The information on the absorbed dose rate which is derived from natural radionuclides needs to evaluate additional exposure dose around Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. However, there are not enough position resolution and precision for data for this evaluation. In this study, we created the map of the absorbed dose rate which is derived from natural radionuclides based on several airborne radiation monitoring data. The created map was made sure to have sufficient reliable accuracy by comparing with the many in-situ measurement on the ground. These data were applied to discriminate the absorbed dose rate of background from an actual periodic dose rate survey results as an application study. Evaluation results for the distribution of absorbed dose rate of background are expected to contribute to the summarization of international studies of the FDNPS accident.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：100(Environmental Sciences)This study provides new insights regarding to the long-term temporal change and the mass balance of dissolved 
Cs in an artificial reservoir affected by the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Time-series water samples were collected from 2014 to 2019 for Cs concentration measurements in and around Ogaki Dam Reservoir in which the catchment has a high Cs inventory. We revealed that the arithmetic mean of dissolved Cs concentration was significantly higher in the output water than in the main input water, and the effective ecological half-live of dissolved Cs of the output water was longer than that in the main input water. Remarkably, it is considered that the output dissolved Cs was significantly larger than the total input dissolved Cs. Reservoir sediments containing high Cs activity may become even more important in the future as sources of bioavailable dissolved Cs.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：100(Chemistry, Analytical)Plastic scintillation fibers (PSF) have been instrumental to in-situ surface surveys of radiocesium distribution post Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Their deployment to monitoring bottom sediments in aquatic environments provides the spatial extent of radiocesium distribution over wide areas compared to discrete points as provided traditionally by sediment sampling. This study monitored five ponds in Fukushima using PSF between 2013 and 2018 and estimated ecological half-life of radiocesium in those ponds. A forest-catchment pond had a relatively long ecological half-life, while the other ponds showed shorter half-lives. The longer half-lives draw attention to possible catchment-derived radiocesium inputs, which for the forest-pond was partly evident from spatial-temporal trends of PSF-based radiation maps.
