Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A large concern on health effects by low dose radiations has increased among Japanese nations since Fukushima nuclear accident. On the other hand, radon, one of natural radioactive materials, gives a signifocantly socia problem in the world. A sophisticated exposure chamber system has been developed throughout the present study for the fival purpose of development of radon dosimeters. This system will be used for calibration of many other dosimeters produced in foreign countriee based on their requirement.
