Radionuclides released into the atmosphere following the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident were detected by ground-based monitoring stations worldwide.

Co-located measurements of radioxenon (Xe) and caesium (Cs) concentrations enable individual physical processes (dispersion, dry and wet deposition) to be isolated.
