Beta dose rate measurements with an end-window GM survey meter in environments contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident

Tsujimura, Norio ; Yoshida, Tadayoshi

The authors made calibration of an end-window Geiger Muller (GM) survey meter in terms of the beta dose rate and applied it to measurement of the beta dose rate in the environments contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. The range of validity of the calibration factors to be applied to the GM probe was verified (1) by the measurement of contaminated soil samples removed from the crippled nuclear power plant site and (2) the environmental field survey at Fukushima city.
