| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The long-term safety assessment of spent Cs adsorbents produced during the decontamination of radiocesium-containing water at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant requires one to estimate their Cs-135 content prior to final disposal. Cs-135 is usually quantified by ICP-MS, which necessitates the elution of Cs from Cs adsorbents. However, this approach suffers from the high radiation dose from Cs-137. To address this challenge, we herein employed laser ablation ICP-MS for direct quantitation of Cs-135 in Cs adsorbents and used a model Cs adsorbent prepared by immersion of a commercially available Cs adsorbent into radiocesium-containing liquid waste to verify the developed technique. The use of the Cs-135 /Cs-137 ratio and Cs-137 radioactivity obtained by gamma spectrometry achieved simple and precise quantitation of Cs-135.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で提案するLA-ICP-MSを用いるCs-135定量法は、数mgの廃Cs吸着材中のCs-135 /Cs-137と、工程管理分析で定常的に得られるCs-137の放射能測定結果から、吸着塔に保管されたCs-135の総放射能量を知ることができる。また、原理も操作も単純であり、分析現場への導入障壁が小さい。したがって、本方法の適用により、作業者の負担や分析コストの大幅な低減を期待できる。
