This open access book summarizes the latest scientific findings
regarding the biological effects of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Plant (FNPP) accident in 2011. Various cases of changes in
animals and organisms have been reported since the FNPP accident.
However, it is often unknown whether they are actually due to
radiation, since the dose or dose-rate are not necessarily
associated with the changes observed. This book brings together the
works of radiation biologists and ecologists to provide reliable
radioecology data and gives insight into future radioprotection.
The book examines the environmental pollution and radiation
exposure, and contains valuable data from abandoned livestock in
the ex-evacuation zone and from wild animals including
invertebrates and vertebrates, aqueous and terrestrial animals, and
plants that are subjected to long-term exposure in the area still
affected by radiation. It also analyzes dose evaluation, and offers
new perspectives gained from the accident, as well as an overview
for future studies to promote radioprotection of humans and the
ecosystem. Since the biological impact of radiation is influenced
by various factors, it is difficult to scientifically define the
effects of low-dose/low-dose-rate radiation. However, the detailed
research data presented can be combined with the latest scientific
and technological advances, such as artificial intelligence, to
provide new insights in the future. This book is a unique and
valuable resource for researchers, professionals and anyone
interested in the impact of exposure to radiation or contamination
with radioactive materials.
