This document summarizes radiological monitoring and consequences from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident as of June 2, 2011. Key findings include:
- Gamma dose rates were highest in Fukushima prefecture at 1.5 microSievert/hour and decreasing levels in surrounding prefectures.
- Low levels of radioactive iodine-131 and cesium-137 were detected in a few prefectures over a few days.
- Over 800 food samples from 18 prefectures were tested, with less than 7% exceeding Japanese regulation values for radioactive cesium and/or iodine. Restrictions remained on some foods from Fukushima and Ibaraki.

The Bhopal disaster, also referred to as the Bhopal gas tragedy, was a gas leak incident in India.
It occurred on the night of 2–3 December 1984 in the pesticide plant of Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Over 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas , one of the world’s most toxic chemicals, as it leaked into the atmosphere.

Probability Studies of Nuclear Accidents are Flawed - here's why.Scott Portzline
Now that the Fukushima Japan nuclear meltdowns have occurred, it seems that nuclear accidents happen more frequently than previously estimated. This short report shows examples of previous erroneous estimates, and finds 4 common flaws prevalent in projecting nuclear accident frequency.
its very simple and easy to explain and understand.Based on the some popular nuclear disaster. some slides are dedicated to bhopal gas tragedy and one slide is given to fire hazards.

prefectures
• I‐131
– Not detected since 18 May
• Cs‐137
– Detected in a few prefectures over a few days
– Low levels ranging from 2.2 to 91 Bq/m2
8. Food Monitoring and Food Restrictions
(Reported 19 – 31 May)
• 818 samples from 18 prefectures
• Over 40% of monitoring is in Fukushima prefecture
• Over 93% of samples indicated Cs‐134 /Cs‐137 or I‐131
were not detected or were below the Japanese
regulation values
• Less than 7% were above the Japanese regulation values
for Cs‐134 /Cs‐137 and/or I‐131
• Restrictions on the distribution and/or consumption of
specific foods in certain areas of Fukushima and Ibaraki
prefectures remain in place
