福島県にある開成山公園は郡山市で最も人の集まる公園。

除染が行われ、モニタリンポストの数値は０．３マイクロシーベルト以下。

しかし測定を行うと、その「数倍」の数値が測定された。

除染を終えた場所でも、泥がたまり局所的に線量が高くなる、「マイクロホットスポット化現象」の問題に直面する、開成山公園の今を測定してみた。

Kaiseiazan-park in Koriyama is the most popular park in the city.

Masa in Koriyama visited the park with a radiation counter and made a short film about the visit. 

Three and a half years have passed since the nuclear disaster and the park has been decontaminated and a monitor at the park now shows less than 0.3 μSv. 

However, Masa’s own counter showed higher values in various spots in the park, and seriously high values were found in the sludge accumulated on the ground. These “micro hotspots” are everywhere in the park.
