Abstract

TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (11^th March 2011) brought radioactive materials in wide area such as soils, forests, roofs of houses and cars, and so on. Radioactive materials released were accumulated on local sites such as mountain foot, side ditch and pond by wind and rain. It was difficult to identify contaminated spots such as side grooves, and drain pipes by conventional radiation counters, especially in non-uniform irradiation field, Here, if there is one portable and flexible detector, it is convenient to measure easily various kinds of samples and radiation fields irrespective of accuracy. Considering that it is relatively easy to handle various kinds of measurements, the development of a flexible radiation detector is required.
