Report on Radioactivity

Experiment No. 8. Artificial Radioactivity (a sample laboratory report)

Report on maternal anxiety 16 months after the great East Japan earthquake disaster: anxiety over radioactivity.

The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. The tsunami caused extensive damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, resulting in a level 7 nuclear accident. Among those affected by this combined disaster were many pregnant and parturient women. Sixteen months after the earthquake, we conducted a questionnaire survey on anxiety among 259 women who gave birth around the ...

A report on radioactivity measurements of fish samples from the West Coast of Canada

Even though many studies have shown that radioactive caesium levels in fish caught outside of Japan were below experimental detection limits of a few Bq kg(-1), significant public concern has been expressed about the safety of consuming seafood from the Pacific Ocean following the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident. To address the public concerns, samples of commonly consumed salmon and groundf...

FORMATION OF NUCLEAR MOLECULES IN CLUSTER RADIOACTIVITY On Interpretation of the Cluster Radioactivity Mechanism

Experiments on Radioactivity in a Virtual Laboratory

This paper shows how to run some experiments of physics, using a virtual laboratory. Such a laboratory is a website, equipped with objects to be measured and measuring instruments, simulated by means of Java Applets. Here we discuss in particular the case of a laboratory in which we can perform, on the Web, some experiments on radioactivity. The proposed virtual environment can be a viable alte...
