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 …

Abstract As well known, High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors have a wide range of
applications in every area where radiation detection and measurements are involved. One …

Abstract The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident caused serious radiocesium
(137Cs) contamination of the soil in multiple terrestrial ecosystems. Soil is a complex system …

The accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011 released a large
quantity of radiocesium into the surrounding environment. Radiocesium concentrations in …

This study investigated the temporal change in vertical distributions of radiocesium
inventories in Japanese forest soils during the early phase (from 2011 to 2017) following the …

Understanding the fate of the vertical distribution of radiocesium (137 Cs) in Japanese forest
soils is key to assessing the radioecological consequences of the Fukushima Daiichi …

Plastics are one of the ubiquitous and artificial types of substrates for microbial colonization
and biofilm development in the aquatic environment. Characterizing plastic-associated …

In forests affected by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, trees became
contaminated with 137 Cs. However, 137 Cs transfer processes determining tree …

In forest ecosystems, forest litter is considered an active medium for radiocesium (137 Cs).
To understand discharge mechanisms of highly bioavailable dissolved 137 Cs from forests …

The vertical distribution of 137 Cs in forest soil is important for predicting air dose rates and
future cycling in forest ecosystems. However, there are many unexplained questions about …
