According to Chernobyl disaster liquidators, the radiation levels there are "well below the level across the zone", a fact that president of the Ukrainian Chernobyl Union Yury Andreyev considers miraculous. [35] The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has been accessible to interested parties such as scientists and journalists since the zone was created.
The map contains the caesium concentrations and radiation levels caused by the airborne radioactivity from the Fukushima nuclear reactor. This website contains both web-based and PDF versions of the maps, providing information by municipality as had been the case previously, but also measurements by district.
Radiation levels exceeding annual limits seen over 60 kilometres (37 mi) to northwest and 40 kilometres (25 mi) to south-southwest, according to officials.

Fukushima I and II Nuclear Accidents Overview Map showing evacuation and other zone progression and selected radiation levels. The Japanese reaction occurred after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, following the 2011 TÅhoku earthquake and tsunami. A nuclear emergency was declared by the government of Japan on 11 March.
Background radiation is a measure of the level of ionizing radiation present in the environment at a particular location which is not due to deliberate introduction of radiation sources. Background radiation originates from a variety of sources, both natural and artificial.
State-ordered environmental testing has uncovered elevated levels of cancer-causing radiation at a popular spot for hikers and dog walkers in the Bay Area, according to a new report. Over the ...
In 2005, radiation levels in the Red Forest were in some places as high as 10 mSv/h. More than 90% of the radioactivity of the Red Forest was concentrated in the soil. [4] The nature of the area seems to have not only survived, but flourished due to significant reduction of human impact.
OSLO (Reuters) -Norway said on Wednesday that elevated levels of radioactive caesium (Cs-137) it had detected near the Arctic border with Russia were likely due to a forest fire near Chornobyl in ...
