“…Tillage, deep‐ploughing, and skim and burial ploughing were applied both in the Chernobyl region (Maubert et al ) and in the Fukushima affected areas. Tillage resulted in 2‐ to 4‐fold reductions in Cs transfer factors in the first year after the Chernobyl accident, whereas skim and burial ploughing resulted in 8‐ to 16‐fold reductions.…”

The options adopted for recovery of agricultural land after the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents are compared by examining their technical and socio-economic aspects. The analysis highlights commonalities such as the implementation of tillage and other types of countermeasures and differences in approach, such as preferences for topsoil removal in Fukushima and the application of K fertilizers in Chernobyl. This analysis shows that the recovery approach needs to be context-specific to best suit the physical, social, and political environment. The complex nature of the decision problem calls for a formal process for engaging stakeholders and the development of adequate decision support tools.

“…Liming may decrease Cs transfer by a factor of 2 and the addition of aluminosilicates by a factor up to 2 (Nisbet et al 1993) or up to 10 (Vandenhove et al 2003). Plowing (shallow plow, deep plow, and skim and burial plowing) may reduce doses by up to 80 to 95% (Maubert et al 1993) but may affect soil fertility and integrity and is not applicable on stony or sloped soils.…”

The recent events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, in Japan, have raised questions about the accumulation of radionuclides in soils, the transfer in the food chain, and the possibility for restricted land use in the foreseeable future. This article summarizes what is generally understood about the application of agricultural countermeasures as a land management option to reduce the transfer of radionuclides in the food chain and to facilitate the return of potentially affected soils to agricultural practices in the vicinity of the Fukushima plant.

After a nuclear accident leading to an important radionuclide deposition, the responsible authorities are faced to the question of complying with intervention levels. These regulations may be expressed as mass activities in foodstuffs, or individual doses for the populations. A situation of acute caesium 137 contamination of the environment was played in 1993 during a French and Russian joint crisis exercise. In answering the questions from the administration, the experts examined the conditions allowing agricultural practices 1) according to a set of intervention levels in foodstuffs, and 2) how that was compatible with a recommendation relative to an individual dose for the populations of 1 mSv/y, although this limit is applicable in normal conditions and is not intended for post-accidental situations.
