| Title | Environmental contamination from the Fukushima nuclear disaster : dispersion, monitoring, mitigation and lessons learned / edited by Teruyuki Nakajima, Toshimasa Ohara, Mitsuo Uematsu, Yuichi Onda. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xxii, 356 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Cambridge environmental chemistry series |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 23 Aug 2019). |
| Summary | The 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station led to serious radioactive contamination of the environment. Due to transportation by seasonal wind and ocean currents, these radioactive materials have now been observed in many places in the Northern Hemisphere. This book provides a unique summary of the environmental impact of the unprecedented accident. It covers how radioactive materials were transported through the atmosphere, oceans and land. The techniques used to investigate the deposition and migration processes are also discussed including atmospheric observation, soil mapping, forest and ecosystem investigations, and numerical simulations. With chapters written by international experts, this is a crucial resource for researchers working on the dispersion and impact of radionuclides in the environment. It also provides essential knowledge for nuclear engineers, social scientists and policymakers to help develop suitable mitigation measures to prepare for similar large-scale natural hazards in the future. |
