Not exact matches

«It was nowhere near as complex of a release as Chernobyl, which was everything from the core of the reactor,» says Peter Caracappa, a radiation safety officer and clinical assistant professor of nuclear engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. «This was a slow release,» he adds, and it was limited to a few radioactive materials, including iodine 131, which has a half - life of just eight days and therefore does not lead to long - term contamination.

After taking steps to rule out possible contamination from more mundane mechanisms, such as fluorescence, the group concluded that the photons appeared to be spontaneously produced from the same physics underlying Hawking radiation.

Channelkeeper also collected kelp near Rincon as part of «Kelp Watch» an initiative coordinated by researchers at Cal State Long Beach and UC Berkeley to assess the extent of possible radiation contamination (primarily Cesium - 137 & -134) in kelp forests along the West Coast from seawater arriving from Fukushima.

The Act arises from a letter from a group of health physicists who pointed out that the limited understanding of low - dose health risks impairs the nation's decision - making capabilities, whether in responding to radiological events involving large populations such as the 2011 Fukushima accident or in areas such as the rapid increase in radiation - based medical procedures, the cleanup of radioactive contamination from legacy sites and the expansion of civilian nuclear energy.

The reality is stark: fracking is believed to cause earthquakes, groundwater contamination, adds to greenhouse gas pollution through releases of methane, releases uranium and radon radiation, and leads to serious air pollution from the emissions spewing from drilling and transportation equipment.

Due to factors such as wind direction, the nuclear blast released radiation «in a very patchy manner, so while the highest areas of contamination are closest to the plant, there are also areas of higher radiation quite a ways away from the reactor,» Mousseau said.

Tokyo residents worry about radiation following reports of further contamination escaping from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power station.
