Fukushima Radiation and Radioactivity Measurement Metadata Archives

Introduction

  The accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster), which was caused by Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011, brought widespread radioactive contamination damage to Fukushima Prefecture and the rest of eastern Japan.

  Immediately after the accident, many organizations and individuals, including the government, private sectors, and universities, were actively involved in radiation measurement, and a vast amount of measurement data on radiation and radioactive materials were recorded and disseminated. Ten years have passed since the accident, and it becomes difficult to obtain the overall picture of the measurements, and the loss of the initial data is ongoing.

  This website is the database of meta-information (meta-database) about the radiation measurements related to the Fukushima Daiichi Reactor Accident, such as measured observables, methods, locations, dates and times of measurements, and the available location of the data, especially focusing on the measurements taken immediately after the accident, so that one can search for what data you can find where.

  This site also collects information (metadata) on measurement data. If you have radiation measurement data related to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, we highly encourage you to provide meta-data information of your data such as the date and place of measurement, the methods, and the data availability, and so on. This is the important first step to preserve your data for further data archiving process.

What's New

  • Some metadata has been updated.

    • Pages have been renewed.

    • A part of the radiation measurement metadata has been released to the public. We are planning to add more information sequentially.
