A Fukushima-like nuclear accident does not have to be caused by nature. Similar results could
be wrought by military attack that disabled its safety systems, including cooling and power
systems of nuclear power plants (NPPs).
This study shows hypothetical releases from a core meltdown or spent fuel pool fire of NPPs
occurred by military attack such as missile attacks in some of Northeast Asia countries, with
atmospheric dispersion and deposition calculations using the HYSPLIT code with historical
meteorological data for the region.
