IAEA report confirms safety of discharged Fukushima water
An International Atomic Energy Agency task force has confirmed that the discharge of treated water from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is proceeding in line with international safety standards. The task force’s findings were published in the agency’s fourth report since Tokyo Electric Power Company began discharging Fukushima’s treated and diluted water in August 2023.
More information can be found on the IAEA’s Fukushima Daiichi ALPS Treated Water Discharge web page.

This paper discusses the physical and mathematical foundations and possible applications of the intensity correlation method for spatial three-dimensional (3-D) positional detection (finding the 3-D spatial position) of distant γ-ray or neutrino sources in real time or after a set of registered events. This method is based on the correlation of intensities of event sequences measured by several spaced-apart distant detectors. A specific consideration is made of the possibility of using a correlation intensities method for the analysis of the processes within a nuclear reactor, for the search of the hypothetical intra-terrestrial georeactor (planetocentric nuclear fission reactors), for the optimization of the method of single-photon-emission-computed tomography in medicine, and for other applications. The conditions of successful applications of the intensity correlation method for these systems are determined. The main problem with this method is connected to a relatively low count rate of registered neutrino events.
