, feasibility study of passive spectroscopy of low-volatile FPs for nuclear material accountancy in molten core material has been performed with reviewing TMI-2 experience, and the correlation of actinides and FPs inventory in core of 1F1, 1F2 and 1F3, considering the sensitivity of axial neutron spectrum, void, burnup, enrichment distribution unique to BWR fuel, and also leakage -ray from molten core materials sphere model. In the present paper, numerical simulation of leakage -ray from molten core materials in hypothetical canister is dealt for determination of radioactivity of low-volatile high-energy emission FPs, which could be utilized for nuclear material quantity estimation.

At the time of accident, about 270 tons of fuel were in Units 1- 3 at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Up to that time, material accountancy was implemented as an item facility for adequate material control and for the International Atomic Energy Agency's safeguards verification. Fuel debris contains nuclear fuel materials, fission products and structural materials, etc. Fuel debris will need to be controlled adequately after removal from the reactors, but material accountancy measures as an item facility no longer can be applied because of meltdown of the fuel. Development of measurement technologies for fuel debris may be required for adequate material control and accountancy of special nuclear material in the fuel debris at Fukushima Daiichi. Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and United States Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) have agreed to collaborate to investigate past experience on material control at severe accidents involving reactor core fuels and potential measurement technologies for fuel debris measurement. Besides DOE/NNSA and JAEA, Japanese Government, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) and the U.S. National Laboratories have been collaborating in this effort. This paper describes the purpose, objectives, structure and process of this collaboration.

In order to survey technologies to be developed for nuclear material quantification of fuel debris at 1F, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and United States Department of Energy (DOE) started collaborative research from November 2012. Under the collaborative research, three Working Groups, Neutron Working Group (NWG), Gamma Working Group (GWG) and Source Term Working Group (STWG) were established. The roles of GWG are to identify measurement systems that could be studied further for possible implementation at 1F. Candidate measurement technologies are Gross Counting, Dosimetry, -ray Spectroscopy, -ray Densitometry, -ray Imaging, Transmission (X-ray) Radiography, Prompt Fission -ray Counting and Spectroscopy, and Neutron Induced -ray Spectroscopy. Taking into account system cost, system size, measurement time, development period, and potential for applicability to fuel debris, GWG members have identified recommended combinations among the technologies supplemented with neutron measurement technologies. The evaluation was carried out by literature search and simulation works. This paper provides recommendations of the GWG for measurement systems based on mainly measurement technologies for nuclear material accountancy of fuel debris at 1F.
