Chapter 4 Agricultural systems}, month = {Oct}, note = {This section provides a synthesis of data on the transfer of radiocaesium to agricultural crops in Japan after the FDNPP accident. The main processes for radiocaesium transfer to crops are discussed and the available data for Japan are presented and compared with data from before the FDNPP accident where possible. The processes considered include interception, weathering, translocation, uptake from soil to crops, and transfers from crops to farm animals. Some general concepts and methodologies that are relevant for the transfer of all radionuclides to food crops are described in Section 4.1 (mass interception and weathering) and 4.2 (soil). For three important crops in Japan, rice, fruit and tea, separate sections are provided that present and discuss transfer parameter data collected after the FDNPP accident. Data for other crops are compiled in an additional section. Effective half-lives for the different types of crops are also included in each section. Key processes that affect the extent of transfer of radiocaesium are also described.}, title = {Environmental transfer parameters for radionuclides released from the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
