It is not particularly easy to get information from the site because of all the reasons that have been cited about the potential radiation emissions and the damage done.
As we watch the events in Japan, it is understandable that people are worried about the potential of nuclear radiation fallout in our community.
FORBES: Radiation No Threat To Silicon Valley, Santa Clara County Says
The effects of radiation only start to become clear at high acute absorbed doses of over 1 Sv (100 rem), and even then it is necessary to eliminate other potential causes before radiation can be unequivocally said to be the cause, advised UNSCEAR.
FORBES: Like We've Been Saying -- Radiation Is Not A Big Deal
In like manner, I believe that reactors should be designed such that an earthquake of any magnitude could not destroy the reactor or its containment shell, further that if the reactor core was to start to melt down, the melt down itself would shut the reactor down and, at the very worst, the reactor would entomb itself with no potential release of radiation into the environment.
FORBES: A Year After Fukushima Meltdown, Is Nuke Power Any Safer?
Other potential applications include studying radiation transport, which will benefit astronomers and medical imaging technologies.
FORBES: Cray Claims The Fastest Supercomputing Crown With The NVIDIA-Powered Titan
Ionizing radiation-induced bystander effects, potential targets for modulation of radiotherapy, Rzeszowska-Wolny J, Przybyszewski WM, Widel M.
FORBES: 1st Person | Facing an Unsettled Future After Radiation Exposure
The study was praised as offering "an important insight into potential effects of cell phone radiation on the human brain" by Renee Sharp, director of the Environmental Working Group California office.
In the meantime, the authors suggest that satellite engineers incorporate the potential for intensification of the inner radiation belt in their radiation mitigation strategies.
FORBES: A Powerful Solar Storm Could Render Satellites Inoperable For Years
The forum's members were unable to examine all the potential effects of Chernobyl's radiation, says Fred Mettler, a professor of nuclear medicine at the University of New Mexico who led the team investigating health effects for the Chernobyl Forum.
ECONOMIST: Nuclear power: Little to fear but fear itself | The
There is so much confusion surrounding the question of possible danger from cell phones, that the FCC announcement raises questions about what sort of review will be conducted, how much credibility it will have, and whether it will come to grips with the varied and difficult scientific evidence bearing on the potential health effects of cell phone radiation.
It goes without saying that the loss of human life due to the tsunami and earthquake and the potential for horrendous genetic defects and cancers associated with radiation are extremely frightening.
FORBES: Japanese Disaster: What Are The Impacts On The Auto Industry?
If the radiation gathered in one place it would be a sign of a potential tumour.
Aside from the potential health hazards of living in an area contaminated with radiation, domino socioeconomic effects have caused multiple problems in these regions.
The company will further investigate the possible spread of contamination and its potential impact in the ocean, including the existence of beta radiation that could contain harmful strontium, company spokesman Yoshikazu Nagai said.
