KEK Tsukuba site is located at 165 km distance from Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power station. After the East Japan Earthquake on March 11, the electric current was almost cut off. Only few radiation monitors at the site boundary were powered from outside, and they detected steep increase of gamma-ray doses at 2:13 on March 15. Then radiation and radioactivity measurements from the power plants were started in KEK Radiation Science Center.
