Radiation effects from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster times the safety limit, Professor Yasuyuki Muramatsu at the Gakushuin University urged detailed checks on wild plants and animals. Radioactive caesium in soil and fallen leaves in forests in his opinion would be easily absorbed by mushrooms and edible plants. He said that wild animals like boars were bound to accumulate high levels of radioactivity by eating contaminated mushrooms and plants. The professor added that detailed studies were on wild plants and animals. Across Europe the Chernobyl-incident had likewise effects on wild fauna and flora. The first study of the effects of radioactive contamination following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
Isotopes of caesium only long after the nuclear explosion is over. The combined yield of Cs and Cs is given as 6.7896%. The proportion between the two will change with continued neutron irradiation. Cs also captures neutrons with a cross section of 140 barns, becoming long-lived radioactive Cs. Caesium-134 undergoes beta decay (β), producing Ba 134 directly and emitting on average 2.23 gamma ray photons (mean energy 0.698 MeV). Caesium-135 is a mildly radioactive isotope of caesium with a half-life of 2.3 million years, decaying, via emission of a low-energy beta particle, into the stable isotope barium-135. Caesium-135 is one of the 7
