Fukushima Prefecture's radioactivity measurement map

The Fukushima Prefecture's radioactivity measurement map is updated with every new measurement. (The data obtained by monitoring posts and real-time dosimeters are updated daily.)

Instrument and method for measuring radiation

Monitoring post

In total, 629 monitoring posts have been placed at public facilities in the prefecture to monitor changes in air dose rates.

Real-time dosimeter

Mainly to monitor the radiation dose rates in areas frequented by children, 2,996 units are installed in the prefecture's schools, childcare centers, parks, etc.

Mobile monitoring

Places where many people gather, such as tourist spots and meeting places, are measured with a survey meter once a year (twice a year for tourist spots).

Survey from vehicle

A car equipped with a radiation meter with GPS functions is used to measure the radiation dose rate in the air over a specified driving route. Some route buses are also equipped with such units to regularly conduct measurements.
