  1. Approach for reduction of radiation exposure at Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. Shigeru Ito Nuclear Power Dept. Tohoku Electric Power Co.

  2. Higashidori NPS Onagawa NPS Tokyo Tohoku Electric Power Company Nuclear Power Plants Electricity Supply area Onagawa MWe Type Commercial Operation Unit-1(O-1) 524 BWR4 1984 Unit-2(O-2) 825 BWR5 1995 Unit-3(O-3) 825 BWR5 2002 Higashidori MWe Type Commercial Operation Unit-1(A-1) 1100 BWR5 2005

  3. Radiation sources that control plant doses Replacement-type sources Radioactive ions in reactor water are incorporated in the oxidized film generated on hot portion of the reactor piping system. ・PLR/CUW piping and components Base metal Deposition-type sources Radioactive crud in reactor water is deposited at horizontal portions and other portions where water flow is stagnant on slow ・CRD flanges ・Filters ・Low temperature pipe sections, such as those in the RHR system ・Horizontal portions of PLR/CUW piping ・Nozzle sleeves Base metal

  4. Measures to reduce crud (Clean plant action No.1) ① Improvement of work environment ② Protection ③ Maintenance of inner surface cleanliness Thorough storage management and maintenance of cleanliness on inner/outer surface of system piping and equipment Prevention of carried-in dust by installing air guns and jet sprays at doorways

  5. Measures to reduce crud (Clean plant action No.2) Thorough storage management During system test Purity control of test water Primary system cleanup operation During start-up test Condensate/feedwater purification operation Condensate/feedwater swing operation Reduction of carried-in crud Cleanup of hot well Cleanup of residual heat removal system Control of water treatment system Suppression of reactor water activity concentration First cycle

  6. Measures to reduce crud(LPRM Crud radioactivity)

  7. Water chemistry control( Operation with extremely-low Fe high Ni) Operation with extremely-low Fe high Ni Control of Ni/Fe ratio Fe Fe Ni,Co Ni,Co Behavior on fuel surface Co-60 Co-60 Reduction Adhesion of radioactive material to piping Incorporated Non incorporated Sparse NiFe2O4 Dense NiFe2O4

  8. Exposure reduction measures at Tohoku Electric Power Company “Clean Plant Activities”have been carried out by utility and contractors since Onagawa unit 1 construction.

  9. Exposure reduction measures at Higashidori
