The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20ktons multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy as a primary physics goal. Due to low background requirement of the experiment, a multi-veto system ,which consists of a water Cherenkov detector and a top tracker detector, is required. In order to keep the water quality good and remove the radon in the water, a ultra-pure water system, a radon removal system and radon concentration measurement system have been designed. In this paper, the radon removal equipments and its radon removal limit will be presented.

A cable loop source calibration system is developed for the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, a 20 kton spherical liquid scintillator neutrino experiment. This system is capable of deploying radioactive sources into different positions of th
e detector in a vertical plane with a few-cm position accuracy. The design and the performance of the prototype are reported in this paper.
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory is a multipurpose neutrino experiment designed to determine neutrino mass hierarchy and precisely measure oscillation parameters by detecting reactor neutrinos from the Yangjiang and Taishan Nuclear Power
Plants, observe supernova neutrinos, study the atmospheric, solar neutrinos and geo-neutrinos, and perform exotic searches, with a 20-thousand-ton liquid scintillator detector of unprecedented 3% energy resolution (at 1 MeV) at 700-meter deep underground. In this proceeding, the subsystems of the experiment, including the cental detector, the online scintillator internal radioactivity investigation system, the PMT, the veto detector, the calibration system and the taishan antineutrino observatory, will be described. The construction is expected to be completed in 2021.
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory is proposed to determine neutrino mass hierarchy using a 20~ktonne liquid scintillator detector. Strict radio-purity requirements have been put forward for all the components of the detector. According to
the MC simulation results, the radon dissolved in the water Cherenkov detector should be below 200~mBq/m$^3$. Radium, the progenitor of radon, should also be taken seriously into account. In order to measure the radium concentration in water, a radium measurement system, which consists of a radium extraction system, a radon emanation chamber and a radon concentration measurement system, has been developed. In this paper, the updated radon concentration in gas measurement system with a one-day-measurement sensitivity of $sim$5~mBq/m$^3$, the detail of the development of the radium concentration in water measurement system with a sensitivity of $sim$23~mBq/m$^3$ as well as the measurement results of Daya Bay water samples will be presented.
We describe the design, installation, and operation of a purification system that is able to provide large volumes of high purity ASTM (D1193-91) Type-I water to a high energy physics experiment. The water environment is underground in a lightly seal
ed system, and this provides significant challenges to maintaining high purity in the storage pools, each of which contains several thousand cubic meters. High purity is dictated by the need for large optical absorption length, which is critical for the operation of the experiment. The system is largely successful, and the water clarity criteria are met. We also include a discussion of lessons learned.
The radioactive noble gas radon can be a serious background source in the underground particle physics experiments studying processes that deposit energy comparable to its decay products. Low energy solar neutrino measurements at Super-Kamiokande suf
fer from these backgrounds and therefore require precise characterization of the radon concentration in the detectors ultra-pure water. For this purpose, we have developed a measurement system consisting of a radon extraction column, a charcoal trap, and a radon detector. In this article we discuss the design, calibration, and performance of the radon extraction column. We also describe the design of the measurement system and evaluate its performance, including its background. Using this system we measured the radon concentration in Super-Kamiokandes water between May 2014 and October 2015. The measured radon concentration in the supply lines of the water circulation system was $1.74pm0.14~mathrm{mBq/m^{3}}$ and in the return line was $9.06pm0.58~mathrm{mBq/m^{3}}$. Water sampled from the center region of the detector itself had a concentration of $<0.23~mathrm{mBq/m^{3}}$ ($95%$ C.L.) and water sampled from the bottom region of the detector had a concentration of $2.63pm0.22~mathrm{mBq/m^{3}}$.
