Description
Vast amounts of radioactive materials were released to environment by the nuclear disaster of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant (NPP) in March 2011. A small amount of radionuclides were detected in rainwater even at Nagoya, 440 km far from the NPP. We report here results for fallouts in the unit of Bq/m2 at Nagoya, which are estimated from activity concentrations (Bq/cm3) and precipitations (mm) of rainwaters collected in the period from 20 March to 12 May 2011. -- Highlights: ► Vast amounts of radioactive materials were released from Fukushima Daiichi NPP. ► Low-level activities were included in rains at Nagoya, 440 km from the NPP. ► The first detection in rain was on 25 Mar, 2011, and the maximum was on 18 Apr. ► No artificial radionuclide was observed after 1 May, 2011. ► The activity concentrations was less than that of natural radionuclide, 7Be
