Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Genetic Diversity in the Pale Grass Blue Butterfly After the Fukushima Nuclear Accident

Diversity
The Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011 caused adverse phenotypic changes in wild organisms in radioactively polluted areas. However, few studies have investigated genetic changes after the accident. Here, we analyzed the nuclear DNA sequences of internal

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1148-1158, July 2026.
This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.

Thyroid doses for evacuees from the Fukushima nuclear accident [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2012
A primary health concern among residents and evacuees in affected areas immediately after a nuclear accident is the internal exposure of the thyroid to radioiodine, particularly I-131, and subsequent thyroid cancer risk. In Japan, the natural disasters of the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 destroyed an important function of the Fukushima Daiichi ...

Scale‐Dependent Attraction of Invasive Raccoons to Bait Sites: Behavioural and Proximity Responses in a Post‐Disaster Agricultural Landscape

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 thyroid status of children and adolescents in Fukushima Prefecture examined during 20-30 months after the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster: a cross-sectional, observational study.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundA possible increase in thyroid cancer in the young represents the most critical health problem to be considered after the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan (March 2011), which is an important lesson from the Chernobyl disaster (April 1986 ...

A scoping review on the mental health of disaster responders for natural disasters in Japan

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences Reports, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
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 ...

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 434-455, June 2026.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.
