Abstract The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, Japan,
released the largest quantity of radionuclides into the terrestrial environment since the 1986 …

The environmental impacts of the nuclear accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima are
compared. In almost every respect, the consequences of the Chernobyl accident clearly …

Potassium is an essential macronutrient that has been partly overshadowed in root science
by nitrogen and phosphorus. The current boom in potassium-related studies coincides with …

The impact of the earthquake and tsunami on the east coast of Japan on 11 March 2011
caused a loss of power at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (NPP) that resulted in …

Cesium is a radioactive fission product generated in nuclear power plants and is disposed of
as liquid waste. The recent catastrophe at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan has …

Simultaneous measurements of airborne radionuclides 7 Be and 210 Pb, together with
aerosol mass load PM 10, have been routinely carried out at the Global WMO-GAW station …

The paper summarizes studies of the distributions of 90Sr and 137Cs in the water and
sediments of the Black Sea carried out during a 10-year period following the 1986 accident …

The recent radionuclide measurements have showed that concentrations of the Chernobyl-
derived 137 Cs and 90 Sr in the surface Black Sea waters are still relatively high, reaching …

Atmospheric nuclear weapons explosions and large-scale nuclear accidents may
contaminate large areas of land with the long-lived radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr. The …

A number of hypotheses have previously been developed concerning the rates of uptake
and elimination of radiocaesium (137Cs) in fish. These include the influence of potassium …
