Combining the Underwater Vision Profiler 6 with sediment traps to measure in situ velocity of marine particles

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Particles sinking from the surface to the deep ocean play a key role in the biological carbon pump, whose efficiency depends partly on sinking velocities. Over the last decade, in situ imaging has enabled critical advances in our understanding of particle dynamics in the ocean.

Analysis of ecological consequences and lessons of the Fukushima accident

open access: yesTrudy Odesskogo Politehničeskogo Universiteta, 2014
The events that occurred at the nuclear power plant (NPP) Fukushima-Daiichi forced all the world nuclear community and government bodies of ecological safety regulation to return again, after Chernobyl accident, to the need of revaluating the safety of ...

Scale‐aware impact modelling for atmospheric releases of radioactive material

open access: yesWeather, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 205-211, July 2026.
Since the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in 2011, the UK has developed the process of Joint Agency Modelling (JAM), which provides advice to government in case of atmospheric releases of radioactive material. The timely deployment of JAM requires a prior estimate of the extent to which impacts could reach. Thus, to develop a fast pre‐calculator

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.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

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

open access: yesIbis, 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.

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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

FRACTAL DIMENSIONS FOR RADIOISOTOPE POLLUTION PATTERNS BY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ACCIDENTS [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015
The radioisotope pollution shows two types of patterns: dry and wet deposits for nuclear power plant accidents. Two surface pollution patterns were analysed by fractal.

Psychological Interventions for Pregnant Women in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Incidents: A Systematic Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) incidents increasingly threaten public health, especially with the rise of unconventional weapons. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to psychological impacts. Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a key supportive intervention.

Coordination Under Uncertain Conditions: An Analysis of the Fukushima Catastrophe [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper analyzes the impacts of the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, which were amplified by a failure of coordination across the plant, corporate, industrial, and regulatory levels, resulting in a ...

Minimizing the Health Effects of the Nuclear Accident in Fukushima on Thyroids [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Thyroid Journal, 2016
Abstract Results of the Screening of Thyroids: Because of the March 2011 nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, the Fukushima Prefecture initiated a thyroid ultrasound examination program. The first cycle of examinations on all children (more than 300,000) of the Fukushima Prefecture identified 116 patients as having malignant or ...
