Comparing Fukushima and
Chernobyl concerning radionuclide distribution and Isotopic variations on
Land and effects on the environment. New studies by
Timothy Mousseu and his team.
Tim was interviewed and he gave us an overall look at the situation and compares the 2 nuclear disasters for us.

Professor Timothy Mousseau received his doctoral degree in
1988 from
McGill University and completed a
NSERC (
Canada) postdoctoral fellowship in population biology at the
University of California, Davis. He joined the faculty at the
University of South Carolina in
1991 and is currently a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences in the
College of Arts & Sciences.
Professor Mousseau’s past experience includes having served as
Dean of the
Graduate School (2010-11), Associate
Vice President for Research and
Graduate Education (2010-11),
Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Arts & Sciences (2006-10), as a
Program Officer for the
Population Biology program at the
National Science Foundation (1997-98), on the editorial boards for several journals, and on
NSF,
USGS, and a variety of international grant foundation advisory panels. He recently served on the
National Academy of Sciences panel to analyze cancer risks in populations near nuclear facilities.
He was elected a fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of
Science (
AAAS) in 2008, a Fellow
National of the
Explorers Club in 2009, and a member of the
Cosmos Club (DC) in
2011. He was awarded both the
President’s
Appreciation Award and the Faculty Award from the national
Black Graduate Student Association (BGSA) in 2011.
Dr. Mousseau has published over 160 scholarly articles and has edited two books,
Maternal Effects as Adaptations,
1998, with
Charles Fox and
Adaptive Genetic Variation in the
Wild,
2000, with
Barry Sinervo and
John Endler, both published by
Oxford University Press. He is currently co-editor (with Charles Fox) of the annual review series, The Year in
Evolutionary Biology, published by the
New York Academy of Sciences.
Mousseau and his students have worked on a wide diversity of organisms, from bacteria to beetles to birds, and his primary areas of research interest include the genetic basis of adaptive variation, and the evolution of maternal effects.
Since
1999, Professor Mousseau and his collaborators (esp. Dr.
Anders Pape Møller,
CNRS,
University of Paris-Sud) have explored the ecological and evolutionary consequences of the radioactive contaminants affecting populations of birds, insects and people inhabiting the Chernobyl region of
Ukraine, and more recently, in
Fukushima Prefecture,
Japan. Their research suggests that many species of plants and animals experience direct toxicity and increased mutational loads as a result of exposure to radionuclides stemming from the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters. In many species (e.g. the barn swallow,
Hirundo rustica), data suggests that this mutational load has had dramatic consequences for development, reproduction and survival, and the effects observed at individual and population levels are having large impacts on the biological communities of these regions. Dr. Mousseau’s current research is aimed at elucidating the causes of variation among different species in their apparent sensitivity to radionuclide exposure.
