Thirteen years after the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP), a breakthrough in analysis has permitted a world first: direct imaging of radioactive cesium (Cs) atoms in environmental samples.
Thirteen years after the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant , a breakthrough in analysis has permitted a world first: direct imaging of radioactive cesium atoms in environmental samples.
The groundbreaking analysis, completed by a team of researchers in Japan, Finland, America, and France, analyzing materials emitted from the damaged FDNPP reactors, reveals important insights into the lingering environmental and radioactive waste management challenges faced in Japan.
However, many uncertainties remain concerning the physical and chemical state of the fuel debris and this greatly complicates retrieval efforts.A significant amount of radioactive Cs was released from the damaged Fukushima Daiichi reactors in particulate form. The particles, termed Cs-rich microparticles , are poorly soluble, small from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant," is published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials.
