Summary:"A large area that includes Fukushima Prefecture was seriously contaminated by radioactive materials emitted into the atmosphere and the ocean by the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (hereafter, FDNPS1) of the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which was caused by the Tohoku Region Pacific Coast Earthquake in 2011. The emitted radioactive materials were transported by seasonal wind and ocean currents to a wide area of the globe and have been observed in various places in the Northern Hemisphere. These materials have also been detected in soil, forests, lakes, rivers, and seas due to fallout and direct discharge, and continued movement in the environment"--
