TL;DR: Lunar soil samples reveal an unusually high level of radioactive iron, which suggests a supernova in our vicinity within the last few million years as mentioned in this paper, which suggests that supernova may have occurred in the distant past.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-resolved 2-million-year-old supernova activity discovered in Earth’s microfossil record

TL;DR: A time-resolved 60Fe signal residing, at least partially, in a biogenic reservoir is reported through the direct detection of live 60Fe atoms contained within secondary iron oxides, among which are magnetofossils, the fossilized chains of magnetite crystals produced by magnetotactic bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
233U/236U signature allows to distinguish environmental emissions of civil nuclear industry from weapons fallout.
Karin Hain,Peter Steier,M.B. Froehlich,Robin Golser,Xiaolin Hou,Johannes Lachner,Johannes Lachner,Tomoya Nomura,Jixin Qiao,Francesca Quinto,Aya Sakaguchi +10 more
TL;DR: The ratios detected in compartments of the environment affected by releases of nuclear power production or by weapons fallout differ by one order of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jixin Qiao,Haitao Zhang,Haitao Zhang,Peter Steier,Karin Hain,Xiaolin Hou,Vesa-Pekka Vartti,Gideon M. Henderson,Mats Eriksson,Ala Aldahan,Göran Possnert,Robin Golser +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multi-isotopic fingerprints of uranium and iodine to discover a previously unknown source of reactor uranium in the Baltic Sea, likely sourced from a Swedish nuclear facility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plutonium Isotopes (239-241Pu) Dissolved in Pacific Ocean Waters Detected by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry: No Effects of the Fukushima Accident Observed.

TL;DR: P, with the signature of weapon-grade Pu was found in a single sample collected around 770 km off the west coast of the United States, which means that no impact from the Fukushima accident was detected.
