Environmental radiation safety
The goal of environmental radiation safety is determination of conduct analysis and characterization of radiation effect from various sources on human and environment so that ensure the safety from the radiation. For this purpose, the research covers radiation monitoring systems for the environmental and artificial radiation, shielding materials, radioactive radon and other various fields.

Development of Conceptual Technology for In-situ Detection of Pure Beta Nuclide-Contaminated Spots using Two Points Method
The two points beta detection method was analyzed and experimentally evaluated for in-situ real-time monitoring of the radioactive hot spot from beta-emitting nuclides in the decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) sites of nuclear power plants or nuclear accidents. The system comprised a scintillating fiber, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), an amplifier, and a counting device for detecting the short-range beta particles emitted during in-situ radiation measurement
Multiple Beta Spectrum Analysis Method Based on Spectrum Fitting
Beta spectrum has a wide range of energy distribution by beta-decay with neutrino. When the sample containing mixed beta emitting nuclides is measured, it is difficult to distinguish each nuclide due to overlapping of spectrums. In the present study, the analysis of the beta spectrum slope based on the curve fitting is suggested to separate the spectrums from the mixed sources
The development of focusing X-ray grid by micromachining

Environmental impact assessment due to the foreign nuclear power plant accident using atmospheric dispersion simulation
The potential environmental impact caused by nuclear power plant (NPP) accidents is gaining more attention after the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident in 2011. This nuclear accident was not only a problem for Japan, but also an international issue because of the dispersal of radionuclides to the entire world. In the case of hypothetical accidents with Chinese NPPs, the countries located in northeastern Asia could be directly affected by the dispersion of radionuclides through the westerly winds at mid-latitudes.
