Carbon-14 transfer into rice plants from a continuous atmospheric source; Observations and model predictions

Koarashi, Jun; Davis, P. A.*; Galeriu, D.*; Melintescu, A.*; Saito, Masahiro*; Siclet, F.*; Uchida, Shigeo*

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 99(10), p.1671 - 1679, 2008/10

Carbon-14 ($$^{14}$$C) is one of the most important radionuclides from the perspective of dose estimation due to the nuclear fuel cycle. Ten years of monitoring data on $$^{14}$$C in airborne emissions, in atmospheric CO$$_{2}$$ and in rice grain collected around the Tokai reprocessing plant (TRP) showed an insignificant radiological effect of the TRP-derived $$^{14}$$C on the public, but suggested a minor contribution of the TRP-derived $$^{14}$$C to atmospheric $$^{14}$$C concentrations, and an influence on $$^{14}$$C concentrations in rice grain at harvest. This paper also summarizes a modelling exercise (the so-called rice scenario of the IAEA's EMRAS program) in which $$^{14}$$C concentrations in air and rice predicted with various models were compared with observed concentrations. The modelling results showed that Gaussian plume models with different assumptions predict monthly-averaged $$^{14}$$C concentrations in air well and also that specific activity and dynamic models were equally good for the prediction of inter-annual changes in $$^{14}$$C concentrations in rice grain.

MOGRA is a migration prediction code for toxic ground additions including radioactive materials in a terrestrial environment. MOGRA consists of computational codes that are applicable to various evaluation target systems, and can be used on personal computers. The computational code has the dynamic compartment analysis block, GUI for computation parameter settings and results displays, data bases. The compartments are obtained by classifying various natural environments into groups that exhibit similar properties. A hypothetical combination of land usage was supposed to check the function of MOGRA. The land usage was consisted from cultivated lands, forests, uncultivated lands, urban area, river, and lake. Each land usage has its own inside model which is basic module. Also supposed was homogeneous contamination of the surface land from atmospheric deposition of $$^{137}$$Cs (1.0 Bq/m$$^{2}$$). The system analyzed the dynamic changes of $$^{137}$$Cs concentrations in each compartment, fluxes from one compartment to another compartment.

The International Symposium : Transfer of Radionuclides in Biosphere, Prediction and Assessment was held at Mito on the 18th and 19th of Dec. 2002. This Symposium was organized by the Interchange Committee on Radionuclide Transfer in Soil Ecosphere. This project is the 3rd Phase Crossover Research, which is engaged in cooperation with five organizations:JAERI, MRI, NIRS, RIKEN and IES. The main objective of this symposium is to discuss and exchange recent findings and ideas in the area of the behavior and transfer of radionuclides in biosphere. One of the important topics in this symposium is to discuss a suitable transfer model and transfer parameters which may be adapted for Southeast Asian countries including Japan, as environmental conditions and foodstuffs in this region are significantly different from those in Europe and North America. The symposium consisted of 12 invited lectures and 44 poster presentations. The 120 participants attended the symposium, including 19 foreigners coming from 12 countries.

MOGRA (Migration Of GRound Additions) is a migration prediction code for toxic ground additions including radioactive materials in a terrestrial environment. MOGRA consists of computational codes that are applicable to various evaluation target systems, and can be used on personal computers. The computational code has the dynamic compartment analysis block at its core, the graphical user interface (GUI) for computation parameter settings and results displays, data files and so on. The compartments are obtained by classifying various natural environments into groups that exhibit similar properties. MOGRA has varieties of databases, which consist of radionuclides decay chart, distribution coefficients between solid and liquid, transfer factors from soil to plant, transfer coefficients from feed to beef and milk, concentration factors, and age dependent dose conversion factors for many radionuclides. Here the status of development of MOGRA is presented.

Application of MOGRA for migration of contaminants through different land utilization areas

Amano, Hikaru; Takahashi, Tomoyuki*; Uchida, Shigeo*; Matsuoka, Shungo*; Ikeda, Hiroshi*; Hayashi, Hiroko*; Kurosawa, Naohiro*

JAERI-Conf 2003-010, p.112 - 121, 2003/09

The functionality of MOGRA is being verified by applying it in the analyses of the migration rates of radioactive substances from the atmosphere to soils and plants and flow rates into the rivers. This has been achieved by also taking their mode classifications into consideration. In this report, a hypothetical combination of land usage was supposed to check the function of MOGRA. The land usage was consisted from cultivated lands, forests, uncultivated lands, urban area, river, and lake. Each land usage has its own inside model which is basic module. Also supposed was homogeneous contamination of the surface land from atmospheric deposition of Cs-137 (1.0 Bq/m$$^{2}$$). The system can analyze the dynamic changes of Cs-137 concentrations in each compartment, fluxes from one compartment to another compartment.

JAERI-Conf 2003-010, p.25 - 31, 2003/09

In the 3rd Stage Crossover Research (1998 to 2003), a project on Development of a dynamic transfer model of radionuclides in the soil ecosphere,is currently being promoted. The following five researches are carried out in this project. 1) Research into the forms of existence of nuclides and their change in the soil (NIRS and JAERI), 2) Research into the transition behavior of radionuclides in plants (IES, RIKEN and NIRS), 3) Research into the relation to the microorganism and on environmental remediation (RIKEN, JAERI and NIRS), 4) Research on the migration of radionuclides from atmosphere to soil and plant (MRI and JAERI), and 5) Database construction on transfer parameters (JAERI, NIRS and MRI). JAERI, MRI and NIRS are working on the development of a dynamic transfer model such as MOGRA for radionuclides on the basis of a gained knowledge about the environmental behavior through cooperation with universities, etc. This model is also capable of the predicting the behavior of materials that are harmful to the environment such as hazardous heavy metals discharged in the soil ecosphere. In this presentation, we will overview the ourcome of the 3rd stage research.

To select and to presume the parameters adaptable to biosphere assessment of geological disposal at an actual environment, the procedure of updating a database using the domestic biosphere data was developed and was tried to a part of element-specific parameters. As a result, we were able to set the reliable biosphere parameters, by arranging important background information to secure the reliability of the parameter.
