The Fukushima disaster has left its mark. Nine years after the greatest nuclear disaster in the history of Japan , nature has taken back its rights. In March 2011, an earthquake of magnitude 9 on the Richter scale caused a tsunami that hit the city of Fukushima, in the northeast of the archipelago, causing the explosion of 3 reactors of the nuclear power plant built by the ocean. Since then, the area has been completely evacuated of its 80,000 inhabitants, and abandoned for nearly a decade.

This new virgin territory has since been the subject of numerous studies, in particular by researchers at the University of Georgia, who have made rather surprising discoveries. Indeed, on January 6, 2020, the scientific journal Journal of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment published a study in which they found that of many species of wild animals have abundantly repopulated this uninhabited area , like monkeys, hares, foxes, and even black bears.

Feds launch nuclear-waste strategy review amid elusive solutions for toxic waste

TORONTO — The federal government has launched a new initiative aimed at finding long-term solutions for the growing quantity of radioactive waste produced by Canada's nuclear reactors. To that end, the government wants members of the industry, the general public and Indigenous people to weigh in on the topic and potential solutions that have so far proven elusive. In a letter last week, Natural Resources Minister Seamus O'Regan calls on theTo that end, the government wants members of the industry, the general public and Indigenous people to weigh in on the topic and potential solutions that have so far proven elusive.

Hundreds of the animals , which have been known to attack people when enraged, descended from surrounding hills and forests into towns left deserted "It is not really clear now which is the master of the town, people or wild boars," Mayor Tamotsu Baba said. "If we don't get rid of them and turn this

This prompted many Japanese residents to take up a new hobby - walking with Geiger-counters Not just his animals , but everyone’s. 8. Mutations There were a few small scale Fukushima discoveries. Feeling his superiors were inept for risking a colossal radioactive fallout, Yoshida disobeyed the

To carry out this study, the scientists installed cameras on more than a hundred sites, in three areas with different levels of contamination: an area with the highest level of contamination to which access is strictly prohibited, an area with an intermediate contamination level whose access is restricted and subject to conditions, and an area with a low level of contamination in which the populations are authorized to stay.

After 120 days of monitoring, scientists were able to obtain more than 267,000 pictures and have listed nearly twenty different species.

Contrary to all expectations, these are the areas where access is strictly forbidden to humans, therefore most contaminated areas, which present the most pictures of wild animals . However, the study specifies that the presence of the animals does not give any information about their state of health.

Container with radioactive waste in Biblis crashed

During work in the interim storage facility for nuclear waste at the former Biblis power plant in southern Hesse, a concrete container with radioactive waste crashed. The safe closure of the radioactive inventory was given, announced the responsible company for interim storage BGZ on Wednesday. There was no danger to humans or the environment. © Swen Pförtner / dpa A sign with the words “radioactive”.

"Our results show that the level of human activity, altitude and habitat type are the main factors influencing the abundance of the species assessed, rather than the levels of radioactivity", explains Thomas Hinton, professor at the 'Institute of Environmental Radioactivity of the University of Fukushima.
