With a partial meltdown in the Unit 2 reactor, TMI remains the most serious nuclear disaster to occur in the United States. Although no direct health problems due to the accident's radiation were reported, the TMI disaster severely damaged the image of nuclear power as ...
The story is the same as with another nuclear meltdown - Fukushima in 2011. Thousands of wild boars, wolves, elks, deer, and lynx doubled their populations in the abandoned area. Quite noticeable are the footprints of animals on the ground even in the places with constant people flow. Came...
indicative of an isolation by distance (Mantel,r = 0.6581,p = 0.011). This isolation by distance remained significant even by controlling for dose rate differences (partial Mantel,r = 0.5915,p = 0.012). Thus,

When Sievert (Sv) was used as a unit of radiation dose in a paper, it was converted to Gray (Gy) (1 Sv = 1 Gy). 2. Multiple Pathways for Biological Effects First, one should recognize that there are multiple pathways for biological effects of a nuclear accident. Here, one should be...
