- Title: Depth distribution of 137Cs, 134Cs, and 131I in soil profile after Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident
Author: Kato, Hiroaki / Onda, Yuichi / Teramage, Mengistu Reference: Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 111, p.59-64, Sep 2012 doi: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2011.10.003
Keywords: Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident; 137Cs; 134Cs; 131I; Depth distribution; Soil profile.
Abstract: Soil, vegetation and other ecological compartments are expected to be highly contaminated by the deposited radionuclides after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident triggered by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and the resulting tsunami on 11 March 2011. However, there is no field measurement data on the depth distributions of radiocaesium and 131I concentrations in soil profile.

- Title: Effects of long-term chronic exposure to radionuclides in plant populations
Author: Geras’kin, S. / Evseeva, T. / Oudalova, A. Reference: Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, In Press, Corrected Proof, Apr 2012 doi: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2012.03.007
Keywords: Radioactive contamination; Chronic exposure; Plant populations; Reproductive ability; Population genetic structure; Radio-adaptation
Abstract: The results of field studies carried out on different plant species (winter rye and wheat, spring barley, oats, Scots pine, wild vetch, crested hairgrass) in various radioecological situations (nuclear weapon testing, the Chernobyl accident, uranium and radium processing) to investigate the effects of long-term chronic exposure to radionuclides are discussed.

- Title: Chernobyl radiocaesium in an upland sheep farm ecosystem
Author: Howard, B.J. / Beresford, N.A.
Reference: British Veterinary Journal, 145 (3), p.212-219, May 1989
doi: 10.1016/0007-1935(89)90073-0
Keywords:
Abstract: Following the deposition of radiocaesium from the Chernobyl accident the movement and slaughter of sheep in upland areas of west Cumbria, Scotland and Wales was restricted. Studies on the radioecology of Cs-137 and Cs-134 have been conducted at a farm within the affected area of west Cumbria since July 1986. The radiocaesium activity of upland sheep was found to decline when they were brought on to the farms’ enclosed pastures and rise when they were returned to the open fell, where the radiocaesium content of vegetation has remained higher than on the pastures.

- Title: Long-term study on the transfer of 137Cs and 90Sr from Chernobyl-contaminated soils to grain crops
Author: Krouglov, S.V. / Filipas, A.S. / Alexakhin, R.M. / Arkhipov, N.P.
Reference: Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 34 (3), p.267-286, Jan 1997
doi: 10.1016/0265-931X(96)00043-4
Keywords:
Abstract: The level of 137Cs and 90Sr transfer to four grain crops and the change in transfer with time have been studied on two soils contaminated with fragments of nuclear fuel released during the Chernobyl accident. Field experiments were carried out in 1987–1994 inside the heavily contaminated zone around Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
