  1. D2O release experimentsProf N. Momoshima, Kyushu University, Japan • From a view point of health physics, studies on tritium behavior in the environment are necessary for an accurate dose assessment ; such as actual HT oxidation in the local environment, transfer of HTO to soil, plants and animals, and OBT formation and tritium elimination in them. • However, field experiments on environmental behavior of tritium are quite difficult to do because of the public acceptance problem in Japan. • Thus heavy water (D2O) vapor release experiments was planed and carried out.

  2. Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Japan • Environmental Behavior and Biological Conversion of Tritium -Preliminary Release Experiment of Heavy water in a Greenhouse- 1995～1996 • Transfer of tritium to crops, animals and fishes during an accidental release of tritium and its retention 1997-1999 Prof. M. Ichimasa, Ibaraki Univ. Japan

  3. Members of the program and joined to the D2O experiments (red) • M. Ichimasa (Ibaraki Univ.) • Y. Ichimasa (Ibaraki Univ.) • H. Takeda (NIRS) • S. Hisamatsu (Akita Univ.) • H. Amano (JAERI), M. Atarashi • H. Noguchi (JAERI), S. Yokoyama • N. Momoshima (Kyushu Univ.), H. Kakiuchi • T. Okai (Kyushu Univ.) • Y. Sakuma (NIFS) • M. Saito (Kyoto Univ.) • A. Ito (Hiroshima Univ.) • K. Komatsu (Hiroshima Univ.) • K. Okuno (Shizuoka Univ.) Transfer of D2O to soil, plants and animals, and OBD formation and tritium elimination

  4. A greenhouse was constructed in the field of the Ibaraki University. Closed type and top open type. Closed type (1995-97 and 1999) D2O Top open type (1998)

  5. Different points End D2O Time (h) Atmospheric D2O concentrations in the close type greenhouse (1997). 48h release

  6. Atmospheric D2O concentrations in the top open type greenhouse(1998). The D2O concentrations changed with time due to wind and did not reach to a steady state. A large difference in concentration with height near the D2O humidifies but not so much apart points.

  7. Topic of research • Uptake and release of D2O by plants • rice, radish, tomato, komatsuna, cabbage, orange, soybean, (maze, potato・・） • Uptake and reemission by soil • Sandy soil • OBD formation • rice
