Abstract: The Fukushima disaster certainly will be followed by studies of the biological effects of the power plant’s radiation releases. Many studies of wildlife living in the contaminated Chernobyl zones show no major statistical effect on population health.Better data gathering and an archive of biological samples should be retained in order to resolve debates and replicate studies on the environmental effects of radiation.
