  A carborne survey system named as KURAMA (Kyoto University RAdiation MApping system) has been developed as a response to the nuclear accident at TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011. Now the system evolved into a CompactRIO-based KURAMA-II, and serves for the various types of applications. More than a hundred of KURAMA-II are deployed for the periodical drawing of the radiation map in the East Japan by Japanese government. A continuous radiation monitoring by KURAMA-II on local buses is started in Fukushima prefecture as the collaboration project among Kyoto University, Fukushima prefectural government, and JAEA. Extended applications such as precise radiation mappings in farmlands and parks are also on the way. The present status and future prospects of KURAMA and KURAMA-II are introduced.
