Prof. Steven Starr: Radiation Contamination of Japan with Radioactive Cesium from Fukushima, TUC Archive

By Newest Catalog Items

Replay of the Fukushima Symposium, 2013, the first comprehensive analysis of the health and environmental damage done by one of the worst nuclear accidents of our time      Steven Starr says: “Long lived radio-nuclides such as Cesium 137 are something new to us as a species.
