Large amounts of several radionuclides were released into the atmosphere from the
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (F-1NPP) in March 2011 and the ensuing months …

Changes in 137Cs export over time following clearcutting were investigated in a Japanese
forested catchment affected by the Fukushima nuclear accident. A total of 13% of the …

A massive amount of radioactive substances, including cesium-137 (137Cs), emitted from
the disabled nuclear power plant has deposited on the forested areas in the northeastern …

Radioactive cesium (137Cs) in distinct soil fractions provides key information to its
bioavailability, and therefore determining the effect of soil characteristics and land use types …

The use of 137Cs has recently been adopted to estimate erosion in hinoki plantations in
Japan. However, there have been several reports of the upward mobilization of 137Cs in …

The fate of 137Cs derived from the Fukushima nuclear accident fallout and associated
radiological hazards are largely dependent on its mobility in the surface soils of forest …

Based on the compartment and exponential models, the distribution of Fukushima-derived
137 Cs was evaluated at four sampling dates in undisturbed coniferous forest soil. The …

Since Fukushima accident, dozens of field studies have been conducted in order to quantify
and understand the behaviour of atmospheric radiocesium (137 Cs) fallouts in contaminated …

We investigated the deposition and depth distributions of radiocesium in the Takizawa
Research Forest, Iwate Prefecture, in order to understand the behavior of radionuclides …

The Fukushima accident dispersed significant amounts of radioactive cesium (Cs) in the
landscape. Our research investigated, from June 2011 to November 2013, the mobility of …
