| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Development of β-ray detection device has been desired for inspecting the environmental pollution by the radioactive nuclides emitted as the results of the accident of the first nuclear power plant of Fukusima occured along with the great earthquake which covered over East Japan. Especially, detection of β-decay dominant 90Sr nucleus which has half-life of 28.78 years is important. To dispel the social fear of radiation, it is required for the detection-system to measure radioactivity of the object in a time as short as a few hours with a accuracy of less than 100Bq/kg. β-ray spectrometer, consisting of two pieces of plastic scintillator forming a counter-telescope, has been developed. A portable-type β-ray spectrometer has been developed and fabricated. By the aids of coincidence measurements with two plastic scintillators, background-free counting is available for detection of low-level emission of the β-rays as low as 10 Bq/kg requiring several hours operation.
