News First year of Reiwa Sake brewing rice from Niigata Prefecture Radioactive material test results

2020/01/10

XNUMX. Survey and inspection method

  • Target area: 5 points in Niigata prefecture (Kaetsu East, Kaetsu West, Sado, Chuetsu, Joetsu)
  • Target varieties: "Gohyaku mangoku", "Takane Nishiki", "Koshitanrei" from Niigata prefecture, produced in the first year of Reiwa
  • Collection method: Brown rice is collected and analyzed at the time of harvest.
    Analytical organization: Niigata Prefectural Institute for Environmental Health
  • Analytical method: Gamma ray spectrum by germanium semiconductor detector
  • Target nuclides: radioactive iodine, radioactive cesium
  • Lower limit of quantification: 5Bq / kg (becquerel)
    (The lower limit of quantification is the minimum value that can be quantified by the analytical method and the minimum value that the analytical institution can prove based on the measurement.)
