Evaluation of ambient dose equivalent rates influenced by vertical and horizontal distribution of radioactive cesium in soil in Fukushima Prefecture.
The air dose rate in an environment contaminated with (134)Cs and (137)Cs depends on the amount, depth profile and horizontal distribution of these contaminants within the ground. This paper introduces and verifies a tool that models these variables and calculates ambient dose equivalent rates at 1 m above the ground. Good correlation is found between predicted dose rates and dose rates measure...
متن کاملMeasurement of Fukushima-related radioactive contamination in aquatic species.
The Great East Japan (Tohoku) Earthquake and consequent tsunami of March 11, 2011, caused immense damage and loss of life in Japan. It is estimated that over 15,000 people died and in excess of 2,500 persons are still unaccounted for (1, 2). The tsunami that struck the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) led to breakdown of the reactor cooling systems, resulting in overheating of fuel ...
متن کاملWhole-Body Counter(WBC) and food radiocesium contamination surveys in Namie, Fukushima Prefecture
PURPOSE This study examined the internal Cs exposure of residents and the Cs present in food products produced in Namie. Whole-body counter (WBC) was used for the measurement of internal exposure per each whole body of examinees. METHODS The food products which appeared to be used for consumption, were brought by residents and commercially available food items were excluded. Most of them were...
متن کامل[Radioactive caesium contamination in Inago and sustainability of Inago cuisine in Fukushima].
Inago (edible grasshoppers, Oxya spp.) was a popular food in the Fukushima area, before the reactor accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station in March 2011. We investigated the radioactivity of Cs-134 and Cs-137 contained in Inago captured in Sukagawa, Motomiya, Inawashiro, Date, and Iidate in Fukushima prefecture in 2011 and 2012. The maximum combined radioactivity of Cs-134 and Cs-...
متن کاملRadiation Distribution Measurements in Fukushima Prefecture
On March 11, 2011, a huge tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake destroyed all the electrical power facilities in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. As a result, the reactors were badly damaged, and radioactive particles were widely scattered in the surrounding areas. In order to study the behavior of the radioactive particles emitted from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power ...
