Abstract
⺠We collected environmental samples near the Fukushima nuclear power plant. ⺠We observed 239Np and 59Fe along with many fission products. ⺠239Np is evidently an activation product of 238U contained in nuclear fuel. ⺠239Np is also parent nuclide of 239Pu. ⺠Our results show that activation products diffused within a month of the accident.
