Most of the area contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident is covered by forest. In this paper, we updated model predictions of temporal changes in theCs dynamics using the latest observation data and newly provided maps of the predictedCs activity concentration for wood, ...
On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant, triggering a total station blackout and a disastrous nuclear accident. Radioactive cores of three reactors (Units 1, 2, and 3) melted, the hot fuel fell through the primary pressure vessels and breached...

the samples from Takase and Ogaki (both of which are close to the Joban expressway), because part of the expressway construction, between Joban-Tomioka IC (just south of FDNPP) and Yamamoto IC (north of Soma city), was not completed at the time of the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011....
Specifically, it uses the framing theory on the coverage of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in selected US newspapers, namely, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and USA Today. Further, the study identifies the use of four generic frames: (a) conflict, (b) economic ...
the impact of natural factors such as earthquakes and tsunamis, a large amount of radioactive material leaked out because of chemical explosion in the Fukushima nuclear power plant.The nuclear leakage has reached the level of Chernobyl accident, and the level of Fukushima nuclear accident is seven...
In a draft strategic energy plan due to be approved by the cabinet this month, the trade and industry ministry signalled it was ditching attempts to lessen Japans reliance on nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster C the worlds worst nuclear accident since Chornobyl 25 years ...
In March 2011 the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan was hit by an earthquake and a tsunami that resulted in the release of significant amounts of radioactive material. Although the radiation release didn't result in any direct loss of human life, the accident was sufficient to suspend nu...
Over the following days and weeks, Japan experienced its worst nuclear crisis, which would ultimately be considered the second worst nuclear accident in the world after Chernobyl. The case discusses the deeper underlying causes that allowed such a catastrophe to happen despite Japan being a ...
