What happened when medical staff in Beijing, China wore over-apron dosemeters?

The wearing method of personal dosemeters for medical staff changed from under to outside the operator's protective apron in April 2020. We measured the radiation dose Hp(10) for medical staff in Beijing from September 2020 to October 2021. The study population consisted of 3291 medical staff.

YouTube Videos Related to the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster: Content Analysis.

Background: YouTube (Alphabet Incorporated) has become the most popular video-sharing platform in the world. The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) disaster resulted in public anxiety toward nuclear power and radiation worldwide. YouTube is an important source of information about the FDNPP disaster for the world.

SHOULD WE BEGIN REGULATING THE RADIATION SAFETY OF CABINET X-RAY SYSTEMS?

Radiation measurements were conducted at 22 cabinet X-ray systems in Beijing, China, between 2015 and 2019. The median dose rates in the closed-drapes position were 0.11, 0.

Radiocesium concentrations in mushrooms collected in Kawauchi Village five to eight years after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident.

Following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011, radionuclides such as iodine-131, cesium-134 and cesium-137 were released into environment. In this study, we collected wild mushrooms from the Kawauchi Village of Fukushima Prefecture, located less than 30 km southwest of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, to evaluate their radiocesium (134Cs+137Cs) concentrations and the risk of internal radiation exposure in local residents. 342 mushroom samples were collected from 2016 to 2019.

Environmental Remediation of the difficult-to-return zone in Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture.

Temporal variations in ambient dose rates in a restricted area designated as "difficult-to-return" for residents of Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture were evaluated in a car-borne survey during 2018-2019. The median dose rates in the "Decontaminated area" in the difficult-to-return zone decreased rapidly from 1.0 μSv/h to 0.

Radiocesium concentrations in wild boars captured within 20 km of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident in 2011 released large amounts of artificial radioactive substances into the environment. In this study, we measured the concentration of radiocesium (Cs + Cs) in 213 muscle samples from wild boars (Sus scrofa) captured in Tomioka town, which is located within 20 km of the FDNPP. The results showed that 210 (98.

Chemical content and source apportionment of 36 heavy metal analysis and health risk assessment in aerosol of Beijing.

The concentration levels of 36 airborne heavy metals and atmospheric radioactivity in total suspended particulate (TSP) samples were measured to investigate the chemical characteristics, potential sources of aerosols, and health risk in Beijing, China, from September 2016 to September 2017. The TSP concentrations varied from 6.93 to 469.

Survey on radioactive contamination in Beijing following the Japanese Fukushima nuclear accident.

The radioactive contamination in Beijing caused by the Japanese Fukushima nuclear accident was monitored. In this research, samples of air, rainwater, surface water and vegetables in Beijing were collected and measured to estimate the radioactive contamination levels in Beijing. During the period from the 15th to the 41st day after the first emission of radioactive material (first emission) from the Japanese Fukushima nuclear power station (NPS) on 12 March 2011, obvious radioactive contamination was found in the Beijing air samples.
