Fukushima and Chernobyl: Similarities and Differences of Radiocesium Behavior in the Soil–Water Environment [PDF]
Toxics, 2022 In the wake of Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents, radiocesium has become a radionuclide of most environmental concern. The ease with which this radionuclide moves through the environment and is taken up by plants and animals is governed by its chemical ...

The Kuroshio radiocesium stream
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022 The Fukushima accident released short-lived Cs-134 and longer-lived Cs-137 to the ocean. The amount, although substantial, is much less than that produced during the atomic bomb tests 60 years ago. But, the latter has received little attention. Here we found only Cs-137 in waters near the origin of the Kuroshio.

Radiocesium distribution in bamboo shoots after the Fukushima nuclear accident. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The distribution of radiocesium was examined in bamboo shoots, Phyllostachys pubescens, collected from 10 sites located some 41 to 1140 km from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Japan, in the Spring of 2012, 1 year after the Fukushima nuclear ...
