| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a simple field survey system for gamma ray emitted from radioactive cesium accumulated in reservoir bottom sediment. The system is composed of a CsI analyzer in waterproof acryl box, a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, and a trace drawing software. The software can draw spatial distribution of gamma ray by checking csv files saved by the CsI analyzer and tracing log file saved by the GNSS receiver in real time. The system enable to understand spatial distribution and hot spots of gamma ray in bottom sediments. The concentration of radioactive cesium can be calculated from the gamma ray values by a correlation curve obtained in same water bodies.
