Radioactively contaminated soil from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station accident
in 2011 is required by law to be finally disposed of outside Fukushima Prefecture by 2045 …

The air dose rate in an environment contaminated with 134 Cs and 137 Cs depends on the
amount, depth profile and horizontal distribution of these contaminants within the ground …

Abstract During the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) accident, radioactive
cesium was released in the environment and deposited on the soils. Depth profiles of …

Temporal variations in ambient dose rates in a restricted area designated as “difficult-to-
return” for residents of Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture were evaluated in a car-borne …

To examine the degree of 137Cs wash-off from forest floor, we monitored the amount of
particulate and dissolved 137Cs in surface runoff water from three m2 of experimental plots …

Abstract The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident resulted in
extensive radioactive contamination of the environment via deposited radionuclides such as …

ABSTRACT On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake struck the eastern region of Japan,
causing widespread devastation. Since then, agricultural engineers throughout Japan have …

In order to simulate the long-term migration and distribution of radiocesium after the
Fukushima accident, a numerical model, Soil and Cesium Transport (SACT) based on …

Because internal transfers can play a key role in radiocaesium persistence in trees, a
reliable representation of radiocaesium recycling between tree organs in forest models is …

Paddy soil freezes during winter in Iitate village. The frozen soil is as hard as asphalt, and
