The secular change of radioactivity's concentration in airdust from Fukushima Daiichi plant at Osaka, Nagoya and Ibaraki

  • 1. Osaka University, Graduate School of Science, Toyonaka, Osaka (Japan)

Description

The polluted air dust by radioactive waste from Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant have been measured from March 2011 onward at Osaka (Toyonaka), Aichi (Nagoya) and Ibaraki (Mito and Hitachi). Radioactivity of 131I, 134Cs, 136Cs and 137Cs were measured by HPGe γ-ray spectrometer for the 365, 605, 819 and 662 keV γ-ray, respectively. Iodine-131 had been first detected from March 18 in Nagoya, and 134Cs and 137Cs began to be observed after 10 days. Concentrations of 131I, 134Cs and 137Cs in the air were in the range of 0 to 14, 0 to 18 and 0 to 20 mBq/m3, respectively, with two peaks in April 6 and 17. These peaks may be suggested by the existence of high concentration of polluted air mass which is rotated around the earth. (author)
