In a mixed field of photon and beta radiations, the same dose assigned to skin is normally assigned to the dose to the lens of the eye as a conservative estimate of H(3). In exceptional cases that a very high beta dose might be imparted of the same order with the dose limit, however, the conservatively biased dose must be too limiting, and thereby an accurate estimate of beta (3) is desirable. This article presents a practical proposal of when and how the dosimetry of beta (3) should be made.

A brief review is given of the history and methodology of external dosimetry for the lens of the eye. Under the 1989 revision to domestic radiological protection regulations, the concept on the effective dose equivalent and the dose limit to the lens of the eye (150 mSv/y) both introduced in ICRP 1977 recommendations has changed nationwide the external monitoring methodology in non-uniform exposure situations to the trunk of a radiological worker. In such situations, often created by the presence of a protective apron, the worker is required to use at least two personal dosemeters, one worn on the trunk under the apron and the other, typically, at the collar over the apron. The latter dosemeter serves the dual purpose of providing the dose profile across the trunk for improved effective dose equivalent assessment and of estimating the dose to lens of the eye. The greater or appropriate value between (10) and (0.07), given by the dosemeter, is generally used as a surrogate of (3).

A biofertilizer is a substance that holds beneficial microorganisms for plant growth in a carrier material. To demonstrate the effect of -sterilization, the survival of the was monitored to assess the shelf life of biofertilizers. As biofertilizer carriers, five kinds of typical Japanese soil-based materials were used. Following the sterilization of carrier materials by -irradiation or autoclaving, was inoculated into each material. The biofertilizer was stored for 12 months at 4C or 30C. After storage, viable inoculants in the biofertilizer were enumerated. Results indicated that inoculant density after storage was greater than the initial density in biofertilizers made from sterilized carriers, whereas it decreased significantly in biofertilizers made from non-sterilized carriers. -sterilization was superior to autoclave sterilization in enhancing inoculant survival in some cases.

A detailed design for a New Material Nitric Acid Recovery Evaporator was carried out with a plan to use it to replace an already constructed stainless steel Nitric Acid Recovery Evaporator at the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation's Tokai Works. Most of the original Evaporator's conditions such as compliance with applicable laws, standards, structure, treatment performance and operating conditions were maintained when designing the new machine. The material is titanium with the addition of 5% tantalum. The Evaporator was designed with an operational life expectance of 10 years. We have calculated that the new Evaporator will have sufficient strength (including a seismatic design) and have the same evaporative performance as the already constructed one. During design, we referred to the results of already completed basic designs (Phase 1) of New Material Nitric Acid Recovery Evaporators, design and production of small-scale test equipment units, and the development of successful joints between different materials. We also considered manufacturing, installation, trial runs, maintenance, and the specifications for materials used for manufacturing, installation, piping and operation of the new Evaporator.

With the aims of utilization as a biofertilizer inoculant and elucidation of high-temperature tolerance mechanism of soybean nodule bacteria, we had applied the ion beam breeding technology to a strain () USDA110. Consequently, we obtained a mutant named M14 which was able to maintain high viable cell numbers under high-temperature (42C) for at least 7 days. Genome comparison with USDA110 revealed that (1) 1.27 Mbp inversion mutagenesis and (2) 18 single base mutations were occurred in M14. This study was the first attempt to apply the ion beam breeding technology to a prokaryote and succeeded in proving the effectiveness of it.

Cementitious grout material will be used to reduce groundwater inflow into the repository of high level radioactive waste. High pH solution derived from cementitious grout material may cause alteration of rock mass by grout-rock interactions. With regard to evaluation of radionuclide migration, it is important to evaluate the long-term behavior of rock mass affected by grout-rock interactions since such altered rock mass potentially affects on migration behavior (e.g., diffusion and sorption) of radionuclide. This study presents the results of identification for trace secondary minerals (alteration products) by (micro)infrared spectroscopy and determination of reaction rate constants of formation for secondary minerals.
