Minimizing the Health Effects of the Nuclear Accident in Fukushima on Thyroids [PDF]
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 suspected malignant thyroid nodules, and in the second cycle 59 new ...

Simultaneous measurements of HERFD‐XANES, RXES and RIXS of caesium using a transition‐edge sensor
A transition‐edge sensor (TES) enables simultaneous measurements of HERFD‐XANES, RXES and RIXS with a high‐energy resolution. This study employed a TES to investigate caesium compounds at the Cs LII‐edge (5359 eV).A transition‐edge sensor (TES) enables high‐resolution measurements of X‐ray fluorescence across a wide energy range, allowing for the ...

A Lesson from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
At 3:36 pm on March 12, 2011, the day after the mega earthquake and tsunami hit northeast Honshu, Japan's main island, the No.1 reactor building of the Fukushima No.1 Power Plant exploded. Soon after, an order for 77,000 residents from 28,000 households within 20 km of the power plant was issued, instructing people to evacuate to areas outside a 20km ...

Design Rules for Carboborothermic Reduction Synthesis of High Uranium Density UB4–UBC Composites
ABSTRACT Uranium borides are promising candidate fuel forms for use in advanced nuclear reactors due to their high thermal conductivity and potential for dual use as both fuel and burnable absorber. In this work, uranium tetraboride (UB4${\rm UB}_4$) and uranium monoboroncarbide (UBC) composite were synthesized by using industrially scalable ...
