Abstract

AbstractVegetables and field soils about 60 and 230 km away from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant were examined for 134Cs and 137Cs radioactivity. The total 134Cs and 137Cs transferred was <7 Bq/kg wet weight in potato tubers grown in fields where the total 134Cs and 137Cs concentration in the soil was ≤1,235 Bq/kg dry weight. For the edible parts of lettuce and cabbage, the total 134Cs and 137Cs concentrations were lower than the detection limit. In this case, the maximum value in soil was 651.2 Bq/kg dry weight.KeywordsCabbageCesium-134Cesium-137LettuceLow levelPotassium-40PotatoSoil
