Abstract :
In March 2011, a large earthquake hit Japan and damaged seriously. Because of this disaster, accidents was happen at Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant and many radioisotope has been released into the Japanese coast of the Pacific Ocean. We pay attention to 90Sr and propose the method to detect it in an hour.
