Radiation levels near Japan's damaged Fukushima reactor hit two-year high
2013-10-10 06:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Radiation levels in seawater just outside one of the damaged Fukushima reactors spiked this week to the highest level in two years, the operator of the crippled Japanese nuclear plant said on Thursday. Radiation levels on Wednesday, the day six workers were exposed to highly radioactive water, jumped 13 times the previous day's reading, the highest levels since late 2011. A massive quake and tsunami hit the power station, operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co, also known as Tepco, in March 2011,...
Fukushima Radiation: Is it Safe to Eat the Fish?
2013-10-09 18:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Following Japans devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami, fear spread about risks of leaked radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant--for the health of those living in or near Fukushima or involved in cleanup efforts, and for the planet and the potential impacts on our complex marine food web. Shunichi Tanaka, head of Japans Nuclear Regulation Authority, told reporters radioactive water has likely been leaking into the Pacific Ocean since the disaster hit. Its the largest single...

Radiation in Pennsylvania Creek Seen as Legacy of Fracking
2013-10-02 14:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Naturally occurring radiation brought to the surface by gas drillers has been detected in a Pennsylvania creek that flows into the Allegheny River, illustrating the risks of wastewater disposal from the boom in hydraulic fracturing. Sediment in Blacklick Creek contained radium in concentrations 200 times above normal, or background levels, according to the study, published today in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. The radium, along with salts such as bromide, came from the Josephine...

Detectors For Ionizing Radiation
2013-09-30 15:24:55| autocentral Products
Atomic particles with sufficient kinetic energy and X-rays can be detected directly via their absorption on the crystal lattice or indirectly via scintillators with silicon radiation detectors. This can require very high absorption volumes and extremely low dark currents, in some cases with fully depleted wafers. First Sensor offers solutions for energy-dispersive spectroscopy.
