The measurement results also show that the play equipment placed in the park, including two sliding bridges, have the highest radiation index.

The distance from these devices gradually decreases the radioactivity to 0.07 micro sievert in further places.

However, in anticipation of the possibility of other sources of radioactivity, Toshima Prefecture has taken measures to close the park, prohibiting close to the play areas around the park.

According to the Nuclear Energy Monitoring Department, the level of radiation measured at the park is high, but in a narrow range, the usage time is not long, so if the player plays in this park, it will not affect the health. ./.
