Radioactive fallout and neural tube defects

Radioactive fallout; Chernobyl; Fukushima; Neural tube defects; Anencephaly; Spina bifida Abstract Possible link between radioactivity and the occurrence of neural tube defects is a long lasting debate since the Chernobyl nuclear fallout in 1986. A recent report on the incidence of neural defects in the west coast of USA, following Fukushima disaster, brought another evidence for effect of radi...

Analysis of External Surface Irregularities on Fukushima-Derived Fallout Particles

Three large high radioactivity particulate fragments, each several 100 μm in diameter, have been recovered from the region immediately surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Through the application of high-resolution electron and ion-beam methods, this work has sought to investigate the structure and composition of this fibrous surface morphology. By evaluating this, a potential...
