Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:43.3(Geochemistry & Geophysics)We analyzed riverbed sediments collected at two sites, Yamakiya and Kuroiwa, in Fukushima after the Fukushima accident. The size distributions of K, Rb, and Csreflected the mineralogy of sediments, where primary host minerals for these alkali elements would be biotite, K-feldspar, and clay minerals. Silt-size fractions contained high Cs and Cs concentrations possibly due to adsorption on clay minerals. Their concentrations decreased with particle size at the Yamakiya site. In contrast, coarse and very coarse sand fractions from the Kuroiwa site showed higher Cs and Cs concentrations in comparison to fine - medium sand fractions. The coarse sand fractions contained many weathered biotite grains. Overall, the size distributions of Cs and Cs were similar in the sediments, suggesting that the Fukushima-derived radiocesium was distributed into each particle size fraction in response to the distribution of the stable Cs that was controlled by mineralogical composition.

Times Cited Count:28 Percentile:67.08(Multidisciplinary Sciences)We focused on factors controlling partition of radiocesium on particulate matters and sediments in rivers of Fukushima and Chernobyl. Radiocesium is more soluble in the Pripyat River (Chernobyl) due to weaker interaction of radiocesium with clay minerals caused by the inhibition effect of the adsorbed humic substances. In contrast, particulate matters and sediments in the Kuchibuto River (Fukushima) display high adsorption affinity with lesser inhibition effect of adsorbed humic substances. This difference is possibly governed by the geology and soil type of provenances surrounding both catchments.

Most of FDNPP-derived radiocesium in the aerosols was water-soluble. However, little amount of radiocesium in soils was leached with water. Such soluble fraction of radiocesium was strongly fixed on soil particles after deposition on the ground. This strong fixation of radiocesium can be explained by formation of inner-sphere complex in clay minerals, which was confirmed by EXAFS analysis. Many spots showing strong radioactivity were also found on the surface of soil. This indicates that the fallout radiocesium was heterogeneously distributed on the ground in a micro-scale. Most of radiocesium in river suspended particles was particulate form, and micro-scale distribution was not homogeneous, reflecting the heterogeneity of radiocesium in soil. Dissolution of radiocesium in the aerosols and subsequent strong adsorption onto soil particles are responsible for the preservation of the heterogeneous distribution of radiocesium in the environment.
