Pyongyang, August 22 (KCNA) -- Kim Chaek University of Technology of the DPRK developed a new instrument capable of measuring solar radiation intensity with high accuracy.

The instrument is capable of gauging the radiation intensity by self-comparing and -analyzing the values of electric current and voltage measured on the spot in comparison with the input values in the standard conditions.

The cost-efficient instrument was awarded the new product development prize at the 37th National Festival of Science and Technology for its versatile utility in meteorological observation and agriculture sectors. -0-
