| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant resulted in a substantial release of radionuclides including Iodine-131, Cesium-134, and Cesium-137 to the atmosphere, and caused significant contamination of the environment. An effective dose estimation of released I-131 is important but difficult due to lack of data on the deposition of I-131. The long-lived radioiodine isotope I-129 is one of the important radionuclides released from nuclear fuel reprocessing plants and nuclear accidents into the environment. In particular, I-129 has been used as a tool to reconstruct the initial distribution of I-131 at nuclear accidents. In this study, the determination of I-129 in enviromental samples by ICP-MS/MS was performed, and the distribution of radioactive iodine released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident was examined.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
福島第一原子力発電所の事故により、大量の放射性ヨウ素（I-131）が放出された。I-131は体内に入ると甲状腺がんのリスク要因となるため、環境中に含まれるI-131に関する情報は重要である。しかし、事故後数ヶ月でI-131の放射能を調べることは困難となったため、本研究では、事故により同様に放出された長半減期放射性ヨウ素（I-129）を用いてI-131を推定する迅速分析法を開発した。本研究で開発したICP-MS/MS法を用いた分析法は従来法に比べ１０倍以上迅速に測定することが可能になった。
