The Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories conducts environmental radiation monitoring around the reprocessing plant in accordance with the "Safety Regulations for Reprocessing Plant of JAEA, Part IV: Environmental Monitoring". This report summarizes the results of environmental radiation monitoring conducted during the period from April 2022 to March 2023 and the results of dose calculations for the surrounding public due to the release of radioactive materials into the atmosphere and ocean. In the results of the above environmental radiation monitoring, many items were affected by radioactive materials emitted from the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company, Incorporated (changed to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. on April 1, 2016), which occurred in March 2011. Also included as appendices are an overview of the environmental monitoring plan, an overview of measurement methods, measurement results and their changes over time, meteorological statistics results, radioactive waste release status, and an evaluation of the data which deviated of the normal range.

A gyrotron for electron cyclotron heating and current drive (ECH/CD) has been developed for JT-60SA (Super-Advanced). In high-power, long-pulse operations, oscillations of 1 MW/100 s have been demonstrated at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz, for the first time. These results fully satisfied the requirements for JT-60SA. Moreover, it was experimentally shown that the higher power operation at each frequency is expected to be acceptable for this gyrotron from the viewpoint of heat load at the cavity resonator, collector, and stray radiation absorbers. An oscillation at 82 GHz, which is an additional frequency, has been demonstrated up to 2 s at the output power of 0.4 MW, so far. High power experiments toward higher power of 1.5 MW (110/138 GHz) and 1 MW (82 GHz) are ongoing.

A gyrotron enabling high-power, long-pulse oscillations at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz has been developed for electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (CD) in JT-60SA. Oscillations of 1 MW for 100 s have been demonstrated at both frequencies, for the first time as a gyrotron operating at two frequencies. The optimization of the anode voltage, or the electron pitch factor, using a triode gun was a key to obtain high power and high efficiency at two frequencies. It was also confirmed that the internal losses in the gyrotron were sufficiently low for expected long pulse operation at the higher power level of $$sim$$1.5 MW. Another important result is that an oscillation at 82 GHz, which enables to use fundamental harmonic waves in JT-60SA while the other two frequencies are used as second harmonics waves, was demonstrated up to 0.4 MW for 2 s. These results of the gyrotron development significantly contribute to enhancing operation regime of the ECH/CD system in JT-60SA.

Long pulse operation of the dual frequency gyrotron was started for JT-60SA ECH system. Pulse length of 2 s at 0.4 MW output, and 1 s at 0.7 MW were obtained at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz, so far. Typical oscillation efficiency is about 30%. Diffraction loss was acceptable for long pulse 1 MW output. The first high power test of the "power and beam profile monitor" featuring a fast movable Si$$_{3}$$N$$_{4}$$ disk in the waveguide slit was successfully demonstrated.

An original design of the toroidal injection angle range of electron cyclotron waves in JT-60SA was -15 degree to +15 degree for effective use of 110 GHz wave. However, the modification of the toroidal angle range has been discussed since the frequency of 138 GHz is considered to be a second frequency by the use of a dual frequency gyrotron. We report newly calculated available steering range of the launcher on both poloidal and toroidal angles with and without tilting angle of the second mirror, which is considered to obtain large toroidal injection angle. Moreover calculated beam divergences for various curvature radiuses of the first and second mirrors are shown. The decision of the target injection angle range for JT-60SA initial plasma will be made by the JT-60SA physics team by taking into account the above calculation results.

Developments of a dual frequency (110 GHz and 138 GHz) electron cyclotron heating and current drive system for JT-60SA are required. In a long pulse operation of a dual-frequency gyrotron, oscillations of 1 MW for 10 s at both frequencies were obtained, so far. Out gas in the gyrotron has been decreased shot by shot, and conditioning of the gyrotron is in progress. Oscillation efficiencies of higher than 30% were obtained for both frequencies. Measured internal diffraction loss was almost the same level of the previously developed 110 GHz long pulse gyrotron. From the above results, it is expected that further pulse length expansion is possible by continuing conditioning operations. Moreover, optical characteristics of an antenna, which is used to inject high-power millimeter waves into tokamak, was confirmed for dual frequency operation. It was found that the beam width for the 138 GHz wave is narrower than that for the 110 GHz wave.

A high-power long-pulse dual-frequency gyrotron, which can be operated at both 110 GHz and 138 GHz independently, was successfully developed for electron cyclotron heating and current drive in JT-60SA. The output power of 1 MW and the pulse length of 100 s were obtained at both frequencies with the high oscillation efficiency (not including an efficiency enhancement by collector potential depression) of 34% (110 GHz) and 32% (138 GHz), respectively, for the first time. The target of the JT-60SA gyrotron was fully satisfied by this gyrotron. An optimization of the electron pitch factor was a key to obtain the high efficiencies, and oscillation characteristics of the gyrotron were experimentally confirmed.
