Description

Concentration and transfer factor of radiocesium, which was derived from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident, from soil to cut flowers was determined. Field experiment was performed in Gray Lowland soil located in Fukushima Prefecture from May to October of 2011 and seven species of plants, gypsophila paniculata, sunflower, chrysanthemum, gentian, lily, dahlia and eustoma, were cultivated. Concentration of radiocesium (134+137Cs) in the soil was 1800 - 4400 Bq kg-1 and the range of the transfer factor in the plants was 0.008-0.066, which was within one order of magnitude. (author)
