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

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]
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.

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]
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]
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 ...
