 note = {An investigation in Akita, Japan, was carried out to determine the results of radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl Atomic Reactor RBMK accident in the U. S. S. R. Strongly radioactive particles, rain water, dry fallout, airborne dust, and foodstuffs were examined by using a LBC counter and a multichannel analyzer with a Ge (Li) semiconductor detector. However, no highly radioactive substances could be found in the Akita University Inspection Area. The radioactivity of enviromental samples showed a distinct rise from May 4 to 6, 1986. Ten gamma-ray radioisotopes, ^<99>Mo, ^<103>Ru, ^<137>Ru, ^<131>I, ^<132>I, ^<132>Te, ^<134>Cs, ^<136>Cs, ^<137>Cs, and ^<140>La, were detected. In some samples, the maximum values were found from May 4 to 6 for ^<99>Mo, ^<103>Ru, ^<132>Te, and ^<140>La, and on May 8 to 9 for ^<134>Cs, ^<136>Cs, and ^<137>Cs, but around June 9, normal concentrations were resumed.},
