Abstract

Soil blocks were taken into culture boxes from 12 paddy fields within 5 km radii of Yonggwang and Ulchin NPPs and $^{90}Sr$ was applied to the surface water at a pre-transplanting stage and $1{\sim}2$ days before the start of heading. Following the pre-transplanting application, transfer factors were investigated for $2{\sim}4$ years. In the year of application, transfer factors $(m^2\;kg^{-1}-dry)\;of\;^{90}Sr$ applied before transplanting, showing no regionally distinguishable trend, varied with soils by a factor of about 2 with averages of $2.6{\times}10^{-4}$ for hulled seeds and $1.3{\times}10^{-2}$ for straw Transfer factors of $^{90}Sr$ applied shortly before heading were about 2 times greater than those applied before transplanting. Transfer factors tended to decrease with increasing soil pH and exchangeable Ca. Generic values of $^{90}Sr$ transfer factors in the year of deposition were proposed for the Korean paddy fields. In the second year compared with the first year, the transfer factor decreased more in Ulchin soils, which were on the whole higher in sand content, than in Yonggwang soils. For Yonggwang soils as a whole, the annual decrease in transfer factor was well described by an exponential equation with a half-life of about 2.2 years.

영광 및 울진 원전 반경 5 km 내 12 곳의 논토양 블록을 재배상자에 채취하여 벼의 이식 전과 출수 시작 $1{\sim}2$ 일 전에 $^{90}Sr$을 담수의 표면에 처리하였다. 이식 전 처리에 있어서는 전이계수를 $2{\sim}4$ 년 간 조사하였다. 이식전 처리시 당년도 $^{90}Sr$의 전이계수$(m^2\;kg^{-1}-dry\;plant)$는 지역 간에 이렇다할 차이없이 토양에 따라 2 배 정도의 변이를 보였고 평균은 쌀알의 경우 $2.6{\times}10^{-4}$, 볏짚의 경우 $1.3{\times}10^{-2}$였다. 출수 전 처리시 전이계수는 이식전 처리에 비해 대체로 2 배정도 높았다. 토양의 pH와 치환성 Ca 함량이 높을수록 $^{90}Sr$ 전이계수가 감소하는 경향이었다. 우리나라 논에 대하여 침적 당년도 $^{90}Sr$ 전이계수의 대표치가 제안되었다. 처리 1차 년도에 대한 2차 년도 전이계수의 감소 정도는 대체로 모래함량이 높은 울진 토양에서 영광 토양보다 높았다. 영광 토양 전체로 볼 때 년차에 따른 전이계수의 감소는 반감기가 2.2년 정도의 지수함수로 묘사될 수 있었다.
