| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Highly radioactive cesium-rich microparticles (CsMPs) were released from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to the surrounding environments at the early stage of the nuclear disaster. These CsMPs should involve not only Cs, but also I. However, the characteristics of Cs and I in the CsMPs are still unknown. We analyzed characteristics of Cs and I in the simulated CsMPs. The simulated CsMPs are analyzed elemental compositions by SEM and chemical forms by XANES.
SEM analyses showed that many round particles of different diameters between ~2 micro-m and several tens micro-m are present in the simulated CsMP samples. EDX analyses indicate that simulated CsMP icontained Cs and I. XANES analyses indicated that the simulated CsMPs contain Cs possessing different chemical species from CsI, which is insoluble with deionized water. Almost all I are present as the chemical species of CsI in the simulated CsMP, and are dissolved with deionized water.

福島第一原子力発電所事故により生成した放射性Csを含むマイクロ粒子の生成機構を解明するため、Cs及びIを含むマイクロ粒子を実験により合成したことは初めての試みである。さらに、マイクロ粒子中のCs及びIの化学状態を明らかにした点は、放射性Cs及び放射性Iの環境中の挙動及び人体への被爆の評価に対しても重要である。
