Radiocesium i renkött - ökad stråldos för samebefolkningen
Rangifer, 1990 Trots att nedfallet i Lappland var bara ungefär en tiondedel av det genomsnittliga nedfallet i Finland var kroppsinnehållet av radiocesium i samegruppen ungefär fyra gånger det genomsnittliga innehållet i hela befolkningen.

Investigation of spatial distribution of radiocesium in a paddy field as a potential sink. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Surface soils, under various land uses, were contaminated by radionuclides that were released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Because paddy fields are one of the main land uses in Japan, we investigated the spatial distribution of ...

Horizontal distribution of Fukushima-derived radiocesium in zooplankton in the northwestern Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 The magnitude of the 9.0 Tohoku earthquake and the ensuing tsunami on 11 March 2011, inflicted heavy damage on the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (FNPP1).

Radiocesium metabolism in reindeer
Rangifer, 1990 Abstract: Early in the era of atmospheric nuclear weapon tests, the reindeer was found to be an interesting animal concerning the transfer of environmental radioactive contaminants to man via the production of contaminated reindeer meat. The reason for the high transfer factors for some radionuclides is the feeding habits of the reindeer with a ...

EFFECT OF SOIL AMENDMENTS ON RADIOCESIUM TRANSFER TO ALFALFA
Health Physics, 2003 Greenhouse experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of different soil-based countermeasures on radiocesium transfer to Medicago saliva (alfalfa) grown on artificially contaminated loamy-clayey soil. Various rates of potassium, ammonium, and Prussian Blue supplements were applied, and the uptake of radiocesium by control and treated alfalfa ...

Quantitative risk assessment of radiocesium associated with Japanese foods imported into the United Kingdom. [PDF]
Risk AnalAbstract Damage to a nuclear power station resulted in radioactive contamination of certain areas of Japan in 2011. Legislation was put in place in Europe to establish controls on the import of certain types of food and feed, including a limit of 100 radioactive decays (becquerel, Bq) per second of radiocesium per kg.

Bioaccumulation of Mercury and Radiocesium in Waterfowl Introduced to a Site with Legacy Contamination. [PDF]
Environ Toxicol Chem, 2022 Abstract Despite the propensity of waterfowl species to readily accumulate anthropogenic contaminants within polluted environments, few studies have examined bioaccumulation rates over time when entering such a contaminated site. We examined mercury (Hg) and radiocesium (137Cs) bioaccumulation over time in two waterfowl species released into a wetland ...

Processes that Contribute to Radiocesium Decontamination of Feta Cheese
Journal of Dairy Science, 1989 In a series of experiments, the transfer of radiocesium from ovine milk to feta cheese was investigated through modifications of the standard cheese making procedure. All variations explored showed no significant change in the percentage of radiocesium transfer and the milk-to-cheese transfer coefficient was determined as f=.79 plus/minus .04 L.kg-1 ...

Grassland Science, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 253-260, October 2023., 2023 Abstract In Japan, additional potassium fertilization is used as a countermeasure for radiocesium‐contaminated grasslands in the Tohoku and North Kanto regions. A 2‐year pot experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of using tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), a low‐cesium‐absorption grass species, to replace orchardgrass (Dactylis ...
