In doing this, the author conducted significant fieldwork in the restricted-access fallout zone using ground and novel UAV-based mapping of radiation to identify hot-spot areas for sample collecting but also using these tools to verify the efficacy of the clean-up operations ongoing in the prefecture. Such fieldwork was both technically pioneering for its use of UAVs (drones) but also selfless in terms of bravely entering a nuclear danger area to collect samples for the greater benefit of the scientific community. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aHeavy ions 606 $aSystem safety 606 $aNuclear energy 606 $aNuclear chemistry 606 $aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010 606 $aSecurity Science and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31080 606 $aNuclear Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000 606 $aNuclear Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C31000 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aHeavy ions. 615 0$aSystem safety. 615 0$aNuclear energy. 615 0$aNuclear chemistry. 615 14$aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons. 615 24$aSecurity Science and Technology. 615 24$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aNuclear Chemistry. 676 $a363.17990952117 676 $a363.17990952117 700 $aMartin$b Peter George$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0838582 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337870403321 996 $aThe 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident$92529922 997 $aUNINA
