Today March 11 it has been 14 years since the Fukushima nuclear disaster. What happens if you overlay the radioactive plume of Fukushima on the seven sites selected by the federal Coalition to house multiple nuclear power reactors? On nuclearplume.au you can select the reactor site and wind direction to see how a Fukushima-scale nuclear disaster would contaminate different areas surrounding the seven sites in Australia. The interactive map uses a radiation plume map of the deposition of radioactive caesium-137 from the Fukushima disaster as of July 2011. The darker the shading, the higher the level of radioactive contamination and the higher the radiation exposures for people in those areas. At distances far from the Fukushima plant, radiation exposures were low but even low radiation doses can cause negative health impacts including fatal cancers and cardiovascular disease.
What if a Fukushima-sized nuclear accident happened in Australia? - Don’t Nuke the Climate #auspol > youtu.be/FrScaM8ChXk?...
The @dontnuketheclimate.bsky.social team have mapped the impact of a Fukushima-sized #nuclear accident at the 7 Aust sites Dutton has named for nuclear power. Look out Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Newcastle, etc! Video here: #futureisrenewable #auspol nuclearplume.au www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrSc...
