An example of the operational environmental monitoring program presented in the Guide for Environmental Radiation Monitoring by the Japan Atomic Energy Commission is shown in Table 9.5. 

In November 1996, the Japan Atomic Energy Commission(JAEC) established a Social Gathering Meeting to discuss generally the significance of FBR development in Japan for the future. 

The FBR in Jcpan The development of nuclear power in Japan is based on the premise that the FBR will become a major component of future nuclear capacity, alongside the LWR. In 1966, the Japan Atomic Energy Commission decided to go ahead with a national project to develop the FBR involving the government, universities and the private sector. The following steps were then taken ... 

The FBR is being developed as a future alternative to light water reactors in Japan. The shift from LWRs to FBRs, which is expected to start around 2030, is the reactor strategy in the "Long-term Plan for the Development and Application of Nuclear Power" established by the Japan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC). 

Prof. Rao is Chairman, Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, past President of The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), Member of the Atomic Energy Commission of India and Chairman, Indo-Japan Science Council. He is Founder-President of both the Chemical Research Society of India and of the Materials Research Society of India. Prof. Rao was President of the Indian National Science Academy (1985-86), the Indian Academy of Sciences (1989-91), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (1985-97), the Indian Science Congress Association (1987-88), and Chairman, Advisory Board of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (India). He was the Director of the Indian Institute of Science (1984-94), Chairman of the Science Advisory Council to Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi (1985-89) and Chairman, Scientific Advisory Committee to the Union Cabinet (1997-98) and Albert Einstein Research Professor (1995-99). 

For the majority of women living in countries with adequate iodine status (i.e., median urinary iodine concentration (MUIC) >150 ig/l), such as Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Switzerland (International Atomic Energy Commission, 1992), the additional increment of iodine during pregnancy is likely to be met,... 

Masao Tsuzuki, Medical Report on Atomic Bomb Effects (Medical Section, Special Committee for the Effects of the Atomic Bomb, National Research Council of Japan, January 1947). IJiis is the first medical report of the initial findings of the medical investigations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the United States it is available only in special collections. Uie findings have been mostly incorporated into the Report of the Joint Commission on the Medical Effects of the Atomic Bomb in Japan, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, 1951-54.1 obtained this report in 1989 from Dr. Tsuzuki s son, who was chairman of the Department of Siu-gery at Tokyo University.

You don t need to be reminded of the most recent nuclear accidents, principally Fukushima Daiichi in Japan in 2011. After the Three Mile Island accident in the late 1970s, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission developed WASH 1400, The Reactor Safety Study. The WASH 1400 report laid the foundation for the use of probabilistic risk assessments (called probabilistic safety assessments in Europe). According to Henley and Kumamoto (1991), probabilistic risk assessment involves studying accident scenarios and numerically rank[ing] them in order of their probability of occurrence, and then assess[ing] their potential consequence to the public. Event trees, fault trees, and other risk-consequence tools are applied in developing and studying these scenarios. These techniques are extremely useful for the engineer but very expensive. The nuclear industry has been the leader in probabilistic safety analyses. 

Atomic bomb, "Fat Man," dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. Atomic Energy Act of 1946 became law. Established the Atomic Energy Commission (AEQ and transferred Manhattan Project s programs and facilities to the five-member civilian commission.

Although World War II ended with the formal surrender of Japan on 2 September 1945, the work of the Manhattan Project continued for another 16 months. In January 1947, the Manhattan Project ceased when its work was transferred to the newly established Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).

The ISO Council on Reference Materials (REMCO) has identified more than 170 RM producers worldwide for the various fields of analyses. Two main bodies - the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA) and the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM, European Commission, Belgium), successor of BCR (which is now a trade mark for materials produced by IRMM) - cover several fields and ensure long-term availability of the CRMs due to the large batches of materials produced. Other producers specialize in a particular field of interest, e.g., the National Research Council of Canada (NRCC, Canada), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES, Japan), the IAEA Marine Environment Laboratory (Monaco), etc., specialize in marine analysis. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA, Austria) mainly provides materials for nuclear measurements but also supplies RMs for non-nuclear analyses.
