Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop radiation education modules which are requested by school teachers who are the core of the human resource development as a foundation for safety culture improvement.
In the viewpoint of the field of radiation measurement, we developed a simple radiation detector for school education, based on the mechanism of the natural atmospheric pressure air GM counter. In the viewpoint of the field of education and social psychology, we investigated the latest situation of (1) information spread activities on radiation science and technology in various facilities, (2) nuclear and radiation education for secondary school students and teachers in foreign countries, and (3) expert development in the nuclear and radiation fields. We developed a simple tool for radiation education and practice modules. We utilized the modules in domestic and foreign secondary schools experimentally.
