U.S. Department of Energy Releases Radiation Monitoring Data from Fukushima Area


March 22, 2011

U.S. Department of Energy Releases Radiation Monitoring Data from Fukushima Area

Today the U.S. Department of Energy released data recorded from its Aerial Monitoring System as well as ground detectors deployed along with its Consequence Management Response Teams. The information has also been shared with the government of Japan as part of the United States' ongoing efforts to support Japan with the recovery and response effort. 

On March 15, 33 experts from the Department's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) arrived in Japan along with more than 17,200 pounds of equipment. After initial deployments at U.S. consulates and military installations in Japan, these teams have utilized their unique skills, expertise and equipment to help assess, survey, monitor and sample areas for radiation. The 33 team members joined another six DOE personnel already in Japan. 

Since arriving in Japan, NNSA teams have collected and analyzed data gathered from more than 40 hours of flights aboard Department of Defense aircraft and thousands of ground monitoring points. 

That data has been collected, analyzed and posted on the Department's website at www.energy.gov/japan2011. Consistent with the President's commitment to share important information related to health and safety with the public, the Department will seek to update the data posted on its website daily. 

For more information about NNSA's emergency response capabilities, visit www.nnsa.doe.gov.

Terada Torahiko's Tsunami and Human Beings

Dr. Terada Torahiko(寺田寅彦; 1878-1935), a physicist of Japan, once said that "Natural disasters and catastrophies will hit at a time when you forget them". In the 1896 Meiji Sanriku Tsunami, 1,859 people perished, while 911 people died in the Showa Sanriku Tsunami of 1933. Referring to these two tsumami, Dr. Terada already had pointed out that preparing for tsunami disaster was needed in Tsunami and Human Beings (1933).
