September 2024, 12

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 6rd 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
