| Course description |
|
This lecture will be open from 14:45 to 19:45 on 26 November 2018 at the 1-11 classroom of Building No. 1 in Fuchu Campus of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. The instructor is Dr. Masanori Tamaoki of National Institute for Environmental Studies at Fukushima. The lecture will describe impact of radiation on wild organisms and ecosystems in clearly understandable terms. Especially, the lecture will review environmental fate of radioactive cesium in forest and river in Fukushima, and also give an outline of direct and/or indirect effects from radiation on wild organisms and ecosystems. |
| Expected Learning |
|
To understand various aspects of effects from nuclear power plant accident on wild organisms. |
| Course schedule |
|
Contents of the lecture 1. Radioactive material and radiation. It's reference values and evidence-base 2. Environmental fate of radioactive material 3. Effects of radiation on wild organisms 4. Indirect effects of radiation (e.g. evacuation) on wild organisms and ecosystems |
| Prerequisites |
| Radiobiology |
| Required Text(s) and Materials |
| The lecture will carried out using Power Point slides. The file of the side will not distribute on the day, but PDF of the slides will be available at designated HP after the lecture. |

| Assessment/Grading |
| Evaluation of the lecture will be conducted using reports (100 %) |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| Radioactive materials (cesium) derived from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant affect on wild organisms and ecosystems directly with radiation or indirectly with evacuation of resident. Please consider how to deal the similar accidents will be occurred in the future through the understanding of biological effects from radiation with accuracy. |
