[1M08] Investigation on distribution of radioactive substances in Fukushima

(2)Development of measurement techniques on radiation distribution based on KURAMA-II

*Minoru Tanigaki1 (1. Kyoto Univ.)

Keywords:KURAMA-II, soil contamination, MPPC, air dose rate, extremely small KURAMA-II

Recent progress on the monitoring techniques based on KURAMA-II, which has been widely used for the surveys of air dose rate and contamination in eastern Japan, are introduced. Especially in this presentation, the developments and applications of a robot for the visualization of soil contamination based on KURAMA-II, the application of an MPPC-based scintillation detector for environmental radiation monitoring, and the progress in the development of an extremely small KURAMA-II equipped with an LPWA radio unit are introduced.
