چکیده
6 A carborne survey system, named as KURAMA (Kyoto University RAdia7 tion MApping system), was developed as a response to the nuclear accident 8 at TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011. Now the system 9 has evolved into KURAMA-II, characterized by its compactness, autonomous 10 operation, and acquisition of pulse-height spectrum data. A two-year field 11 test of radiation monitoring by KURAMA-II on local buses, performed by 12 Kyoto University, has successfully proceeded to the phase of official opera13 tion by the Fukushima prefectural government, supported by Kyoto University 14 and JAEA (Japan Atomic Energy Agency). An outline and the current sta15 tus of KURAMA-II, including some results of the continuous monitoring by 16 KURAMA-II on local buses in Fukushima, are introduced. 17
