Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Agricultural soil contaminated with radioactive cesium was decontaminated by an extraction method with aqueous potassium solutions. Results demonstrated that the potassium solutions could extract radioactive cesium from soil artificially contaminated with Cs-137. However, the extraction rate decreased as time passed after the soil was contaminated. The effects on concentrations of trace elements in leaves of rice plants and on the transfer factor of radioactive cesium derived from nuclear power plant accident from paddy soil to rice by addition of stable isotopes of cesium and rubidium were also examined. The transfer factors of radioactive cesium for the brown rice cultivated with the water in which stable cesium had been added were much larger than those for cultivated with water in which nothing had been added. This implies that the stable cesium ions added were replaced with radioactive cesium ones in soil.
