Abstract: Provided is a surface contamination monitor that includes a hand and foot contamination monitor that can be relocated to an inspection site in a simple manner. A surface contamination monitor has a folding mechanism that allows folding a monitor main body, and comprises a base whose top face is provided with radiation detection elements for measurement of a foot portion, a support column provided at a center of a far side of the top face of the base, and an upper unit, which is fixed to a top end portion of the support column, and on which there are provided radiation detection elements for measurement of a hand portion. The folding mechanism allows the support column to bend towards the top face of the base by way of a first hinge and to bend towards an opposite side by way of a second hinge.

Abstract: A radiation monitor and a hand-foot-cloth monitor include a hand monitoring unit capable of accurately measuring surface contamination regardless of the size of the hand of the examinee. A hand monitoring unit (7A) includes a fixed detecting unit (73a) and a movable detecting unit (72a) arranged to face the fixed detecting unit (73a) and movable reciprocatingly in a direction facing the fixed detecting unit (73a), an urging unit (79a) urging the movable detecting unit (72a) in a direction separating from the fixed detecting unit (73a), a pressing member (74a) arranged between the fixed detecting unit (73a) and the movable detecting unit (72a) and pressable by the hand of the examinee, and an interlock mechanism (77a) moving the movable detecting unit (72a) against the urging force of the urging unit (79a) in a direction approaching the fixed detecting unit (73a) according to the amount of pressing of the pressing member (74a).

Abstract: Provided is a surface contamination monitor that comprises a hand and foot contamination monitor that can be relocated to an inspection site in a simple manner. A surface contamination monitor has a folding mechanism that allows folding a monitor main body, and comprises a base (1) whose top face is provided with radiation detection elements (10) for measurement of a foot portion, a support column (2) provided at a center of a far side of the top face of the base (1), and an upper unit (3), which is fixed to a top end portion of the support column (2), and on which there are provided radiation detection elements (10) for measurement of a hand portion.
