Observation of fallout in Hiroshima caused by the reactor accident at Chernobyl.
Fallout from the reactor accident at Chernobyl has been surveyed at Hiroshima. gamma-rays from samples of aerosol, rain water and tap water were measured using low-background gamma-ray spectrometers and concentrations of activities were followed. Almost all of the nuclides detected in Europe were observed in Hiroshima. In addition to dominant volatile fission products of 131I, 132Te-132I and 103Ru, long-lived fission products 137Cs, 106Ru-106Rh, 125Sb and activities produced through the (n, gamma) process in the reactor such as 134Cs, 136Cs and 110mAg were observed in relatively high concentrations.
