Journal of Environmental Radioactivity
Wildfire in radiologically contaminated zones is a global concern; contaminated areas around Chernobyl, Fukushima, Los Alamos, and the Nevada Nuclear Test Site have all experienced wildfires. In November 2018, the Woolsey Fire burned north of Los Angeles, CA, USA, potentially remobilizing radioactive contaminants at the former Santa Susana Field Laboratory, a shuttered nuclear research facility contaminated by chemical and radiochemical releases...

Science of the Total Environment Journal (STOTEN)
Study consisted of a total of 146 independent soil & dust samples collected from sites in Fukushima Prefecture, Greater Tokyo, and the heavily traveled corridors between these northern Japan locations to assess radiological contamination related to the Fukushima meltdowns and “detected modest radioactive contamination at Olympic venues in Japan, and found significant alpha-, beta-, and gamma-emitter contamination at Japan’s National Training Center.”
Read More → Radioactively-hot Particles Detected in Dusts and Soils from Northern JapanCo-authored by Dr. Marco Kaltofen, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), and Arnie Gundersen, Fairewinds Energy Education, the article details the analysis of radioactively hot particles collected in Japan following the Fukushima Dai-ichi meltdowns. Based on 415 samples of radioactive dust from Japan, the USA, and Canada, the study identified a statistically meaningful number of samples that were considerably more radioactive than current radiation models anticipated…

Meltdowns & Shakedowns Series
Recent federal indictments prove how utility executives use marketing ploys and employment bait to grab atomic power subsidies by threatening poor, black, Hispanic, and indigenous communities with plant closures. This use of marketing ploys and employment bait to relax regulations and increase graft is radioactive racism. Welcome to Fairewinds Meltdowns & Shakedowns series…
