  • Concentrations of iodine-129 in coastal surface sediments around spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant at Rokkasho, Japan, during and after its test operation
    Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2019
    Co-Authors: Yuhi Satoh, Shinji Ueda, Hideki Kakiuchi, Yoshihito Ohtsuka, Shun'ichi Hisamatsu
    Abstract:

    Concentrations of 129I in coastal surface sediment samples from the east coast of Aomori, Japan, 2–65 km away from the wastewater outlet of the Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant at Rokkasho, Japan, were measured from 2006 to 2010. No clear effect on 129I/127I atom ratios in marine sediments was observed, although 129I was discharged from the plant, during its test operation using actual spent Fuel, mainly between 2006 and 2008. The ratio in sediments collected at a fishing port at the mouth of a brackish lake increased in 2007, showing that the 129I migrated from the lake to the port.

  • Inventory of 129 I in brackish lake sediments adjacent to a spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant in Japan
    Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2018
    Co-Authors: Shinji Ueda, Hideki Kakiuchi, Shun'ichi Hisamatsu
    Abstract:

    The 129I inventory in sediment of brackish lake, beside a Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant in Rokkasho, Japan, was clarified from 1997 to 2016. The 129I was discharged to the atmosphere and ocean during cutting and chemical processing the spent Fuel in the test operation from April 2006 to October 2008, although the plant is under final safety assessment as of May 2018. The 129I concentration and 129I/127I ratio in the surface sediment were 5–6 and 4–5 times higher than those in 1997, respectively. The 129I to a depth of 25 cm in the sediment increased until 2010–2012, then stabilized with accumulated state.

  • concentration of 129i in aquatic biota collected from a lake adjacent to the spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant in rokkasho japan
    Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2015
    Co-Authors: Shinji Ueda, Hideki Kakiuchi, Hidenao Hasegawa, Hidehisa Kawamura, Shun'ichi Hisamatsu
    Abstract:

    The spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant in Rokkasho, Japan, has been undergoing final testing since March 2006. During April 2006-October 2008, that spent Fuel was cut and chemically processed, the plant discharged (129)I into the atmosphere and coastal waters. To study (129)I behaviour in brackish Lake Obuchi, which is adjacent to the plant, (129)I concentrations in aquatic biota were measured by accelerator mass spectrometry. Owing to (129)I discharge from the plant, the (129)I concentration in the biota started to rise from the background concentration in 2006 and was high during 2007-08. The (129)I concentration has been rapidly decreasing after the Fuel cutting and chemically processing were finished. The (129)I concentration factors in the biota were higher than those reported by IAEA for marine organisms and similar to those reported for freshwater biota. The estimated annual committed effective dose due to ingestion of foods with the maximum (129)I concentration in the biota samples was 2.8 nSv y(-1).

  • Iodine-129 in water samples collected adjacent to a spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant in Rokkasho, Japan
    Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2014
    Co-Authors: Shinji Ueda, Hideki Kakiuchi, Hidenao Hasegawa, Naofumi Akata, Hidehisa Kawamura, Shun'ichi Hisamatsu
    Abstract:

    The spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant in Rokkasho, Japan, has been undergoing final testing since March 2006. The concentrations of 129I in environmental water samples collected around the Reprocessing plant were measured from 2005 to 2012. The 129I concentrations in water samples of the brackish lake adjacent to a plant from 2006 to 2008 which the spent Fuel rods were cut and chemically processed, was higher than the background level. The major source of 129I in the lake was dominated by the direct deposition of 129I from the atmosphere than that from the ocean.

  • Sources of dissolved I-129 in brackish lake water during and after the operation of a spent Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant
    Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2020
    Co-Authors: Yuhi Satoh, Shinji Ueda, Hideki Kakiuchi, Hasegawa Hidenao, Koichi Abe
    Abstract:

    The contribution of four sources (river water, seawater, atmospheric deposition, and dissolution from sediment) to the I-129 concentration in water of a brackish lake which is adjacent to a Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing plant in Northeast Japan was estimated using an observation dataset from 2006 to 2015, including the operation and non-operation terms of the plant (first three years: operation). The most major source of I-129 was the atmospheric deposition during and after the operation. However, the dissolution of sediment also became the significant source after the operation in summer because of the anoxic condition at the bottom of the lake.
