The Study of Radioactive Fallout Source of Low-Equivalent Nuclear Bursts Based on Nuclear Cloud Simulation Using the CFD-DPM

Atmosphere
The activity-height distribution of radioactive particles in the stabilization cloud of a nuclear burst plays a crucial role in the radioactive fallout prediction model, serving as the source for transport, diffusion, and dose rate calculation modules. A

Interception of the Fukushima reactor accident‐derived137Cs, 134Cs and 131I by coniferous forest canopies

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident resulted in extensive radioactive contamination of the surrounding forests. In this study, we analyzed fallout 137Cs, 134Cs, and 131I in rainwater, throughfall, and stemflow in coniferous forest ...

Contaminants in food chains of arctic ungulates: what have we learned from the Chernobyl accident?

Rangifer, 1998
The Chernobyl accidenr of 1986 caused radioactive contamination of widespread areas of reindeer pasture in Scandinavia. Reindeer {Rangifer tarandus) are especially exposed to radioactive fallout due to their wintet diet, of which lichens are an important
