Transfer of 131I from Fukushima to the Vegetation and Milk in France

Abstract: Iodine-131 and various other radionuclides were released into the atmosphere from the damaged Japanese reactors of Fukushima Dai-ichi from 12 to 22 March 2011. The contaminated air mass was detected in France after 24 March; samples of grass, vegetables, and milk have been analyzed for (131)I by the IRSN, considering the fact that few values of iodine-131 transfer parameters have been directly measured in situ, due to the radioactive decay of this isotope. Data are compared with calculated values according to … Show more

“…Iodine-131 was measured in the milk of dairy animals in France (IRSN, 2011;Parache et al, 2011) with maximum activity concentrations (up to c. 3 Bq L À1 ) observed in sheep and goat milk. Concentrations of 131 I in cow milk were generally below 0.5 Bq L À1 .…”

“…Dans le lait et la végétation, la phase de dépôt de la radioactivité est à l'origine de l'augmentation de l'activité observée (Parache et al, 2011). Puis, dans un deuxième temps, l'arrêt du dépôt et la croissance des végétaux (particulièrement marquée au printemps) sont la cause de la diminution rapide de l'activité en radiocésium des végétaux et du lait.…”

“…The Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents led to radioactive contamination in many regions through transport and deposition of radionuclides (Chesser et al, 2004;Ooe et al, 1988;P€ oll€ anen et al, 1997;Parache et al, 2011). Some areas may be contaminated for a long period of time due to the presence of long-lived radionuclides [e.g., 137 Cs (Yoshenko et al, 2006a(Yoshenko et al, , 2006b].…”
