Activity for society after 3.11

I will write about the activity for society after 3.11. The biggest activity was making the air counter.

 

“Air counter” is a radiation meter for home use. It is outside of them field. But they made it with Professor Masahiro Fukushi. It was sold from Oct.20 2011. First, they said the price is 157,500 yen. But they changed it 9,800 yen. The reason is for people to use. Before the air counter was sold, there are any radiation meters for home use. There are just for corporation. So the cost is too high. These radiation meters are more 100,000 yen. So people couldn’t buy it. And there is any description.

 

After the big earthquake, we needed radiation meter, because foods and roads may be radioactive contamination. So people couldn’t eat food and walk to schools peace of mind. If you eat the food, you would be sick. For example people get cancer. First, they sell it 15,750 yen. But they changed. So it was needed by a lot of victims. Although it were planned at the drugstore of Kanto or a northeast, the home center, etc. But they decided to carry out precedence sale a center from the height of the demand.

 

They said “After the 3.11 earth big quake, we thought that if people would like to be helpful to many citizens by whom radiation is exposed uneasy considered. And thought that since children will feel easy in the future and lived. The thing which needs what now, the answer was a home radiation meter "air counter”.”

 

And there was a desire to offer the radiation meter whose performance it is cheaper and is higher. It decided to introduce into an "air counter" the technology from the other company which pulls out the performance of a semiconductor sensor more highly. It was sold in October 20, 2011. Thereby, the performance of sensitivity was able to be improved further. And they sold the 2nd phase in the spring of 2012 following this "air counter. It is air counter S. And by corporate planning and development with the company which newly received the technological tie-up, it was still slim and realized a light weight and budget prices.

 

Boosting performance

The performance raised the "air counter" which starts shipment on October 20 by introducing new technology.  And the sensitivity which measures radiation went up. Measurement became possible for a maximum of about 5 minutes, and it carried out large shortening of the measuring time which was a maximum of about 10 minutes at the abbreviation half. Precedence sale was carried out in high Fukushima Prefecture of demand.

 

The package of an air counter

The art director and Mr. Kenjiro Sano of MR DESIGN representation built the package design of the "air counter." The package imagined a clean sky and presupposed extensively that it is light-blue. And it is a pretty simple design which has arranged houses small in the lower part. In addition, the booklet "I will memorize correctly! basic knowledge of radiation" which published the basic knowledge about the radiation etc. which Tokyo Metropolitan University Professor Masahiro Fukushi supervised at this "air counter" is a set.
