L’ACRO assiste Greenpeace dans sa campagne de mesure de la radioactivité des fonds marins à Fukushima

Publié le par

Le Rainbow-Warrior III de Greenpeace est de nouveau à Fukushima pour une campagne de mesure de la contamination des fonds marins au large de la centrale accidentée de Fukushima daï-ichi.

L’ACRO est à bord pour assister Greenpeace dans cette opération (voir la photo). Chikurin, le laboratoire indépendant monté à Tôkyô avec le soutien de l’ACRO est aussi partenaire.

Voir le communiqué de presse de Greenpeace en anglais avec de nombreuses photos et vidéos.

Voir des explications en allemand, en français et en japonais ainsi que la dépêche AFP à ce sujet. Un rapport de présentation du projet en anglais est aussi disponible.

Asakaze, a Japanese research vessel chartered by Greenpeace Japan, conducts its radiation survey work off shore of Fukushima Prefecture - sea bed survey and sampling of marine sediment - with the Rainbow Warrior acting as a campaign support ship. A gamma ray spectrometer is used to measure the distribution of radioactivity discharged from the plant, and sampling and the under water videos /stills documentation are conducted by a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). All samples will be sealed upon before transport to independent laboratories in Japan and France.
