IAEA Launches Database of Fukushima Radiation Information


The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on 7 September 2012 launched a database, Fukushima Monitoring database,  of radiation measurements collected in Japan following last year's accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). The database, prepared by the IAEA’s Incident and Emergency Centre (IEC), consists of data on radiation measurements collected both near and far from the power plant since the Fukushima Daiichi accident began on 11 March 2011. It is reported that the database will be upgraded as and when additional information is received from Japan (source: IAEA News).
