The continued study will help estimate how long it takes to decrease the level of radiocesium in seafloor sediments near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. (sciencedaily.com)
The massive evacuation and strict monitoring of food appear to have successfully limited the amount of radiocesium ingested by Fukushima residents. (sciencemag.org)
After analyzing the data, researchers found radiocesium from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in the sediment samples along with a high fraction of clay material, which is characteristic of shelf and slope sediments suggesting a near shore source. (sciencedaily.com)
