- Presents a wide range of research results carried out by a variety of organizations and individuals
- Collects invaluable data especially those obtained just days or weeks after the accident
- Provides highly reliable data as discussed at an international symposium and peer-reviewed by specialists
This book provides comprehensive research
findings related to the environmental monitoring of radiation, levels
of radioactive nuclides in various environments, and dose estimation in
residents after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident caused severe
environmental contamination with radioactive nuclides. At the beginning
of the book, a technical review written by a leading researcher of
nuclear reactor technology explains what happened at the power plant.
The review is followed by a commentary from a former member of the
International Commission on Radiological Protection, providing the
reader with easily understandable information about the concept of
radiation dosage. In the main part of the book, a series of scientific
reports presents valuable data on the radiation surveys of the
environment, environmental radioactivity, transfer models and parameters
of radioactive nuclides, and dose assessment among residents. These
reports present a wide range of findings from the research carried out
in a variety of activities by large governmental organizations as well
as by small private groups and individuals. The reader thus will find a
large collection of valuable and interesting data related to the
environmental contamination by radioactive nuclides after the Fukushima
accident. Although earlier reports on this issue have been made public,
this book is the only publication to fully depict the actual situation
by providing comprehensive data obtained by diverse organizations and
individuals.
