Radiological Issues For Fukushima’s Revitalized Future

ISBN: 9784431558477 出版年：2015 页码：232 Takahashi, Tomoyuki Springer

This book overviews environmental issues 4 years after the fukushima nuclear accident, covering a wide range of areas related to radiation and radioactivity. The topics discussed are necessary to make clear the relationship between the results of research and fukushima’s revitalized future. The chapters are divided into four parts: part 1 presents the identification of radionuclides in soil and migration of radionuclides in the terrestrial environment; part 2 describes the safety decontamination system and treatment of radioactive waste; part 3 explains the development of the system of measurement of environmental radiation and evaluation of external exposure; and part 4 discusses the identification of radionuclides in farm products, control of root uptake, identification of decreasing radionuclides by food processing, and evaluation of internal exposure. Since the accident at the tokyo electric power company's fukushima daiichi nuclear power station in 2011, gradual steps have been taken toward environmental recovery in the area. However, there are still many issues that need to be tackled in order to achieve the full revitalization of fukushima.
