Abstract

Abstract A tractor-based robot with the capability of real-time assessing and visualizing the radioactive material density and fertility distribution of farmlands has been developed to accelerate the recovery process of the farmlands suffered by the accident of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP). In a field test at a decontaminated farmland near FDNPP, within-field heterogeneities of soil contamination and fertility are clarified almost in real-time. Results obtained by this robot are consistent with the map by the conventional soil sampling or the history of decontamination activities.
