A part of radiocesium emitted during the Fukushima nuclear accident was incorporated in glassy microparticles. We tried to understand the radioactive particles systematically by analyzing a large number of particles. Micro-X-ray computed tomography combined with X-ray fluorescence analysis revealed the presence of many voids and iron-rich part within Type-B particles. The $$^{137}$$Cs concentration (Bq mm$$^{-3}$$) of Type-A particles was $$sim$$10,000 times higher than that of Type-B particles. Among the Type-B particles, the spherical ones had higher concentration of volatile elements than the non-spherical ones. These differences suggested that Type-A particles were formed through gas condensation, whereas Type-B particles were formed through melt solidification.
