福島第一原子力発電所事故由来で降下した放射性Csの化学状態を抽出及び分級により調べた。抽出後に残った放射性Csは、水批により分級された画分よりも大きな雲母鉱物がほとんどない画分に70%以上が存在した。この結果は、雲母鉱物以外の土壌構成物が放射性Csを強く保持している可能性を示している。

Chemical states of radioactive Cs in the contaminated soils by Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident has been characterized by the desorption experiments using appropriate reagents solutions and size fractionation of the contaminated soils. Approximately 70% of radioactive Cs in the residual fraction were associated with the size fractions larger than the elutriated one, even though mica-like minerals were contained in the elutriated one. These results strongly suggest that radioactive Cs was irreversibly associated with soil components other than mica like minerals in the contaminated soil.
