Cryoconite: an efficient accumulator of radioactive fallout in glacial environments [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Cryoconite is rich in natural and artificial radioactivity, but a discussion about its ability to accumulate radionuclides is lacking. A characterization of cryoconite from two Alpine glaciers is presented here.

Settlement process of radioactive dust to the ground inferred from the atmospheric electric field measurement [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 Radioactive materials from the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (FNPP) in March 2011 spread over a large area, increasing the atmospheric electric conductivity by their ionizing effect, and reducing the vertical (downward) component ...

Dosimetry of external population exposure: a comparison of the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents
Радиационная гигиена, 2020 The paper is devoted to comparing the models and the doses of the population external exposure from radioactive fallout after the accident at the Chernobyl and Fukushima-1 NPPs estimated with their help. In the case of the Fukushima-1 accident, the model
