    Dataset on the 6-Year Radiocesium Transport in Rivers Near Fukushima

    www.nature.com/scientificdata oPEN Dataset on the 6-year radiocesium Data DescriptoR transport in rivers near Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant Keisuke Taniguchi 1,2 ✉ , Yuichi Onda 1, Hugh G. Smith 3, William Blake 4, Kazuya Yoshimura 5, Yosuke Yamashiki6 & Takayuki Kuramoto 2,7 Radiocesium released from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) and deposited in the terrestrial environment has been transported to the sea through rivers. To study the long-term efect of riverine transport on the remediation process near the FDNPP, a monitoring project was initiated by the University of Tsukuba. It was commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in June 2011, and was taken over by the Fukushima Prefectural Centre for Environmental Creation from April 2015. The activity concentration and monthly fux of radiocesium in a suspended form were measured in the project. This provides valuable measurement data to evaluate the impact of the accidentally released radiocesium on residents and the marine environment. It can also be used as verifcation data in the development and testing of numerical models to predict future impacts. Background & Summary A 9.0 magnitude earthquake on March 11, 2011, caused the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) to be damaged by a tsunami, causing a large accident that spread radioactive mate- rials into the environment1,2. Tis was the largest release of radioactivity into the environment since the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986, and has been rated on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES) as a “Major Accident” by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)3.

  • Challenges of Restoring and Rehabilitating Sewer Systems Damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami

    Challenges of Restoring and Rehabilitating Sewer Systems Damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami

    Journal of JSCE, Vol. 5, 279-297, 2017 Special Topic - Restoration and Recovery from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake（ Invited Paper） CHALLENGES OF RESTORING AND REHABILITATING SEWER SYSTEMS DAMAGED BY THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI Hiroyasu SATOH1 1Member of JSCE, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo (5-1-5 Kashiwanoha, Kashiwa, Chiba 277-8563, Japan) E-mail: [email protected] This is a review of the restoration and rehabilitation of sewer systems damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The disaster caused serious damage to sewer systems, amounting to approxi- mately 470 billion JPY. The damage was mainly caused by the tsunami, but the damage due to liquefac- tion was also serious. The tectonic activity caused additional discharge loads to municipalities in coastal areas. The nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant also affected sewer systems in such forms as radio-contamination of sewage sludge and reduction of power supplies. In addition, migra- tion of users of sewer systems took place. In the restoration activities, sewage treatment plants (STPs) were restored step-by-step, and guidelines were developed to strengthen STPs against tsunamis. The ef- fectiveness of different countermeasures against earthquakes and liquefaction were examined, and new countermeasures were proposed. Software measures such as the introduction of business continuity plans and information technologies are recognized as effective measures for overcoming disasters. In particular, the sewer systems in Sendai City have been successfully restored and rehabilitated after the disaster, with different hardware and software measures. In contrast, sewer systems in small municipalities seriously damaged by the tsunami are still taking time to rehabilitate.

    List of Bivalve Molluscs from British Columbia, Canada

    List of Bivalve Molluscs from British Columbia, Canada Compiled by Robert G. Forsyth Research Associate, Invertebrate Zoology, Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria, BC V8W 9W2; [email protected] Rick M. Harbo Research Associate, Invertebrate Zoology, Royal BC Museum, 675 Belleville Street, Victoria BC V8W 9W2; [email protected] Last revised: 11 October 2013 INTRODUCTION Classification rankings are constantly under debate and review. The higher classification utilized here follows Bieler et al. (2010). Another useful resource is the online World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS; Gofas 2013) where the traditional ranking of Pteriomorphia, Palaeoheterodonta and Heterodonta as subclasses is used. This list includes 237 bivalve species from marine and freshwater habitats of British Columbia, Canada. Marine species (206) are mostly derived from Coan et al. (2000) and Carlton (2007). Freshwater species (31) are from Clarke (1981). Common names of marine bivalves are from Coan et al. (2000), who adopted most names from Turgeon et al. (1998); common names of freshwater species are from Turgeon et al. (1998). Changes to names or additions to the fauna since these two publications are marked with footnotes. Marine groups are in black type, freshwater taxa are in blue. Introduced (non-indigenous) species are marked with an asterisk (*). Marine intertidal species (n=84) are noted with a dagger (†). Quayle (1960) published a BC Provincial Museum handbook, The Intertidal Bivalves of British Columbia. Harbo (1997; 2011) provided illustrations and descriptions of many of the bivalves found in British Columbia, including an identification guide for bivalve siphons and “shows”. Lamb & Hanby (2005) also illustrated many species.

    650-Km Long Zone of Liquefaction During the 2011 Off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku, Japan Earthquake

    6th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering 1-4 November 2015 Christchurch, New Zealand 650-km Long Zone of Liquefaction during the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku, Japan Earthquake K. Wakamatsu1, S. Senna2 ABSTRACT The off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake of March 11, 2011 was associated with widespread damage in the eastern part of Japan. Our continuing surveys nearly four years from soon after the earthquake revealed that the earthquake induced liquefaction at a significant number of locations within a 650-km long zone that extended in the eastern part of Japan. Significant damage was caused to residential houses, pipelines, levees, agricultural facilities, and port facilities as a result of the liquefaction. Counting the numbers of approximately 250-m square grid cells containing any liquefaction site, more than 8600 grid cells were defined as liquefied. Examining the intensities of the ground motion of liquefaction grid-cells, approximately 94 % of liquefaction grid-cells are distributed in the areas where the IJMA exceed “5 upper”. The liquefaction occurrence ratio for artificial fills is the highest among all geomorphologic units in Kanto region. Introduction The Mw9.0 Tohoku Earthquake of March 11, 2011 (officially named the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake by the Japanese Meteorological Agency), Japan caused extensive and widely-spread liquefaction in the eastern part of Japan. Our continuing surveys nearly four years from soon after the earthquake revealed that this earthquake induced liquefaction at a significant number of locations in 193 municipalities (cities, special wards, towns, and villages) within a 650-km long zone that extended in Tohoku and Kanto regions.
