| Contents | This database includes archives of environmental radiation data held by World Data Center (WDC) for Nuclear Radiation which was operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency in 1958-2006. It consists of environmental radiation data obtained in about 20 countries, particularly in the interval of IGY and IGC (1957-1959). After this interval, data coverage is mainly limited to environmental radiation data obtained in Japan. The WDC was closed in 2006, and the Japan Meteorological Agency keeps the dataset for data usage. The agency also published environmental radiation data in Japan in a yearly base until 2006. |

| Public Offering of Database | The data in bulletins held by the WDC for Nuclear Radiation are available for reading and hard-copying in the Japan Meteorological Agency. For environmental radiation data in Japan, the agency published the "Bulletin of the Radioactivity", which is a yearly report of environmental radiation data obtained by monitoring stations operated by the agency until 2006. The bulletin (a booklet or a CD-ROM) can be read and hard-copied in the agency. Current environmental radiation data obtained by a variety of agencies in Japan are assembled by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The database is available via Web page (only in Japanese) shown below: (http://search.kankyo-hoshano.go.jp/top.jsp). |
