Zusammenfassung |
We analyse the atmospheric electricity parameters, measured at Polish geophysical stations in
Swider, Poland, and Hornsund, Spitsbergen, in connection with the radioactive incident in
Fukushima, Japan, beginning on 11 March 2011, following the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami.
We compare our results with the situation during and after the Chernobyl disaster on April
26, 1986, when the radioactive fallout detected at Swider increased in the last week of April
1986, from 4.111 to 238.7 Bq/m2 and up to 967.0 Bq/m2 in the second week of May 1986 -
what was more than 235 times greater than the values measured prior to that accident.
Besides the electric field especially the electric conductivity is very sensitive to the
radioactive contamination of the air. Thus we postulate that these two measurements should
be run at geophysical stations over the world and used as a relatively simple and low-cost tool
for continuous monitoring of possible hazard caused by nuclear power plant accidents. |
