被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：66.12(Chemistry, Analytical)Radiocesium-bearing microparticles (CsMPs) were released from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant during the 2011 accident. We examined the CsMP formation process by analyzing Type-A particles and conducting in situ glass fiber experiments. The results demonstrated that heating glass fibers to 450
C - 800C formed spherical particles, their morphologies and elemental compositions were similar to those of actual CsMPs. The mock-up particles size was strongly dependent on the glass-fiber thickness. Our findings reveal that glass fibers can form microparticles after being exposed to high temperatures.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：71.98(Chemistry, Analytical)Radiocesium-bearing microparticles (CsMPs) from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) are observed in Eastern Japan. To examine their source and formation, multiple particles were isolated from soils from three sites around the FDNPP and their radioactivity, morphology, and elemental composition were analyzed. Cesium-137 radioactivity ranged from 0.23 to 8.57 Bq and particles were primarily composed of Si, Fe, Zn, C, and Cs at each site. Uranium-rich parts in certain CsMPs show their origin in the vicinity of the nuclear reactor. Our results will help characterize CsMPs and evaluate the internal dose exposure of personnel employed at the FDNPP
