Abstract:
131I, 137Cs and 134Cs were observed on environmental samples in Milano (40°N), Italy and Thessaloniki (45°N), Greece, early after the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan. In Thessaloniki the 131I in air was first observed on March 24, 2011. In Milano, the first evidence of Fukushima fallout has been confirmed with 131I and 137Cs measured in precipitation two days later. The different maxima found in two regions of investigation were related to complicated long-range air mass transport from Japan across the Pacific to Central Europe. HYSPLIT backward trajectories were applied for interpretation of activity variations of measured radionuclides. Results of analysis of environmental samples of rainwater, soil, grass and milk samples are reported in this work, while a dose assessment showed that the detected activities in all environmental samples were very far below levels of concern.
