In Ehime Prefecture there is an enterprise, consisting of two nuclear facilities. Environmental monitoring is carried out in cooperation of the Governments, local governments and an enterprise according to the plan by a prefectural monitoring committee.
The purpose is the following three aspects:
(1) Estimation of the dose of general population, based on environmental radioactivity and released radioactivity data
(2) Grasping the radioactivity accumulation on long-terms
(3) Detection of abnormal release from the facilities at an early stage.
By environmental monitoring made thus far, no rise in environmental radioactivities due to the facilities is detected.
