The Fukushima accident was preventable [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2015
The 11 March 2011 tsunami was probably the fourth largest in the past 100 years and killed over 15 000 people. The magnitude of the design tsunami triggering earthquake affecting this region of Japan had been grossly underestimated, and the tsunami hit the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (NPP), causing the third most severe accident in an NPP ...

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident [PDF]

Science Progress, 2014
1. Introduction I remember vividly the event in 1986 when the Unit 4 reactor at Chernobyl (1) exploded, since I was working in Russia during the weeks following it. Largely, this was a preventable occurrence, and was caused by a combination of circumstances, but principally through an unscheduled and ill-conceived "experiment" involving the full ...

SEVERE ACCIDENT ISSUES RAISED BY THE FUKUSHIMA ACCIDENT AND IMPROVEMENTS SUGGESTED

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2014
This paper revisits the Fukushima accident to draw lessons in the aspect of nuclear safety considering the fact that the Fukushima accident resulted in core damage for three nuclear power plants simultaneously and that there is a high possibility of a ...

A scoping review on the mental health of disaster responders for natural disasters in Japan. [PDF]

PCN Rep
This scoping review synthesized 55 studies (1997–2025) on the mental health of disaster responders in Japan following natural disasters. Mental health outcomes varied by occupation, with higher prevalence among healthcare workers, local government employees, and nuclear power plant workers, and lower prevalence among firefighters and JGSDF personnel ...

Radioactivity of honeys from Poland after the Fukushima accident. [PDF]

Bull Environ Contam Toxicol, 2013
Concentration of radioactive isotopes in honey constitutes an important bioindicator of environmental radiation. One hundred six honey samples were collected from hives and from bottled honey provided by beekeepers from north-eastern Poland in 2010, before the Fukushima accident, and during the two-year period directly following this catastrophe (2011 ...

Scale-Dependent Attraction of Invasive Raccoons to Bait Sites: Behavioural and Proximity Responses in a Post-Disaster Agricultural Landscape. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using cafeteria‐style bait trials and GPS telemetry, we investigated scale‐dependent responses of invasive raccoons to baiting in a post‐nuclear‐disaster agricultural landscape in Fukushima, Japan. Baiting induced strong short‐term and daily‐scale attraction to trap sites but did not restructure long‐term space use, highlighting the need to balance ...

The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Environmental Risk: A Survey of Fukushima Residents

Asian Journal for Public Opinion Research, 2017
The Fukushima nuclear accident caused by an earthquake and a subsequent tsunami on March 11, 2011 has seriously impacted the environment surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. While all the residents near the plant were evacuated from the

Radionuclide analysis on bamboos following the Fukushima nuclear accident. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In response to contamination from the recent Fukushima nuclear accident, we conducted radionuclide analysis on bamboos sampled from six sites within a 25 to 980 km radius of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
