After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) accident in 2011, large amount of radionuclides were released to the environment. An exposed dose is one of the index for decision making of evacuations. To obtain the individual dose equivalent, the air dose rate and time to spend in an arbitrary place are necessary in each area where inhabitants stay. The place where inhabitants stay is categorized roughly according to indoor and outdoor in simple estimation of the exposed dose. It is known that the indoor air dose rate, Di, can be obtained by multiplying the outdoor air dose rate, Do, by reduction factor, RF. In case of wooden house, RF is reported as 0.4 which has the range from 0.2 to 0.5 (IAEA, 2000) and changes with floor area (Furuta and Takahashi, 2015) and indoor position; at the center of the house or by the window. However, the outdoor air-dose-rate distribution changes by the decontamination and the definition of RF become complicated because decontamination efficiency and the outdoor air-dose-rate differ from each location and materials. To evaluate the validity of RF represented as 0.4, in this study, we investigated indoor and outdoor air dose rate before and after decontamination for 17 Japanese wooden houses in four municipalities of Fukushima prefecture.
