Nature of Relationships Between Atmospheric Electricity Parameters at Ground Surface and Air Ionization on the Basis of Nuclear Accidents in Power Plants and Weapons Tests by Marek Kubicki, Bogna Mysłek-Laurikainen, Anna Odzimek

“…In this work we present an analysis of selected atmospheric electricity parameters, measured at the Geophysical Observatory in Świder (near Warsaw, Poland), in a review of the major events that resulted in the release of a significant amount of artificial radioactive substances in the Earth’s atmosphere: the radioactive accident in Fukushima, Japan, beginning 12 March 2011, followed by the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami; Chernobyl disaster (27 April 1986); and nuclear weapons testing (1958–1965). …”

Spatial variability of 137Cs in the soil of Belgrade region (Serbia) by Janković-Mandić Ljiljana J., Dragović Ranko M., Đorđević Milan M., Đolić Maja B., Onjia Antonije E., Dragović Snežana D., Bačić Goran G.

“…Among radionuclides in the soil deposited after Chernobyl accident, 137Cs poses considerable environmental and radiological problems because of its relatively long half-life (30.17 y), its abundance in the fallout, high mobility and similarity to potassium as the major plant nutrient. …”

Does the Fukushima NPP disaster affect the caesium activity of North Atlantic Ocean fish? by G. Kanisch, M.-O. Aust

“…Existing box models describing the transport of Cs within seawater boxes of the northeast Atlantic allowed for estimation of ¹³⁴Cs contributions from other sources, i.e. from the Chernobyl fallout and from discharges by the two major European nuclear reprocessing plants; both were negligible around Greenland, while for the Chernobyl fallout a small ¹³⁴Cs background contribution to BS fish was estimated. …”

The thyroid status of children and adolescents in Fukushima Prefecture examined during 20-30 months after the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster: a cross-sectional, observation... by Hajime Watanobe, Tomoyuki Furutani, Masahiko Nihei, Yu Sakuma, Rie Yanai, Miyuki Takahashi, Hideo Sato, Fumihiko Sagawa

“…BACKGROUND: A possible increase in thyroid cancer in the young represents the most critical health problem to be considered after the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan (March 2011), which is an important lesson from the Chernobyl disaster (April 1986). Although it was reported that childhood thyroid cancer had started to increase 3-5 yr after the Chernobyl accident, we speculate that the actual period of latency might have been shorter than reported, considering the delay in initiating thyroid surveillance in the then Soviet Union and also the lower quality of ultrasonographic testing in the 1980s. …”
