I carry out the assessment of fault activity of the Shimotsuburai and Hoozan faults belonging to the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line Active Fault System located at the northeast and east edges of the South Alps of Japan, using ESR (electron spin resonance) dating method. The age of the latest fault movement (T a ) of the Shimotsuburai fault, which is recognized as an active fault, is estimated as T a ≤ 1.04±0.14 Ma. This result means that the principle of ESR dating method of fault movement is sustained. On the other hand, the age of the latest fault movement of the Hoozan fault, which is regarded as an estimated active fault by a topographical feature, is estimated as T a ≤ 0.58±0.10 Ma. Therefore, I conclude that the Hoozan fault is probably an active fault having moved since the Middle Pleistocene.

Herein, we present the case study of the decontamination of highly activated concrete in the accelerator room. The activated cyclotron room for pharmaceutical for the positron emission tomography (PET) in the Medical and Pharmacological Research Center Foundation (Ishikawa, Japan) was decontaminated. The contact dose rates of the concrete walls, floor, and ceiling were measured at 50 cm mesh using a NaI survey meter. The depth profiles of spe cific activity in the concretes were obtained by core boring at seven different places. The activated concrete regions were estimated in detail based on the relationship between the measured contact dose rates and depth profiles of the specific activity. The activated concrete was chipped and

We examined fluctuations of dissolved 137 Cs concentration in the constant temperature storage of unfiltered water samples from forest rivers, urban rivers and agricultural reservoirs. When the water was acidified im mediately after sampling, the dissolved 137 Cs concentration during the 30-day storage period increased from the in situ concentration. The dissolved 137 Cs concentration without acid varied depending on the storage temperature, number of storage days, and the nature of the water. The findings suggest that it is possible to reproduce the in situ dissolved 137 Cs concentration by restoring the water temperature to that of the originally sampled water after a short period storage of refrigeration prior to filtration.

The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry conducted ʻ The Collaborative Experiment on a Correction of the True Coincidence Summing Effect for 134 Cs ʼ to investigate the causes of the underestimation of 134 Cs radio-activity of the certified reference material in the International Inter-Comparison Exercise. This work examined the analysis results of the collaborative experiment, and confirmed that it is the cause of the underestimation that the true coincidence summing (TCS) correction is not sufficient because the TCS correction of using com mercial gamma ray analysis programs do not consider the sample volume. This work developed and proposed the practical TCS correction method for general Ge detectors that considers the sample volume and examined the effectiveness of the method and confirmed that the underestimation can be reduced to less than 1 % .
