Radioactive particles in soil, plant, and dust samples after the Fukushima nuclear accident
Environmental samples of soil, plant and air dust collected after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident were analyzed by autoradiograph, and significant amounts of radioactive particles containing higher cesium-134 (¹³⁴Cs) and cesium-137 (¹³⁷Cs) were found. Most of the radioactive soil...

| description | Environmental samples of soil, plant and air dust collected after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident were analyzed by autoradiograph, and significant amounts of radioactive particles containing higher cesium-134 (¹³⁴Cs) and cesium-137 (¹³⁷Cs) were found. Most of the radioactive soil particles were clay sized. The main part of the radioactivity and radioactive particles of air dust was detected from the 1.1–2.0μm fraction of an Andersen sampler filter. A considerable part of the radioactive particles on the air dust filter were not water soluble. Radioactive particles attached to outdoor plant leaves persisted for nearly 1 year. Thus, soil, leaf and air dust similarly contained sparingly water-soluble, micron-sized radioactive particles each with comparable ranges of elevated radio-Cs. A sheet dilution method was proposed and used to select and purify these radioactive particles. Using selected radioactive particles, the relation between area × gray value on autoradiograph and radioactivity was estimated. Radioactivity per particle was up to a few Bq and the geometrical average radioactivity of detected particles was around 0.1 Bq per particle or less. The configuration, chemical composition, origin and formation mechanisms of the radioactive particles require clarification. |
