Fukushima Some monitoring posts could not be measured due to typhoon, October 16th 23:40

As a result of Typhoon No. 19, it was found that over 80 “monitoring posts” that measure the radiation dose installed in Fukushima can no longer be measured. The Nuclear Regulation Authority is investigating the detailed cause.

In Fukushima Prefecture, there are approximately 3,700 monitoring posts that measure radiation dose, but when the Nuclear Regulatory Agency investigated, data from 83 monitoring posts including Iwaki City and Motomiya City can no longer reach. It is that.

Both are used for normal observation, and no abnormality has been reported in the facilities that measure during a nuclear accident.

In addition, 2 units in Ibaraki Prefecture and 1 unit in Miyagi Prefecture have not been measured.

This seems to be due to the heavy rain of Typhoon No. 19, but the details are not known, and the regulatory agency is investigating the cause.

Prospect of recovery does not have standing.

As for the monitoring post, data from some typhoon No. 15 last month could not be received at some facilities in Chiba Prefecture.
