| Course description |
| The accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant occurred after the Great East Japan Earthquake and succedent tunamiin March 11th, 2011. Radioctive substances that were released by the accident were transferred and deposited according to meteorological process. Since the deposition those radioactive substances have been migrating in the environment according to the properties of elements of the radionuclides. This lecture aims at giving knowledge of how radocesium (Cs-134 and Cs-137)that has relatively long halflife among the radinuclides released by the accident behave in the environment according to the hydrological and ecological processes. Based on this students will also learn about the means of radiation protectio including evacuation, decontamination, food monitoring etc. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students who attended this class shall (1) understand the behaviors of radiocesium in the environment including river-lake, agricultural field and forest systems and will be able to forcast them qualitatively. (2) understand behaviors of radionuclides in the environment other than radiocesium. (3) understand the radiation and radiation protection from natural and artificial origin. |

| Test during the class |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| It was shown that nuclear power accident gave a strong influence on agriculture, fishery and forestry, unfortunately. We must learn lessons from the experiences after the accident involving monitoring scheme, decontamination etc. We also have opportunities to investigate the environmental radioactivity from various viewpoints. |
