Comparison of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents: a review of the environmental impacts.
TL;DR: The environmental impacts of the nuclear accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima are compared and monitoring campaigns after both accidents reveal that the environmental impact of the Chernobyl accident was much greater than of the Fukushima accident.

Cesium-137 deposition and contamination of Japanese soils due to the Fukushima nuclear accident
Teppei J. Yasunari,Andreas Stohl,Ryugo S. Hayano,John F. Burkhart,Sabine Eckhardt,Tetsuzo Yasunari +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that 137Cs strongly contaminated the soils in large areas of eastern and northeastern Japan, whereas western Japan was sheltered by mountain ranges, which may help to coordinate decontamination efforts and plan regulatory measures in Japan.
Xenon-133 and caesium-137 releases into the atmosphere from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant: determination of the source term, atmospheric dispersion, and deposition
Andreas Stohl,Petra Seibert,Gerhard Wotawa,Delia Arnold,Delia Arnold,John F. Burkhart,Sabine Eckhardt,C. Tapia,Arturo Vargas,Teppei J. Yasunari +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the emissions into the atmosphere of two isotopes, the noble gas xenon-133 (133Xe) and the aerosol-bound caesium-137 (137Cs), which have very different release characteristics as well as behavior in the atmosphere.

Multiphase chemistry at the atmosphere-biosphere interface influencing climate and public health in the anthropocene.
Ulrich Pöschl,Manabu Shiraiwa +1 more
TL;DR: This work addresses air contaminants and their multiphase chemical interactions at the atmosphere−biosphere interface, including human lungs and skin, plant leaves, cryptogamic covers, soil, and aquatic surfaces, and the chemical interactions of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, as well as carbonaceous combustion aerosols.

Atmospheric discharge and dispersion of radionuclides during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Part II : Verification of the source term and analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion
TL;DR: The analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion and deposition suggests that the present distribution of a large amount of (137)Cs deposition in eastern Japan was produced primarily by four events that occurred on March 12, 15-16, 20, and 21-23.

TL;DR: The simulation indicated that air dose rates significantly increased in the south-southwest region of FNPP1 by dry deposition of the high-concentration plume discharged from the night of March 14 to the morning of March 15.

TL;DR: It is shown that levels of deposited 137Cs can be closely related to rainfall intercepting the plume, and 131I on grass and in cow's milk therefore shows a different geographic pattern to 137Cs, and is not so closelyrelated to rainfall.
