Results of Radioactive Cesium Deposition of the Unmanned Helicopter Monitoring within the 5 km Radius from the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPP ( From September 2016 to October 2016 )
  1. This data was created based on results of air dose rates measured by an unmanned helicopter within the 5 km radius of the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPP from September 1, 2016 to October 13, 2016 in the FY2016 Distribution Survey by NRA.
  2. Their flight altitude was 80 m above ground. The air dose rate at the ground surface is the averaged value of gamma dose in an 80 m diameter circle (varies by flight altitude) below the aircraft.
  3. The width of the track of the unmanned helicopter was 80 m.
  4. The flight velocity was approximately 8 m/s (28.8 km/h).
  5. Using a LaBr3(Ce) (lanthanum bromide) scintillation detector (ø 1.5" × 1.5" × 3 pcs), gamma ray from the ground and the direct and scattered gamma ray radiation from the NPP (counting rate), as well as energy spectra were measured every one second.
  6. The air dose rates of radioactive cesium (cesium-134, 137) were obtained by subtracting the average air dose rate (43±20 nSv/h, error = standard deviation σ) due to natural radionuclides (potassium 40, uranium series, and thallium series), from the measured values of the in-situ measurement using germanium semiconductor detector in the restricted area. Subsequently, using the conversion factor between the air dose rate at a height of 1 m above the ground and the deposition density of radioactive cesium at relaxation mass β = 1.0 g/cm2 (Refer to "Method of the in-situ measurement using germanium semiconductor detectors" of MEXT's Radiation Measurement Method Series No.33), deposition densities of cesium 134 and cesium 137 were derived.
