Japan Developed Pocket Radiation Meter Only Coin Size

The Japan Institute of Industrial Technology announced the development of a pocket radiometer with a size of only 500 yen. According to a report by Kyodo News, the Japan Industrial Technology Research Institute (Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture) announced on the 13th that it has developed only 500 days. A portable coin-sized portable radiation meter measures up to 6 months of radiation in a single battery.

According to reports, the measuring instrument weighs 10 to 20 grams and can be measured every hour or once per day. A button battery can be used for 2 to 6 months. The instrument controls the number of parts to the minimum range. The instrument itself cannot display the amount of radiation, but it can be connected to a computer to read the data.

The instrument can also be set so that when the amount of radiation exceeds a certain value, the indicator of the meter flashes and rings. At present, most of the measuring instruments on the market are tens of thousands of yen, but this product developed by the institute will control the price below 10,000 yen and strive for the market after 2 to 3 months.
