Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of potassium and cesium carrier on the uptake of radionuclide $Cs^{137}$ which is an element released usually from nuclear facilities, by paddy rice upon prolonged cropping of contaminated soils. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Visual toxic symptoms on the growth of rice plant due to treatment of radioactive cesium were not observed up to $20 {\mu}Ci/10Kg$ soil in a pot. 2) The yield and potassium content in rice plant were increased with potassium application, while the reverse was true for the calcium and magnesium. The addition of potassium to the soil markedly reduced $Cs^{137}$ uptake by rice plant but the addition of Cs carrier increased $Cs^{137}$ uptake. 3) Potassium and $Cs^{137}$ showed uniform distribution in all parts of plant and the contents of these two elements were high in the stems and leaves, and low in the heads. The ratio of $Cs^{137}$ to K was, however, not uniform in all parts of a plant. It was shown that this ratio was higher in the seed part, that is, chaff and hulled grain than in the leaves and stems. 4) $Cs^{137}$ absorption rate in rice plant was remarkably reduced with increase of potassium application and it was ranged from $0.02{\sim}0.47%$ in potassium non-treated plot to 0.01∼0.04% in plot treated with a concentration of 16Kg/10a. 5) The amount of $Cs^{137}$ and potassium uptake of rice plant depended on soil type. Uptake of $Cs^{137}$ by rice plant was higher in the soil with low pH and potassium content. The $Cs^{137}$ uptake by rice plant decreased as the potassium content and pH of soil was increased, but $Cs^{137}$ uptake increased when CEC and clay content in soil was high.
원자력시설(原子力施設)로부터 방출(放出)될 수 있는 방사성물질(放射性物質)의 하나인 $Cs^{137}$을 토양(土壤)에 처리하여 수도(水稻)에 의한 흡수(吸收)와 그 분포(分布)에 미치는 가리비료(加里肥料)와 Cs담체의 영향을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 1) 시험토양(試驗土壤) 10㎏에 20 ${\mu}$Ci수준(水準)까지의 $Cs^{137}$처리에서도 수도생육(水稻生育)에 어떤 영향을 볼 수 없었다. 2) 가리(加里)첨가에 따라서 수도(水稻)의 수양(水稻)과 수도체내(水稻體內) K함양(含量)이 증가(增加)하였으나 Ca, Mg의 함양(含量)은 감소(減少)되었으며 수도(水稻)의 $Cs^{137}$흡수(吸收)도 크게 억제(抑制)되었으나 Cs담체첨가는 $Cs^{137}$흡수(吸收)를 증가(增加)시켰다. 3) 수도체내(水稻體內) K와 $Cs^{137}$의 부위별(部位別) 분포(分布)는 동일한 경향으로서 일반적으로 이들 두 원소의 함량은 줄기에서 가장 높았고 다음이 잎, 왕겨, 종실, 현미의 순서였다. 그러나 $Cs^{137}$/K의 함양비(含量比)는 수도체(水稻體) 각 부위(部位)에서 일정치 않았으며 현미와 왕겨등의 종실에서 높았고, 잎과 줄기에서 더 낮았다. 4) 수도(水稻)의 $Cs^{137}$흡수률(吸收率)은 K첨가 증가에 따라서 크게 감소(減少)되었는데 K무첨가구에서는 $0.02{\sim}0.47%$ 범위있고 최고첨가구 (16 ㎏/10a)에서는 $0.01{\sim}0.04%$ 범위였다. 또한 담체첨가구에서의 흡수률(吸收率)은 $0.03{\sim}0.23%$였고 담체무첨가구에서는 $0.01{\sim}0.10%$범위였다. 5) 재배토양(栽培土壤)의 pH와 치환성(置換性) K가 낮은 토양(土壤)에서 수도(水稻)의 $Cs^{137}$흡수(吸收)가 높았으며, 토양(土壤) pH와 치환성(置換性) K가 증가(增加)됨에 따라 흡수(吸收)는 감소(減少)되었고 토양(土壤)의 양(陽)이온 치환능(置換能)과 점토함량이 높으면 수도(水稻)의 $Cs^{137}$흡수(吸收)도 증가되었다.
