Radioactive Cs in the severely contaminated soils near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant

Radioactive Cs isotopes (137Cs, t1/2 = 30.07 y and 134Cs, t1/2 = 2.062 y) occur in severely contaminated soils within a few km of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant at concentrations that range from 4×10^5 to 5×10^7 Bq/kg. In order to understand the mobility of Cs in these soils, both bulk...
