摘要
We investigated the vertical distribution of the soil-soil-solution distribution coefficients (K-d) of I-125, Cs-137, and Sr-85 in organic-rich surface soil and organic-poor subsurface soil of a pasture and an urban forest near a spent-nuclear-fuel reprocessing plant in Rokkasho, Japan. K-d of Cs-137 was highly correlated with water-extractable K+. K-d of Sr-85 was highly correlated with water-extractable Ca2+ and SOC. K-d of I-125(-) was low in organic-rich surface soil, high slightly below the surface, and lowest in the deepest soil. This kinked distribution pattern differed from the gradual decrease of the other radionuclides. The thickness of the high-I-125-K-d middle layer (i.e., with high radioiodide retention ability) differed between sites. K-d of I-125(-) was significantly correlated with K-d of soil organic carbon. Our results also showed that the layer thickness is controlled by the ratio of K-d-OC between surface and subsurface soils. This finding suggests that the addition of SOC might prevent further radioiodide migration down the soil profile. As far as we know, this is the first report to show a strong correlation of a soil characteristic with Kd of I-125(-). Further study is needed to clarify how radioiodide is retained and migrates in soil. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
