Aoyama Aoyama, a visiting professor at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, recently released the results of his research at an international seminar hosted by Fukushima University. Said that the radioactive substance cesium 137 that entered the ocean in the 2011 Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident arrived on the west coast of the United States and traveled northward, passing by the Bering Sea, the northernmost part of the Pacific Ocean, returns to the northeastern coast of Japan in about 7 to 8 years.

A collimator is a device used to transform the divergent light or other radiation from a point light source into a parallel beam, and also is an absorber device used to limit X-rays, gamma rays, or nuclear particle beams to the size and angular spread required for a specific application. Normally, special measurements in spectroscopy and geometric and physical optics require this kind of light collimation.

Tungsten, also known as Wolfram, is a rare metal known for its highest melting point of all elements. In addition to excellent temperature resistance, the material also has strong abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. These good properties make it an ideal material for components that operate at extreme temperatures.
