Abstract

The space radiation dose rates at several points in Miyagi prefecture and their time dependencies were measured. Radiation exposure was mainly caused by ¹³¹I at the earlier stage of Fukushima first nuclear power accidents and then by ¹³⁴Cs and ¹³⁷Cs. We inspected radioactive contamination for food produced in Miyagi prefecture and Fukushima city. As the result, almost all food were safe.
