•A GCM was used to assess impacts of FND during different seasons. •Transport and deposition of multiple radionuclides were compared. •110 to 640 individuals are expected to die from solid cancers attributed to FND. •Expected fatalities would be 5 to 32% higher if the FND occurred another season. •Mortalities will be less than 5% of those who died from the tsunami (~ 20,000). The present paper stu
The March 11, 2011 9.0 magnitude undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan and subsequent tsunami waves triggered a major nuclear event at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power station.
