<p>Introduction: A large amount of radioactive Cs was emitted into the environment by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident. Adachi et al. (2013) first reported radiocesium-bearing microparticles (CsMPs) from aerosol filters. Subsequent researches showed that the CsMP is SiO<sub>2</sub> glass with Cs, Cl, K, Fe, and Zn mainly contained in the particle. Diameter of CsMP is ~1-10 μm and <sup>137</sup>Cs radioactivity is ~0.5 to 10<sup>2</sup> Bq. It has been suggested that the CsMP was mainly emitted from Unit 2 or Unit 3 of FDNPP based on the <sup>134</sup>Cs/<sup>137</sup>Cs activity ratio in the samples. Miura et al. (2018) reported CsMPs from the suspended particles in river water and their effect on K<sub>d</sub> value, which suggested CsMPs may exist in the ocean transported through rivers. Kubo et al. (2018) and Ikenoue et al. (2018) reported hot spots in the ocean samples by autoradiography but they did not separate CsMPs from these spots. In this presentation, we first report CsMPs separated from marine suspended particles, sinking particles, and sediments in coastal area of Fukushima and compare them with CsMPs from the terrestrial samples.</p><p>Method: We collected suspended particles (2011, 2013, 2015), sinking particles (2014), sediment cores (2011) from coastal area of Fukushima. By a wet separation method (Miura et al., 2018), we separated CsMPs from these samples. After measurement of radioactivity with a high-purity germanium semiconductor detector, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were performed for separated CsMPs. Using autoradiography, we calculated <sup>137</sup>Cs activity of unseparated hot spots over 0.1 Bq, which may be CsMPs.</p><p>Results and discussion: We separated 5 CsMPs from marine samples. The results of SEM-EDS analyses showed that these CsMPs have almost similar characteristics to the reported CsMPs because they mainly consist of Si, Cs, Fe, and Zn.  Their <sup>134</sup>Cs/<sup>137</sup>Cs showed that the CsMPs were from Unit 2 or 3 of FDNPP. <sup>137</sup>Cs radioactivity per volume is also similar to reported CsMPs from Unit 2 or 3. In this presentation, we will show the effect of CsMPs on K<sub>d</sub> values. CsMPs in the ocean samples will make apparent K<sub>d</sub> values be higher than intrinsic K<sub>d</sub> values related to the adsorption-desorption reaction to the clay minerals, which may explain the large variation of Cs concentration in marine samples.</p>

A new design of a scrubber has been developed and used in a deaerator. Deaeration of feed water in the boiler system is an essential process in industry today. Any facilities operating with steam have at least one deaerator to remove dissolved oxygen from the feed water. For an efficient removal process, the feed water has to be heated up to the saturation temperature at the pressure in the outlet section of scrubber. Numerical simulations were conducted for various designs of a scrubber with data used in the power plant industry in Korea and an efficient design was drawn from the numerical results. Experiments were conducted with new design of the scrubber for operating conditions similar to those in a power plant. The experimental results showed an excellent deaerator performance, satisfying the standard requirement of dissolved oxygen level of 5–7 ppb in industry.

Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Gas (PLTG) merupakan salah satu mesin pembangkit yang digunakan PT. Indonesia Power UP Bali dalam kegiatan industri pembangkit di Indonesia. Dalam pengoperasiannya mulai tahun 1994 hingga sekarang mesin PLTG masih menggunakan minyak solar/HSD sebagai bahan bakar pembangkit.Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk menganalisa unjuk kerja sistem PLTG khususnya analisa keekonomian dengan membandingkan penggunaan bahan bakar minyak solar dan gas pada mesin pembangkit. Spesific Fuel Consumption (SFC) adalah rasio perbandingan total konsumsi bahan bakar terhadap daya listrik yang dibangkitkan, SFC digunakan sebagai salah satu cara untuk mengetahui seberapa efisien sebuah mesin pembangkit dan salah satu penentu biaya produksi khususnya biaya bahan bakar yang diperlukan dalam pembangkit.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dengan harga minyak solar/HSD Rp 7300,- /liter dan gas US $ 11 /mmBTU, didapatkan biaya produksi listrik bahan bakar HSD secara aktual sebesar Rp 2541,86 /kWh, secara teoritis Rp 2336,00 /kWh dan gas secara teoritis Rp 1714,3 /kWh. Jika penjualan listrik Rp 1352,- /kWh, maka dengan menggunakan bahan bakar HSD akan berpotensi rugi sebesar Rp 1189,86 /kWh secara akutal, Rp 984,00 /kWh secara teoritis, dan Rp 362,00 /kWh dengan menggunakan bahan bakar gas. Gas Power Plant (PLTG) is one of the power plant used by PT. Indonesia Power UP Bali in the power plant industry in Indonesia. In operation from 1994 until now the PLTG engine is still using diesel oil / HSD as fuel generator. This research is intended to analyze the performance of PLTG system, especially economic analysis by comparing the use of diesel fuel and gas in generating machine. Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) is the ratio of total fuel consumption to electric power generated, SFC is used as one way to find out how efficient a generating machine and one determinant of production cost, especially fuel cost required in generating. Based on research results with the price of diesel oil / HSD Rp 7300, - / liter and gas US $ 11 / mm BTU, the actual cost of producing HSD fuel electricity is Rp 2541,86 / kWh, theoretically Rp 2336,00 / kWh and gas theoretically Rp 1714.3 / kWh. If the sale of electricity is Rp 1352, - / kWh, then using HSD fuel will potentially loss as much as Rp 1189.86 / kWh on a theoretical basis, Rp 984.00 / kWh theoretically, and Rp 362.00 / kWh using gas fuel .
