The “Home” to Ensure our Future Protect the lives of families and children from the danger of radiation.
At Mitsuishi Taikarenga Co., Ltd., we install “RASHIX” to shield homes from radiation to aim for “the house that protects families’ and children’s lives” to ensure protection for the residents.
We don’t know when, where or how a disaster will occur. Japan is full of natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunami and volcano eruptions. The Great East Japan earthquake was an unprecedented disaster. Taking that into account, standard earthquake resistance does not simply guarantee safety. If we prepare for the future, there will be no regrets. Though, no one can predict what can happen in the future.
We create that “safety net” that protects your family and children from the unforeseeable calamity.
To All Homebuilders
The Value of Protecting Your Family
Would you like to build homes by adding a new value, the radiation shielding function, to individual homes?
We would like to propose a sense of security as a possible new concept of living rather than arousing or putting fear into each homeowner.
How to protect yourself from the radiation?
● Indoors and Outdoors
The exposure of gamma-ray becomes minimalized in the house compared to outdoors.
● Wood-frame vs. concrete homes
Compared to outdoors, wood-framed homes have less exposure to gamma-rays, but they’re not as effective as concrete homes.
Thick concrete shields gamma rays from passing through, so the interior radiation level will be lower.
However, it is impossible to stop all gamma rays from entering concrete apartments.
● Lead-Based Homes
Lead used to shield radiation is actually harmful to the human body. There are global regulatory movements to treat it as harmful to the environment also.
● Steel-Framed Homes
The exposure of gamma-ray becomes minimalized in the house compared to outdoors.
● Basement Shelters
It is very difficult to build a basement shelter in a narrow area where trucks or backhoe tractors can’t get through. For this reason, many homeowners have no choice but to give up on that idea.
Let's add radiation shielding space to your home.
"RASHIX" is lead-free and has the characteristic of being easy to process.
It is possible to add "a space to protect your life" at home.
It is fire and water resistant and does not deteriorate over time, so it can be expected to sustain its effect.
Create a Space for Protection
● Create a low-radiation room
Why not renovate one of the rooms at your own home as a "nuclear shelter" = a "room that shields from radiation"?
● Build a radiation shielded garage.
When you store the electric car, you can also generate electricity. It can also be a nuclear shelter garage.
