Workshop on Source Term Estimation (STE) Methods for Estimating the Atmospheric Radiation Release From the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant

该奖项将支持美国和日本科学家之间的双边国际研讨会。该工作室是由福岛核电站事故驱动的，该事故是由大地震和随后的海啸造成的。这次研讨会的主要焦点是召集美国和日本的研究人员共同确定需要进行的研究，以便更好地了解如何确定释放的放射性物质的数量。这是一个需要对各种物理过程有基本的科学理解的问题，它不仅对福岛事件，而且对未来可能发生的任何事件都具有重大的实用价值。

This award will support a bilateral international workshop between U.S. and Japanese scientists. The workshop is being driven by the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident that was caused by the massive earthquake and subsequent Tsunami. The primary focus of the workshop is to bring together researchers in both the U.S. and Japan to define the research needed to better understand how to ascertain the quantity of released radioactive material. This is a problem that requires fundamental scientific understanding of a variety of physical processes and it also has substantial practical value for not only the Fukushima incident, but for any that may occur in the future.
