This study shows approximately three years observation results of plot-scale Cs-137 wash-off at various land uses in Kawamata town after the accident of FDNPP. Soil erosion rate were positively correlated with vegetation cover on undisturbed soils, whereas high erosion rate were found on cultivated farmlands even with similar vegetation cover to uncultivated farmlands. Annual Cs-137 wash-off rate ranged from 0.003 to 9.3 %/year and the largest was from uncultivated farmland followed by cultivated farmlands. Decreasing trends of Cs-137 concentration were found on uncultivated farmlands, whereas no trend was found on other plots. Our results suggest that the active soil erosion results in decrease in Cs-137 concentration of sediments on uncultivated slopes, while cultivation resulted in the no trend of temporal decrease in Cs-137 concentration due to constant vertical distribution of Cs-137.
