After intense days of field sampling for cesium-rich microparticles in our Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland JSPS 独立行政法人日本学術振興会（学振） joint project, our #HelsinkiChemistry Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki Env.Radiochem.Helsinki team is off to Kyoto/Okayama for collaborative meetings, then to Kyushu university for sample analysis.

So fantastic to have great colleagues with different specialisms come together to push the science forward in nuclear accident impact studies! Thanks to our Finnish and Japanese funders Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland and JSPS 独立行政法人日本学術振興会（学振） and NHK WORLD News for documenting this important work!

Congratulations to Joyce Ang on publication of her first ‘first author’ paper. Awesome study developing use of real-time autoradiography for detection of Cs in environmental samples. Thanks to colleagues at AI4R, University of Jyväskylä, Kyushu University, marja siitari. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

BBC News (UK) will post several items this week on Finnish spent fuel disposal. Journalist Erika Benke has been finding out about the trailblazing plans @ #Onkalo. Env.Radiochem.Helsinki marja siitari of Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki #helsinkichemistry feature in today’s piece >> bbc.com/future/article…

Lovely day at the first #SAFER2028 DENSE doctoral network seminar. Great to meet colleagues from all over Finland working in the nuclear industry, government, and academia. Well done to group members Alvin Khng and Taavi Vierinen for their excellent presentations.

Lovely work from Jenna, Merja, and team on U biogeochemistry. Thanks to all at Radioactive elements in waste disposal (UHelsinki) Env.Radiochem.Helsinki, VTT, Department of Biogeochemistry at the HZDR, and CTU Prague. Open access paper is at sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New Fukushima Daiichi CsMP paper just out in Journal of Hazardous Materials |Letters |Advances — sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. Here the team Kyushu University CISAC & on Bluesky @stanfordcisac.bsky.social Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki (and others) present the first direct images of radioactive Cs atoms inside CsMPs. Thanks to our funders Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland JSPS 独立行政法人日本学術振興会（学振）.

Historic picture: It was incredibly exciting to see the beautiful pattern of Cs atoms in the pollucite structure. It’s sad that this was only possible due to a nuclear accident. New paper by University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit University of Helsinki helsinki.fi/en/news/mathem…

Congratulations to University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki Gianni F Vettese for his best poster award at the 2024 EU Predis project conference. Well done Gianni! Gianni’w research, completed in collaboration with VTT, examines the behaviour of a novel geopolymer wasteform for LILW.
