In nuclear emergencies, it is especially important to carry out environmental monitoring over a wide range and provide the data immediately so as to understand the current distribution of radionuclides and investigate countermeasures. Therefore, it is indispensable for a nuclear emergency response to establish a system that supports rapid provision of these data. We have been developing the software platform by integrating technologies of environmental monitoring, information processing, and network communication, based on the experience of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident.
