Abstract

AbstractThe study assessed the radiological impact of the Kaiga Generating Station (KGS) on the surrounding environment and the safety of the nearby population. Over a period of 15 years (2005–2020), the radiological monitoring detected only trace levels of 3H and 137Cs (attributed to fallout) in the surrounding environment. The study utilized the non-parametric Mann–Kendall test to analyze the long-term trends, identifying either decreasing or no trend in the radioactivity levels across various environmental matrices such as air, water, biota, and dietary items. These findings indicate no significant accumulation of radioactivity, confirming the minimal environmental impact of the KGS operations.
