  • Safety Inspections of Fisheries Products on Radioactive Materials
    (Provisional translation) [16 March] Safety inspections of fisheries products on radioactive materials Sericulture and Horticulture Division, Gunma Prefecture The Gunma Prefectural Government conducted inspections on radioactive materials in the samples of landlocked salmon, whitespotted char and Japanese dace taken from 14 rivers, Japanese smelt taken from one lake, and ayu sweetfish taken from one fish farm in the prefecture. The result of the inspection, obtained on 16 March, showed that the level of radioactive cesium was below the provisional regulation value in all the samples. However, in response to implementation of the new Standard Limits on 1 April, the Gunma Prefectural Government and relevant Fisheries Cooperatives have consented to release Japanese dace caught in Nakuta River, landlocked salmon and whitespotted char caught in Imagawa River, Kenjo River and Nurukawa River, and not to serve such fish for consumption. The Prefectural Government and Fisheries Cooperatives also have consented to collect Japanese smelt caught in Akagi-onuma Lake, and not to serve them for consumption. 1.

Kusatsu-Shiranesan Continuously Monitored by JMA Latitude: 36°38'38" N, Longitude: 138°31'40" E, Elevation: 2,160 m (Shiranesan) (Elevation Point) Latitude: 36°37'06" N, Longitude: 138°31'40" E, Elevation: 2,165 m (Shiranesan) (Triangulation Point) Overview of Kusatsu-Shiranesan taken from the west side on August 10, 2011 by the Japan Meteorological Agency Summary Kusatsu-Shiranesan is a stratovolcano which was formed asymmetrically on Neogene basement rock which slopes downwards to the southeast. A group of pyroclastic cones, including Shiranesan, Ainomine, and Motoshiranesan, which stretch from the north to the south, are located in its highest western area. To the south and east of these cones, andesitic lava flows cover an area of several km from the summit. Further downhill there is a dacitic pyroclastic flow plateau. The SiO2 content of the andesite and dacite is between 53.7 and 64.2 wt %. 3 crater lakes are arranged from northeast to southwest at the summit of the Shiranesan pyroclastic cone. They are named Mizugama, Yugama, and Karegama. All historical eruptions were occurred in the Shiranesan summit area. All recent eruptive activity consists of phreatic explosions. The volcano is prone to producing lahars. The volcano has many hot springs, such as Kusatsu Onsen, and solfatara which generates H2S. 1 (44.

  • Spatial and Temporal Models of J¯Omon Settlement
    Spatial and Temporal Models of Jomon¯ Settlement Enrico R. Crema A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Archaeology University College London January 2013 Declaration I, Enrico Ryunosuke Crema, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ”Ce qui est simple est toujours faux. Ce qui ne l’est pas est inutilisable” (P. Valery) ”All models are wrong, but some are useful” (George E.P. Box) Abstract The Jomon¯ culture is a tradition of complex hunter-gatherers which rose in the Japanese archipelago at the end of the Pleistocene (ca. 13,000 cal BP) and lasted until the 3rd millennium cal BP. Recent studies increasingly suggest how this long cultural persistence was characterised by repeated episodes of change in settle- ment pattern, primarily manifested as cyclical transitions between nucleated and dispersed distributions. Although it has been suggested that these events corre- late with population dynamics, shifts in subsistence strategies, and environmental change, to date there have been very few attempts to provide a quantitative anal- ysis of spatio-temporal change in Jomon settlement and its possible causes. This thesis is an attempt to fill that lacuna by adopting a twin-track approach to the problem. First, two case studies from central Japan have been examined us- ing a novel set of methods, which have been specifically designed to handle the intrinsic chronological uncertainty which characterises most prehistoric data. This facilitated the application of a probabilistic framework for quantitatively assessing the available information, making it possible to identify alternating phases of nu- cleated and dispersed pattern during a chronological interval between 7000 and 3300 cal BP.

  • Fukushima Nuclear Disaster – Implications for Japanese Agriculture and Food Chains
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Fukushima nuclear disaster – implications for Japanese agriculture and food chains Bachev, Hrabrin and Ito, Fusao Institute of Agricultural Economics, Sofia, Tohoku University, Sendai 3 September 2013 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/49462/ MPRA Paper No. 49462, posted 03 Sep 2013 08:50 UTC Fukushima Nuclear Disaster – Implications for Japanese Agriculture and Food Chains1 Hrabrin Bachev, Professor, Institute of Agricultural Economics, Sofia, Bulgaria2 Fusao Ito, Professor, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan 1. Introduction On March 11, 2011 at 14:46 JST the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred with the epicenter around 70 kilometers east of Tōhoku. It was the most powerful recorded earthquake ever hit Japan with a magnitude of 9.03 Mw. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami that reached heights of up to 40 meters in Miyako, Iwate prefecture and travelled up to 10 km inland in Sendai area. The earthquake and tsunami caused many casualties and immense damages in North-eastern Japan. According to some estimates that is the costliest natural disaster in the world history [Kim]. Official figure of damages to agriculture, forestry and fisheries alone in 20 prefectures amounts to 2,384.1 billion yen [MAFF]. The earthquake and tsunami caused a nuclear accident3 in one of the world’s biggest nuclear power stations - the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Okuma and Futaba, Fukushima prefecture. After cooling system failure three reactors suffered large explosions and level 7 meltdowns leading to releases of huge radioactivity into environment [TEPCO]. Radioactive contamination has spread though air, rains, dust, water circulations, wildlife, garbage disposals, transportation, and affected soils, waters, plants, animals, infrastructure, supply and food chains in immense areas.
