Concentrating Radiocesium with Selective Sorbents

Radiochemistry, 2003
The dynamic characteristics of 137Cs sorption with the sorbent based on NaX zeolite and copper(II) and antimony(V) ferrocyanides were studied. At a rate of filtration of active solution (2 ×105 Bq l-1137Cs) of 50-200 column volumes per hour, the degree of sorption (S) was 95.0-99.8%.

Prussian Blue for Treatment of Radiocesium Poisoning

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 2001
Prussian blue is a crystal lattice that exchanges potassium for cesium at the surface of the crystal. When given orally, it binds cesium that is secreted in the gut before it can be reabsorbed. Data suggest that in humans, Prussian blue can reduce cesium's half‐life by approximately 43% and reduce total body burdens.

Sorption of Radiocesium by Soil

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 1963
AbstractThe sorption of radiocesium (Cs‐134) by seven different samples of soil has been studied over a wide pH range (0–14). In general, the sorption is excellent except in the low pH region. The presence of 0.01 N Na +, Mg++, Ca++, Sr++, Ba++ and Al+++ does not seem to influence either the uptake of radiocesium by, or the extraction of the sorbed ...

Radiocesium uptake in reindeer on natural pasture

Science of The Total Environment, 1989
In an experiment initiated after the Chernobyl accident, a herd of reindeer was followed before and after a temporary move from a highly contaminated area (greater than 20 kBq 137 Cs/m2) to a less contaminated area (less than 3 kBq 137Cs/m2) of natural pasture.

Fukushima-derived radiocesium fallout in Hawaiian soils

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2017
Several reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant suffered damage on March 11, 2011, resulting in the release of radiocesium (134Cs and 137Cs), as well as other radionuclides, into the atmosphere. A week later, these isotopes were detected in aerosols over the state of Hawai'i and in milk samples analyzed on the island of Hawai'i.

Radiocesium in the Savannah River Site Environment

Health Physics, 1994
The Savannah River Site has produced plutonium, tritium, and other special nuclear materials for national defense, other government programs, and some civilian purposes. Radiocesium, a waste product, has been released to the environment during the operation of five reactors, two radio-chemical processing facilities, and a high-level waste storage ...

Radiocesium Translocations in Bamboos

2019
In this chapter, the study (Umemura M, Kanasashi T, Sugiura Y, Takenaka C, J Jpn For Soc 97:44–50, 2015) on the distribution of radiocesium (137Cs) in a Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest in Fukushima Prefecture after the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) is introduced. We investigated the 137Cs contamination levels in

Long-term Retention of Radiocesium by Man

Health Physics, 1962
The Los Alamoa 4 pi liquid scintillation counter (Humco I) was used to measure whole-body retention of radiocesium in four adult male subjects. Two subjects were measured for about 550 days and one for 940 days. The whole-body retention data were reduced into two-component exponential equatlons by a curve- fitting method programmed for an IBM Model 704

Radiocesium Distribution in Undisturbed Soil

Health Physics, 1995
The profile of 137Cs, due to Chernobyl accident, in undisturbed soil was measured experimentally over the years 1987 to 1994 and was found to remain practically fixed in the upper 30 cm of soil since 1987. Total deposition of 137Cs at the site was 20 kBq m-2, and approximately 80% of that is in the upper 10 cm.

Radiocesium decontamination of a riverside in Fukushima, Japan

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2017
Extensive decontamination measures have been implemented in the area affected by the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear disaster. Typical decontamination measures, such as removing topsoil of several centimeters in depth, are not suitable for rivers where contaminated sediments have been deposited.
