Fukushima daiichi nuclear accident and radiation exposure.
We consider that the Great East Japan Earthquake was a combined disaster involving earthquake and tsunami as well as the release of radioactive materials into the environment (Fig. 1). Something I would like you to notice here is that among various disasters, a radiation nuclear disaster cannot be seen; it cannot be felt; in fact it cannot be detected without special devices. Because of that, t...
متن کاملEffects of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident on goshawk reproduction
Although the influence of nuclear accidents on the reproduction of top predators has not been investigated, it is important that we identify the effects of such accidents because humans are also top predators. We conducted field observation for 22 years and analysed the reproductive performance of the goshawk (Accipiter gentilis fujiyamae), a top avian predator in the North Kanto area of Japan,...
متن کاملImpact on marine environment of radioactive releases resulting from the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident
Since several days, radioactive pollution was observed in the marine environment, at varying distances from the Fukushima-Daiichi power station. The main radionuclides regularly found in the sea water are (T = radioactive half-life): iodine 131 (T = 8 days), caesium 137 (T = 30 years), caesium 134 (T = 2.1 years), caesium 136 (T = 13.1 days), tellurium 132 / iodine 132 (T = 78 hours). Others ha...
متن کاملRelease of plutonium isotopes from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident has caused serious contamination in the environment. In this work, we summarize and analyze published studies related to the release of Pu from the FDNPP accident using environmental sample analysis and ORIGEN model simulation. Our analysis focuses on several aspects: first, the investigation of the distribution of Pu isotopes derived f...
متن کاملLessons from Fukushima: Latest Findings of Thyroid Cancer After the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident
The increase in risk for late-onset thyroid cancer due to radiation exposure is a potential health effect after a nuclear power plant accident mainly due to the release of radioiodine in fallout. The risk is particularly elevated in those exposed during infancy and adolescence. To estimate the possibility and extent of thyroid cancer occurrence after exposure, it is of utmost importance to coll...
