Fukushima-derived radionuclides in sediments of the Japanese Pacific Ocean coast and various Japanese water samples (seawater, tap water, and coolant water of Fukushima Daiichi reactor unit 5) [PDF]
We investigated Ocean sediments and seawater from inside the Fukushima exclusion zone and found radiocesium (134Cs and 137Cs) up to 800 Bq kg-1 as well as 90Sr up to 5.6 Bq kg-1.

Accumulation and Tolerance of Radiocesium in Plants and its Impact on the Environment [PDF]
Cesium 133Cs natural concentration is low and not toxic. It acts as short term pollutant in air but in soil it has long persistence. Plant uptake being the pathway of entrance of Cesium in biosphere.

Simultaneous measurements of HERFD‐XANES, RXES and RIXS of caesium using a transition‐edge sensor
A transition‐edge sensor (TES) enables simultaneous measurements of HERFD‐XANES, RXES and RIXS with a high‐energy resolution. This study employed a TES to investigate caesium compounds at the Cs LII‐edge (5359 eV).A transition‐edge sensor (TES) enables high‐resolution measurements of X‐ray fluorescence across a wide energy range, allowing for the ...

Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs
ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Transport and recycling of radiocesium in the alimentary tract of reindeer
Transport of radiocesium between the body pools and the alimentary tract was studied in 7 reindeer calves. Comparisons were made between reindeer receiving the Cs- binder Prussian blue (Ammon-ium-ironhexacyanoferrate) and untreated animals.

This study focuses on the rapid and accurate determination of cesium, a key radioactive contaminant attracting global attention, by creating an ultrasensitive pore‐dependent electrochemiluminescence detection system. It has been successfully applied in the determination of various kinds of environmental samples, exhibiting its significance in the ...

Novel method for determining of 137Cs in seawater using liquid scintillation counter
Abstract Robust and efficient monitoring of radiocesium in the marine environment has become increasingly important, especially following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. A liquid scintillation counter (LSC) has been used for 137Cs analysis—which was identified as one of the hazardous radionuclides; however, a major limitation of ...

Radial and vertical distributions of radiocesium in tree stems of Pinus densiflora and Quercus serrata 1.5 y after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. [PDF]
The radial and vertical distributions of radiocesium in tree stems were investigated to understand radiocesium transfer to trees at an early stage of massive contamination from the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
