About radiation worker registration

To engage in radiation work, it is necessary to register as a radiation worker.For registration,
・Participation in education and training
Undergoing a special health checkup is required.
Please inquire at the Radioisotope Control Center for the timing of implementation of education training and special health checkups, and how to apply.

Application for Registration of Handling of Radioisotopes, etc.

When starting an experiment using radioisotopes, etc., we ask that you submit an "Application for Registration of Handling of Radioisotopes, etc.".

Radiation control equipment

Radiation control equipment
  • Various survey meters
    GM tube survey meter
    scintillation survey meter
    I own a tritium survey meter.  
  • exhaust equipment
    Air supply and exhaust in the controlled area is an all-fresh system.All exhaust is passed through two types of filters, a pre-filter and a HEPA filter, and the radioactivity in the exhaust is constantly measured by a monitor to confirm safety.
  • Drainage
    All wastewater discharged from controlled areas is temporarily stored in a wastewater tank, and the radioactivity in the wastewater is measured with a monitor to confirm that it is below the legal limit before being discharged.
  • Radioactive organic liquid waste incineration measures
    This equipment incinerates liquid scintillator waste liquid.
