Description

Fallout nuclides derived from the Chernobyl reactor accident (from now on CRA) in April 26 of 1986, were detected at Matsue in Shimane Prefecture (SW Japan located about 7,800 km East from Chernobyl reactor site) in rain water and airborne particles collected in May 4 (local time). The Shimane Prefectural Institute for Public Health and Environmental Science (SPI) started monitoring of the effect of CRA mainly by non-destructive gamma-ray spectrometry of various environmental samples collected from entire area in Shimane. Details of this observation will be given in the Science Report of SPI1). Besides the laboratory measurement of the samples collected, in-situ gamma spectrometry using high purity Ge detector was performed from May 9 to early July. This paper describes the results of in-situ measurement of the effects of CRA. (author)
