_Fukushima Accident_ presents up-to-date information on radioactivity
released to the atmosphere and the ocean after the accident on the
Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, on the distribution of
radionuclides in the world atmosphere and oceans, and their impact on
the total environment (man, fauna, and flora). The book will evaluate
and discuss the post-Fukushima situation, emphasizing radionuclide
impacts on the terrestrial and marine environments, and compare it
with the pre-Fukushima sources of radionuclides in the environment.
The authors’ results, as well as knowledge gathered from the
literature, will provide up-to-date information on the present status
of the topics. _Fukushima Accident_ is based on the environmental and
nuclear research; however, the presentation will be suitable for
university-level readers.
- Covers atmospheric and marine radioactivity, providing information
on the global atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides in the
atmosphere and world oceans
- Examines radiation doses to the public and biota to understand the
health risks to the public and ecosystems
- Provides information on monitoring radionuclides in the environment
– information on sources of radionuclides, their temporal and
spatial variations, and radionuclide levels
- Covers transport of radionuclides from different sources (e.g.
nuclear power plants) as well as atmospheric simulations and modeling
approaches
