Abstract

For analyzing the direct contamination pathway of radionudides in rice plants, a Solution containing $^{54}Mn,\;^{57}Co,\;^{85}Sr,\;^{103}Ru$ and $^{134}Cs$ was applied to the aboveground Parts of the between RI application and harvest. Its highest observed value was 0.94. The fractions of the initial plant deposition that remained in rice plants at harvest were in the range of $19{\sim}47%,\;17{\sim}43%,\;19{\sim}42%,\;23{\sim}61%$ and $11{\sim}69%$ for $^{54}Mn,\;^{57}Co,\;^{85}Sr,\;^{103}Ru$ and $^{134}Cs$, respectively, when no decay was assumed. The translocation factors of those radionuclides in hulled seeds were in the range of $6.9{\times}10^{-4}3.8{\times}10^{-2},\;3.6{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}1.6{\times}10^{-1},\;5.8{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}3.2{\sim}10^{-2},\;1.6{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}7.6{\times}10^{-3}$ and $3.2{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}2.0{\times}10^{-1}$, respertively, and were highest when they were applied at the stage of active seed development. It was indicated that the remaining percentage and translocation factor would not be greatly affected by the difference in the rain frequency if it is within a factor of 2. These results can be utilzed for predicting the radionuclide concentrations in rice seeds when an accidental deposition of those radionuclides occurs during the rice-growing season.

벼의 방사성 핵종 직접오염 경로를 분석하기 위하여 동위원소 실험온실내에서 $^{54}Mn,\;^{57}Co,\;^{85}Sr,\;^{134}Cs$의 혼합용액을 벼의 생육중 여섯 차례에 걸쳐 작물체 지상부에 처리하였다. 작물체 차단계수는 핵종 간에 차이가 없었고 처리시기가 수확기에 가까울수록 증가하여 최고 약 0.94에 달리하였다. 작물계에 침적한 각 핵종의 수확시 잔류율은 방사능 붕괴가 없다고 가정할 예 처리시기에 따라 각각 $19{\sim}47%,\;17{\sim}43%,\;19{\sim}42%,\;23{\sim}61%,\;11{\sim}69%$였다. 종실 전류계수는 처리시기에 따라 각각 $6.9{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}3.8{\times}10^{-2},\;3.6{\times}10^{-3},\;1.6{\times}10^{-1}{\sim}5.8{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}3.2{\times}10^{-2},\;1.6{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}7.6{\times}10^{-5},\;3.2{\sim}10^{-2}{\sim}2.0{\times}10^{-1}$의 범위였고 모두 종실의 발육성기 처리시 가장 높았다. 강우 빈도의 차이가 2배 이내일 때는 강우빈도가 잔류율과 전류계수에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 벼의 생육중 사고침적시 쌀알 내 핵종농도 예측에 활용될 수 있다.
