Japan nuclear accident spread of radioactive material floating to 8 km of the global

Zhongxinwang, May 12, according to’s Kyodo News Agency reported that Japan Fukushima University published on 11th balloon observations show that by Fukushima’s first nuclear power plant accident releasing radioactive material is probably one of 6~8 near km altitude. Vertical height to identify one of the radioactive material is the first time. According to reports, the team will be through the application of the prediction of radioactive substance diffusion Foundation data to improve forecast accuracy. Research group leader, Fukushima University Vice President du Bian Ming said: “the results show that (by accident) the release of radioactive material has been worldwide diffusion. But since not immediately fell to the ground, so it does not affect health. ”

It was reported that Watanabe on April 15 in Fukushima city balloon for every day during an observation, determined to 20 km/h high levels of radiation from the ground. Measurement result displays, beta rays near the surface is about 134cpm (CPM for radiation units), decreasing radiation as the balloon rises, and 6 km altitude increased levels of radiation, at 8.2 km high peak 506cpm. Beta rays are typically about 80cpm.

Reports that from nuclear power plants release radioactive material may have been in the atmosphere of the junction of the troposphere and the stratosphere and troposphere, Earth one a few times.
