IMPACT ON ABSORBED DOSE RATE IN AIR IN KANTO REGION BY FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ACCIDENT.

Radiat Prot Dosimetry

Department of Radiological Sciences, Tokyo Metropolitan University, 7-2-10 Higashiogu, Arakawa-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Published: October 2019

Absorbed dose rates in air were measured for the whole area of the Kanto region in 2015, 2016 and 2017 (n = 31 147). The mean absorbed dose rates in air for each prefecture measured by car-borne surveys were from 44 to 67 nGy h-1 (13-289 nGy h-1). The absorbed dose rate in air from artificial radionuclides (134Cs + 137Cs) measured by fixed-point observation (n = 507) was from 1 to 14 nGy h-1 (0-105 nGy h-1), and meaning that the contribution ratios of 134Cs and 137Cs were 3-22%. The deposited location of artificial radionuclides was less than 1000 m from ground level and depended on the topography, wind direction and precipitation field.
