This study conducted an investigation of trace element behavior at a former uranium (U) mining site and evaluated environmental impacts to biota. Concentrations of trace elements were determined in sediments, water, and three organism types (insects, frogs, and newts) from three zones in the former U mining site. Concentrations of As and U in the sediments and water samples were the highest at the mill tailings pond site, where post-U extraction remnants have been accumulated. Additionally, among the organisms analyzed the highest levels of these elements/isotopes were found in newts from MP. Considering data analyses of the whole-body element concentrations, bioaccumulation factors, and $$delta$$$$^{15}$$N values for the organisms, it was concluded that newts might be the most vulnerable species in this location. Further monitoring and more accurate evaluation of the ecological impacts are preferred for this former U mining site.

Investigation on distribution of radioactive substances in Fukushima, 9; Analysis of temporal changes in ambient dose equivalent rates in forests over 6 years following the FDNPP accident

We analyzed changes in ambient dose equivalent rates ($textit{.{H}}$*(10)) between 2011 and 2017 in forests in Fukushima Prefecture. PHITS was used to calculate the effects of changes in the distribution of $textsuperscript{134}$Cs and $textsuperscript{137}$Cs within forests on $textit{.{H}}$*(10). The transfer of radiocesium from the crowns of evergreen coniferous trees to the forest floor appeared to cause slower decreases in $textit{.{H}}$*(10) at 1 m height in early years than expected by the rate of $textsuperscript{134}$Cs and $textsuperscript{137}$Cs decay.
