AB - Most of the radioactive cesium (134Cs and 137Cs), which originated from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, has remained in the soil and on plants as water-insoluble microparticles
(termed as CsMPs) and maintained relatively high radioactivity levels in the district. However, it has been
reported that the radioactive Cs has been absorbed by plants. To interpret this phenomenon, the authors
investigated CsMPs to determine if they become soluble during filtration and dialysis experiments.
Moreover, other physical properties, such as mechanical properties and thermal stability, were observed
during the course of the relevant experiments. These properties can be obtained by using carbonized
charcoal litter with CsMPs.
