被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：56.59(Environmental Sciences)本研究は、福島の主に常緑針葉樹林内における放射性セシウムの移行について、複数の研究チームによるモデルを用いた解析を行い、比較を行うことで、モデルのパフォーマンスを分析したものである。また、落葉層の除去と樹木更新の2つの管理シナリオ、および落葉広葉樹林を対象とした補助シナリオについても比較、分析した。いずれのモデルも実測の放射性セシウム濃度の変化傾向などを再現できたが、事故から50年後の予測についてはばらつきが大きく、継続した調査、解析による評価が必要である。

Cs and 
Cs in forests and ambient dose equivalent rates (
*(10)) in the air is important for researching forests in eastern Japan affected by the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident. This study used a large number of measurements from forest samples, including Cs and Cs radioactivity concentrations, densities and moisture contents, to perform Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations for *(10) between 2011 and 2017. Calculated *(10) at 0.1 and 1 m above the ground had mean residual errors of 19% and 16%, respectively, from measurements taken with handheld NaI(Tl) scintillator survey meters. Setting aside the contributions from natural background radiation, Cs and Cs in the organic layer and the top 5 cm of forest soil generally made the largest contributions to calculated *(10). The contributions from Cs and Cs in the forest canopy were calculated to be largest in the first two years following the accident. Uncertainties were evaluated in the simulation results due to the measurement uncertainties in the model inputs by assuming Gaussian measurement errors. The mean uncertainty (relative standard deviation) of the simulated *(10) at 1 m height was 11%. The main contributors to the total uncertainty in the simulation results were the accuracies to which the Cs and Cs radioactivities of the organic layer and top 5 cm of soil, and the vertical distribution of Cs and Cs within the 5 cm soil layers, were known. Radioactive cesium located in the top 5 cm of soil was the main contributor to *(10) at 1 m by 2016 or 2017 in the calculation results for all sites.

PHITS Monte Carlo models were used to assess factors affecting ambient dose equivalent rates (H*(10)) in forests in Fukushima Prefecture. Three models were developed with different levels of detail to understand how the distribution of radioactive cesium within forests, shielding by trees and soil composition affect H*(10). The models were parametrized using measurements from deciduous and coniferous forests in Fukushima Prefecture.

2011年から2017年までの福島県の森林内における周辺線量当量率(*(10))の計時変化を解析した。PHITSを用いて、森林内でのCsとCsの分布の経時変化が*(10)に与える影響を計算した。常緑針葉樹の樹冠から林床への放射性セシウムの移行は、事故後の早い時期には、CsとCsの放射崩壊率によって予想されるよりも1m高さの*(10)の減少を遅くするようであった。

About 72
of the Cs and Cs fallout in Fukushima Prefecture from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) deposited on forests. Future choices for the management of contaminated forests depend on estimates of radiation doses to workers and residents under different management scenarios. This talk describes research conducted with PHITS to understand the factors necessary for creating appropriate models for calculating ambient dose equivalent rates (*(10)) in forests from inventories of s and Cs. The models herein were based measurements from FFPRI and JAEA surveys of forest sites in Fukushima and Ibaraki Prefectures. These surveys provided measurements of densities, dimensions, moisture contents and Cs and Cs inventories of crowns, trunks, organic layers and soil in the forests. Three geometry models were created for forests, varying from a simple model representing trees and the atmosphere as homogeneous layers of matter, to models with representations of individual tree trunks and crowns. A new PHITS function allows counter values to be set separately for source particles upon generation from each multi-source, meaning the contributions from radiation originating in different source regions to *(10) could be calculated easily. The counter function also allowed calculation of the contributions of scattered and unscattered photons to *(10) separately. Good correlation was obtained between simulated and measured *(10) values across nine sites for the 2011-17 period (Fig. 1). Despite the different levels of geometric detail, the results from all three geometry models were all within a few percent of each other. The elemental compositions chosen for materials had a negligible effect on the calculations.

森林でのCs-137の過去から将来にわたる動態を評価するためにモデリングアプローチを適用した。構造,プロセス,パラメータ,数値アプローチの異なる6つのモデルがモデル相互比較に参加し、予測と不確実性について分析した。適切なキャリブレーション後のモデル相互比較により、フォールアウト後初期に対して、モデルは実測データを信頼ある範囲で再現することが確認された。一方、50年後の長期予測では大きな相違が示された。本モデル相互比較は、将来予測のためのモデルを改善するために、様々な森林タイプに対して10年オーダーのデータ、および総合的で長期のデータを用いた検証の繰り返しが重要であることを示した。
