These rates are relatively rapid, which is consistent with observations that radiocaesium levels in sea urchins after the Fukushima nuclear disaster declined to undetectable levels within 3–4 years after the accident, whereas they remained elevated for much longer time in some other marine organisms ...
This event is principally remembered worldwide for the serious damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which caused a core meltdown and hydrogen explosions. The Fukushima event and its consequences evidence two main needs in terms of understanding of a multi-hazard approach: (i) a...
