However, contaminated forests still remain, and many residents and stakeholders are still suffering. In this chapter, we will discuss how we should face radioactive contamination of forests, based on the results of the surveys introduced in this book.Hashimoto, Shoji...
This photo shows tanks (in gray, beige and blue) of storing water that was treated but still radioactive after it was used to cool down spent fuel at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Okuma town, Fukushima prefecture, northeastern Japan, Saturday, Feb. 27, 2021. The reactors of...
But after infamous nuclear disasters like those at Chernobyl and Fukushima, questions about its safety remain.Sam In this programme, we’ll be finding out how green nuclear power is by asking: when it comes to the climate, is nuclear...
Oh, and there's that remote surgery idea. It'll be a long time before people trust robot surgeons commanded by distant humans, Rygaard said. But there are other places for remote-control operators who need real-time interaction -- a robot crawling around the radioactive Fukushima nuclear reac...
I have vivid memories of how the media reported on this event and how scary it was and how frightened everyone was of the radioactive clouds drifting from the Ukraine towards Europe. So, this is, sort of, ingrained in people’s minds, and for many it hasn’t been … really been ...

The second objection is the vulnerability of nuclear power plants to human errors and natural disasters. The Windscale Fire, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima are, to date, the most catastrophic events that have led to massive radioactive pollution [105]. Despite all nuclear plants boasti...
The microscopic particles unleashed by the plant’s explosions are also a potential environmental and health concern
