🚦AIST, a device capable of measuring the radioactive contamination status of mud in a reservoir pond with a smartphone

– Measure depth distribution of radioactive cesium concentration in 10 minutes –

point

  1. Measure the depth distribution of radioactive cesium concentration simply by inserting it into mud in the bottom of the reservoir without sampling
  2. It is compact and lightweight, battery-operated, requires no cable connection and operates from smartphones etc. on Wi-Fi
  3. It can be manufactured cheaply from commercial parts, it is also possible for IoT deployment by residents to monitor pollution and connect with the Internet
