[en] In the scope of the Coordinated Research Project (CRP) D15019 on “Remediation of Radioactive Contaminated Agricultural Land”, collaborators from the Hokkaido University, the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, and Kyoto Prefectural University in Japan published their research findings on how to estimate plant radioactivity using soil exchangeable 137 Cs in The Science of the Total Environment (https://doi. org/10.1016/j. scitotenv. 2022.159208), titled “The ratio of plant 137 Cs to exchangeable 137 Cs in soil is a crucial factor in explaining the variation in 137 Cs transferability from soil to plant”. To mitigate the radioactive cesium transfer from soil to plant after a nuclear accident, the use of transfer factors (TF: radioactivity of plant/radioactivity of soil) has been widely accepted. However, in 2012–one year after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident–the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries modified this approach. Only TF alone was considered not to be enough to predict the radioactivity in the plant. The same year, as exchangeable potassium (Kex.) level was found to play an important role in regulating TF (Kato et al., 2015), it was decided to apply significant amounts of potassium fertilizer to the contaminated agricultural fields. Its impact was positive, and the ratio of the bags of brown rice exceeding the standard limit (100 Bq kg-1) as compared to the total number of investigated bags decreased from 1.5% in 2011 to 0.0007% in 2012. However, based on a large survey of the relationship between K ex. and the TF of rice (Yamamura et al., 2018), there was a clear difference among soils. TF was found to be generally higher in Hama-dori (located in the eastern region of Fukushima prefecture, where most of the highly contaminated area is located) than in Naka-dori (in the middle of Fukushima prefecture).
