Vice: In July, when the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced it would move forward with its plan to construct an "ice wall" around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's failed reactors, it seemed like a step backwards. In June, the utility company in charge of decommissioning the plant--which was ravaged by a tsunami in March 2011--indicated that its initial attempt at installing a similar structure had flopped. Its pipes were apparently unable to freeze the ground, despite being filled...

Fukushima nuclear disaster inflicted serious biological effects on wildlife
2014-08-16 12:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: An investigation into the impacts of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster has found that radiation may be harming wildlife in the area. In a series of new studies, published this week in the Journal of Heredity, scientists found evidence of population declines and genetic damage in species around Fukushima, Japan. "A growing body of empirical results from studies of birds, monkeys, butterflies, and other insects suggests that some species have been significantly impacted by the radioactive...

Japan: The Fukushima Effect: Insidious Radiation Impact
2014-08-15 20:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Compared to the Chernobyl meltdown, the levels of radiation released by the Fukushima-Daiichi power plant disaster in 2011 were a drop in the bucket. Even so, a new series of studies has shown that certain types of birds, plants and insects in Japan are all suffering from the impacts of fallout. Researchers say studying these organisms will help them better understand the complex dangers of radiation. These studies were all recently published in the Journal of Heredity and detail observations...
