Radioactive substances such as radioactive cesium are released into the environment due to the accident at the nuclear power plant caused by the 2011 Tohoku Region Pacific Offshore Earthquake that occurred on March 11, causing pollution of the environment. It was required to promptly reduce the influence of released radioactive substances on human health and living environment. In this report, we deal with notes on decontamination work to remove radioactive materials (nuclides) mainly radioactive cesium released into the environment from nuclear power plants from the living environment and to reduce residual radiation exposure, Based on the findings obtained at the site so far.
