First measurement of $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio in Japanese soil before the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station

Shimada, Asako ; Xu, J.*; Tsukahara, Takehiko*; Nomura, Masao*; Takeda, Seiji ; Takahashi, Hiroaki*

Cesium-137 concentration in environmental soil samples near and inside Tokai-mura was exceeded site release standard, 0.1 Bq/g, because of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F). It is possibly to use the $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio to distinguish the $$^{137}$$Cs from the 1F and from decommissioned facility. However, radiocesium from global fallout is also contained in soil and it may be influenced on the $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio. There are no data of $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio before the 1F accident for soil samples collected in Japan. Therefore, $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio in soil samples collected in 2008 y at Tokai-mura was measured to be 2.61$$pm$$0.28 agreed with the result for sampled collected in USA.
