We would like to thank Ms. M. Komatsuzaki, Mr. K. Morita, Mr. N. Kobayashi, Ms. Kurihara, and Mr. M. Takase, for their maintenance of the apparatus and preparation of measurements. Thanks are also due to the staff working in BECKY section of NUCEF in JAEA for their cooperation. This research was implemented under the subsidy for nuclear security promotion from MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology).
