Radioactive particles were released into the environment during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident. Many studies have been conducted to elucidate the chemical composition of released radioactive particles in order to understand their formation process. However, whether radioactive particles contain nuclear fuel radionuclides remains to be investigated. Here, we report the first determination of Pu isotopes in radioactive particles. To determine the Pu isotopes ($$^{239}$$Pu, $$^{240}$$Pu and $$^{241}$$Pu) in radioactive particles derived from the FDNPP accident which were free from the influence of global fallout, radiochemical analysis and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry measurements were conducted. Radioactive particles derived from unit 1 and unit 2 or 3 were analyzed. For the radioactive particles derived from unit 1, activities of $$^{239+240}$$Pu and $$^{241}$$Pu were (1.70-7.06)$$times$$10$$^{-5}$$ Bq and (4.10-8.10)$$times$$10$$^{-3}$$ Bq, respectively and atom ratios of $$^{240}$$Pu/$$^{239}$$Pu and $$^{241}$$Pu/$$^{239}$$Pu were 0.330-0.415 and 0.162-0.178, respectively. These ratios were consistent with the simulation results from ORIGEN code and measurements from various environmental samples. In contrast, Pu was not detected in the radioactive particles derived from unit 2 or 3. The difference in Pu contents is clear evidence towards different formation processes of radioactive particles, and detailed formation processes can be investigated from Pu analysis.

Irradiation of ${it Arabidopsis thaliana}$ by carbon ions was carried out to investigate the mutational effect of ion particles in higher plants. Frequencies of embryonic lethals and chlorophyll deficient mutants were found to be significantly higher after carbon ion-irradiation than after electron-irradiation (11-fold and 7.8-fold per unit dose, respectively). During the isolation of mutants, two new classes of flavonoid mutants (${it tt18, tt19}$) were isolated from carbon ion-mutagenized M2 plants. From PCR and sequence analysis, two of the three ${it tt18}$ mutant alleles were found to have a small deletion within the ${it LDOX}$ gene and the other was revealed to contain a rearrangement. Using the segregation rates, the mutation rate of carbon ions was estimated to be 17-fold higher than that of electrons. The isolation of novel mutants and the high mutation rate suggest that ion particles can be used as a valuable mutagen for plant genetics.

Plutonium is one of the most notable radionuclides in the nuclear accident. The amounts of Pu released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident were investigated so far. However, the existence of Pu isotopes from the global fallout makes it difficult to accurately assessment of Pu contamination by the FDNPP accident. To avoid this problem, identification of Pu contamination source from the Pu isotopic ratios is important. However, various ratios have been reported by the researches due to the contamination from global fallout. In this work, we focused on the insoluble radioactive Cs particles made of mainly SiO$$_{2}$$ (insoluble particles) released from the FDNPP to determine accurate Pu isotopic ratios. Due to its insolubility, the particles retained the original property at the time of emission from the reactor. Therefore, the insoluble particles are considered to be free from the contamination of global fallout. In addition, the amounts of Pu in the insoluble particles provide the information about their formation process in the reactor. In this study, we identified Pu isotopes in insoluble particles by radioactive analysis and ICP-MS measurement. The isotopic ratios of $$^{240}$$Pu/$$^{239}$$Pu and $$^{241}$$Pu/$$^{239}$$Pu were determined as 0.330-0.415 and 0.162-0.178, respectively and activity ratio of $$^{239+240}$$Pu/$$^{137}$$Cs was about 10$$^{-8}$$ in each particle.
