Radiation monitoring instruments and systems that contribute to safety and security

Fuji Electric is working to develop methods for utilizing and monitoring radioactivity. In the monitoring field, Fuji Electric is developing and providing personal dose monitoring systems, survey meters and the like for use at newly constructed nuclear power plants and at an increasing number of worksites that use radiation. As personal dose monitoring systems, Fuji Electric provides a dose monitoring system capable of wireless real-time monitoring of doses detected with a semiconductor-based personal dosimeter, and a body surface monitor for use when entering or existing a radiation controlled area. Additionally, using a survey meter to measure the environmental radiation surrounding a radiation handling facility, and then sharing that data with local governments and disclosing it to the public, Fuji Electric also provides systems and survey meters for realizing safety and security for the local population.
