Nuclear Physics in the Aftermath of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
Nuclear Physics News, 2012The IAEA's 2011 projection indicates that the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident is likely to slow the growth in nuclear power capacity, but not to reverse it. It shows that in the updated estimate on the low side, the world's nuclear power capacity will grow from 375 GW(e) today to 501 GW(e) in 2030, down 8% from what was projected in 2010, while in ...

Nationwide Increase in Cryptorchidism After the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
Urology, 2018To estimate the change of discharge rate after cryptorchidism surgery between pre- and postdisaster in Japan. Cryptorchidism cannot be diagnosed before birth and is not a factor that would influence a woman's decision to seek an abortion. Therefore, this disease is considered suitable for assessing how the Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent

Preliminary analysis of loss-of-coolant accident in Fukushima nuclear accident
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2012Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) in Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) especially on Fukushima Nuclear Accident will be discussed in this paper. The Tohoku earthquake triggered the shutdown of nuclear power reactors at Fukushima Nuclear Power station. Though shutdown process has been completely performed, cooling process, at much smaller level than in normal ...
