The Shikoku Mountains are a non-volcanic uplift zone parallel to the subduction zone of the Philippine Sea Plate, and elucidation of its mountain building process is expected to contribute to constraining the long-term strain accumulation and release mechanism in the Nankai Trough. In this study, we attempted thermochronological analysis of nine granitoids of the Permian to Miocene age in the Shikoku Mountains using apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He (AHe, ZHe) and apatite fission-track (AFT) methods, which can provide thermal and exhumation history in the shallower crust (2 to 6 km depth). AHe and ZHe dating was conducted at the University of Melbourne, and AFT dating at the Tono Geoscience Center. AHe ages for eight samples ranged from about 55 to 7 Ma, AFT ages for five samples ranged from about 90 to 70 Ma, and ZHe ages for nine samples ranged from about 200 to 70 Ma. These data showed a consistent relationship considering the closure temperature of each method. They are also generally consistent with previously reported ZFT ages, biotite K-Ar ages, and AHe, AFT, and ZHe ages.

. The results for Sc and Zn nuclides supported evaluated values within the limits of uncertainties, while those for the other nuclides were slightly different from evaluated ones. The obtained results are useful not only for the evaluation of production amount, but also for the monitor selection other than Au and Co by considering those nuclides as flux monitors.

The Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced Decommissioning Science (CLADS), Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), had been conducting the Nuclear Energy Science & Technology and Human Resource Development Project (hereafter referred to "the Project") in FY2022. The Project aims to contribute to solving problems in the nuclear energy field represented by the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F), Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO). For this purpose, intelligence was collected from all over the world, and basic research and human resource development were promoted by closely integrating/collaborating knowledge and experiences in various fields beyond the barrier of conventional organizations and research fields. The sponsor of the Project was moved from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to JAEA since the newly adopted proposals in FY2018. On this occasion, JAEA constructed a new research system where JAEA-academia collaboration is reinforced and medium-to-long term research/development and human resource development contributing to the decommissioning are stably and consecutively implemented. Among the adopted proposals in FY2022, this report summarizes the research results of the "Development of radiation field mapping measurement system based on high radiation tolerant solar cells for low-light illumination" conducted in FY2022. The objective of the present study is to develop a system that can map radiation fields by applying independent and remotely operated sensors to obtain real-time radiation information in PCV. The system will be implemented in an actual environment to ensure the safety of workers and equipment by monitoring the leakage of gamma rays and neutrons, which are highly penetrating and can be a cause of accidents.

The present work is an attempt to measure the thermal-neutron capture cross-sections for some nuclides which are of importance in decommissioning to evaluate produced radioactivity. This work selected some of objective nuclides for decommissioning, such as Fe, Er and Hf, and measured thermal-neutron capture cross-sections for these nuclides by a neutron activation method at Kyoto University Research Reactor. The present results were obtained as follows:1.230.03 barn for Fe(n,)Fe reaction, 8.190.35 barn for Er(n,)Er reaction and 13.570.14 barn for Hf(n,)Hf reaction. As a by-product, the measurement of Hf sample also presented 0.4270.006 barn for 
Hf(n,)
Hf reaction. It has been revealed that the data adopted in an evaluated data library differ from the present results by more than experimental uncertainties.

-axis, obtained from magnetization using the relation 
. We observe a strong increase in entropy with magnetic field due to metamagnetic fluctuations (spatially uniform, 
). The field dependence is well described by the Hertz-Millis-Moriya theory for quantum criticality of itinerant metamagnetism. Notably, the lower bound of the quantum-critical region coincides well with the position of the minimum in the superconducting transition temperature 
. Hence, our results suggest that fluctuations reinforce the superconductivity.
