h4. Situation at Japanese Nuclear Reactors
*{color:green}We realise that some people may be finding this site whilst looking for information on radioactive releases from nuclear power plants in Japan following the earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011. If this is the case you may find the following links useful:{color}*
The {menulink:custom|link=http://www.iaea.org/|target=_blank}International Atomic Energy Agency front page{menulink} has links to updates from their Incident Emergency Centre and news page which has regular updates.
The {menulink:custom|link=http://www.nisa.meti.go.jp/english/index.html|target=_blank}Nuclear Industry and Safety Agency{menulink} (Japan) website has press releases which include monitoring data.
The {menulink:custom|link=http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/12/world/asia/the-explosion-at-the-japanese-reactor.html?ref=asia|target=_blank}New York Times{menulink} website has a diagrammatic explanation of reactor shut down and meltdown.
The {menulink:custom|link=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698|target=_blank}BBC website{menulink} provides live updates.
{color:green}Currently we are unable to comment on the situation as this would be largely speculative and therefore not very helpful. However, we will continue to update links on this page if additional useful sources of information become available. This is a rapidly evolving situation and the websites are being update continually. {color}

h4. IAEA EMRAS II Biota Modelling Group\- questionnaire
Your views are required by IAEA EMRAS II Biota Modelling Group. The Biota Modelling Group is reviewing the requirements for dynamic modelling within environmental (i.e. wildlife) radiological assessments, together with an overview of available models. To help achieve this we are consulting with colleagues using a questionnaire. The questionnaire can be found [here|rpemain:IAEA].

h4. CEH Information Gateway
The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) is the UK's Centre of Excellence for integrated research in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems and their interaction with the atmosphere. The [CEH Information Gateway|https://gateway.ceh.ac.uk/] is a new tool for finding, viewing and accessing CEH's data resources including radioecology datasets. To view available radioecological data type Radioecology into the Search box. More data will be added in the future - one of the intial datasets available is that for natural radionuclide concentrations in soil, sediment and water in England and Wales (see England & Wales EA for report [Assessment of naturally occurring radionuclides in England and Wales|https://wiki.ceh.ac.uk/download/attachments/115016440/SCHO0906BLBK-e-e.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1263578602000] describing these data).
