Environmental Contamination from the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster:Dispersion, Monitoring, Mitigation and Lessons Learn H 423 p. 19
内容
The 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station led to serious radioactive contamination of the environment. Due to transportation by seasonal wind and ocean currents, these radioactive materials have now been observed in many places in the Northern Hemisphere. This book provides a unique summary of the environmental impact of the unprecedented accident. It covers how radioactive materials were transported through the atmosphere, oceans and land. The techniques used to investigate the deposition and migration processes are also discussed including atmospheric observation, soil mapping, forest and ecosystem investigations, and numerical simulations. With chapters written by international experts, this is a crucial resource for researchers working on the dispersion and impact of radionuclides in the environment. It also provides essential knowledge for nuclear engineers, social scientists and policymakers to help develop suitable mitigation measures to prepare for similar large-scale natural hazards in the future.
・Provides unique insight into the experiences of scientists dealing with Fukushima Nuclear Disaster, including useful information for social scientists and science communicators interested in disaster management
・With chapters by international authors, the book discusses how international research can aid local scientists and society in the event of such disasters
・Updated from the original 2014 Japanese edition, this volume has thirty percent revised material and includes new analysis of suspended particulate matter samples for determining radioactive iodine and caesium concentrations in the atmosphere
