Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Monitoring Capabilities Still in Use 10 Years After Fukushima Earthquake and Nuclear Power Plant Disaster

Image - A 3D cesium-137 contamination map in a bamboo forest in the Fukushima region obtained in 2017. This map was produced within 15 minutes using Berkeley Lab’s Scene Data Fusion technologies. The technologies provide detailed information about radioisotope-specific contamination critical in assessing the radiation and in guiding decontamination efforts, as well as making radiation “visible” in three dimensions to aid the understanding of citizens and communities.
