It's been a challenging year but 25th anniversary edition of the RIFE report is now available online! It gives a detailed assessment of Radioactivity in Food and the Environment in the UK and the public's exposure to radiation during 2019. #radiation #radioactivity #environment

April 2020 the Chernobyl EZ had the most extensive wildfires in its history. @NERCscience CHAR https://t.co/7i22dMSf6Y is investigating the impact. Wildlife trap cameras deployed for medium/large mammal studies: 1st photo downloaded @UK_CEH @SalfordScience @portsmouthuni

[jon lloyd @profjrlloyd]

For those with an interest in how microbes impact on the safe disposal of nuclear waste, this is now out. Big thanks to co-editor Andrea Cherkouk, a team of excellent chapter authors and Elsevier. https://t.co/TkQDIaf9uS

[CRiES at University of Tsukuba (Former CRiED) @CRiES_Tsukuba]

Here is ERAN Database managed by CRiED. Environmental radioactivity data from Fukushima will be cross-searchable to anyone, any researchers in the world. That's what makes it worthwhile.
