[HTML][HTML] Reactor environment during the Fukushima nuclear accident inferred from radiocaesium-bearing microparticles
Abstract Radiocaesium-bearing microparticles (CsMPs), which are substantially silicate
glass, were formed inside the damaged reactor and released to the environment by the
Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011. The present study reports
several valuable findings regarding their composition and structure using advanced
microanalytical techniques. X-ray absorption near-edge structure of Fe L3-absorption
indicated that the oxidation state of the iron dissolved in the glass matrix of the CsMPs was …
