Measurement result of radiation level (July.29, 22)

July.29, 2022 Bureau of Sewerage

Please be informed that Bureau of Sewerage measured current radiation level at boundary of water reclamation centers and radioactivity concentration of incinerator ash and kneaded ash.

1.Radioactivity level on incinerator ash

  • Analyzed using germanium semiconductor detector (Ge Detector)
  • ND : Not detectable
  • ( ) : Detection limit
  • "Detection limit" refers to the minimum detectable value. For example, a detection limit "<10" means that the minimum measurement is 10 Bq/kg, and "ND" means that the radioactivity concentration incinerator ash is below 10 Bq/kg. "Detection limit" is varied on samples by measurement condition.

(2) Kneaded ash

  • "Kneaded ash" is water and cement added incinerator ash for landfill disposal and prevention of scattering
  • Analyzed using germanium semiconductor detector (Ge Detector)
  • ND : Not detectable

  • ( ) : Detection limit

  • "Detection limit" refers to the minimum detectable value. For example, a detection limit "<14" means that the minimum measurement is 14 Bq/kg, and "ND" means that the radioactivity concentration incinerator ash is below 14 Bq/kg. "Detection limit" is varied on samples by measurement condition.
