Radiation management
Some of the laboratories at RIKEN use radioactive materials. We are committed to managing these materials safely through constant monitoring.
We continuously monitor radioactive material,
and watch out for irregularities.
Emission monitor to measure airborne concentration of radioactive material
Some of our laboratories use radiation and radioactive materials for our research. That is why the monitoring posts inside our facilities and our outdoor emission detectors are continuously operating.
The wastewater is also monitored for facilities where radioactive material may get in, by pooling the water and measuring the radiation level before it is discharged into the sewage.
