JAEA has developed a simple and fast simulation program "SACT" (Soil and Cesium Transport) to predict a long-term distribution of Cs deposited on the land surface due to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident. It calculates soil movement (erosion, transportation, deposition) and Cs migration, and predicts its future distribution with the assumption that it is adhered to soil. SACT uses USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation) for potential soil loss and simple equations for soil transportation and deposition. The Cs amount is predicted by the amount of soil movement and Cs concentration ratio for each grain-size of soil. SACT is characterized by its simplicity which enables fast calculation for wide area for long-term duration using existing equations. Data for parameters are widely available and site-specific calculations are possible using data of the targeted area. This manual provides useful and necessary information to users and facilitates the use of SACT widely.

Volcanic dykes were extracted from a geological map of 1 / 200,000 and location information was converted into GIS data. The number of volcanic dykes extracted was 593 in the Chugoku region, 228 in the Shikoku region, and 308 in the Oshima Peninsula in the southern part of Hokkaido. More than half of the major axis lengths of rock veins are less than 1km, and more than 80% including those less than 2km. Some rock veins exceed 10km, but they are distributed around the cauldron. The distribution of quaternary volcanic dykes exposed on the surface of the three areas is limited to within 10km from the quaternary volcano. Regarding the relationship between the quaternary volcano and the dykes older than the quaternary period, it is considered that the relationship is low as a result of examining the relationship such as the distance and the extension direction of the dykes. We also examined the relationship between Neogene-Tertiary volcanic activity and the dykes distributed in the surrounding area. In the case of Ishizuchi Cauldron, it was shown that the maximum distance from the related rock veins was about 5km. On the other hand, it was found that the dykes of the Kibi Plateau in the Chugoku region are distributed within a range of approximately 15km from the central point of activity. Comprehensive information gathering as described above and statistical examination using them are useful as basic information for investigating and evaluating the range of influence of magma in the geological disposal.
