The Science Council of Japan (SCJ) has started to review the modeling capability of the transportation of radioactive materials released to the environment as a result of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. The purpose of this initiative is to compare existing model results in order to assess the uncertainties in the results, as this will be an important consideration when evaluating the various applications to the mitigation measures. National and international professionals compile and analyze simulation results and analyze under the initiative. This web page summarize the activity of the model comparison.
