  1. Development dynamic compartment models to predict behavior of radionuclides in rice paddy field Tomoyuki TAKAHASHI Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute Osaka, Japan

  2. My main experiences on development of dynamic compartment models BIOMOVS II uranium mill tailings scenario (U-238 chain) with Dr. Homma and Dr. Togawa (JAEA) Transfer of tritium by river network at Toki site with Dr. Yamanishi (NIFS) Dr. Momoshima and Dr. Sugihara (Kyushu Univ.) Behavior of radionuclides in rice paddy field - Iodine, Cesium and Strontium - Carbon-14 (EMRAS I) with Dr. Uchida, Dr. Tagami, Dr. Ishii and Dr. Takeda (NIRS) Dr. Yamamoto (Y first Inc.) Dr. Tomita and Dr. Hayashi (V.I.C. Inc.)

  3. BIOMOVS II uranium mill tailings scenario (U-238 chain) Source term: - Groundwater release (leaching from tailings pile) - Atmospheric release (dust and gas from tailings pile) Dynamic compartment: Vegetable land and pasture land Deterministic analysis -Time dependent annual total dose (each nuclides and total) Probabilistic analysis - Cumulative distribution functions of peak total dose - Time dependent 90% confidence interval - Statistical coefficients between variable parameters and peak total dose

  4. River and sampling points of river waters in Toki area Meeting point

  5. Network of rivers assumed in the analysis Basin Toki river C-2 B-1 B-1 C-1 Basin B-3 Basin F-3 F-1 A-2 A-1 F-2 A-3 Ikuta river Tsumaki river Downstream

  6. Compartment models for basin and meeting point (a) Basin Rainfall Evaporation River water of downstream River water Surface flow Groundwater Infiltration A migration prediction code "MOGRA" was used (b) Meeting point River water of upstream River water of downstream River water River water of upstream

  7. Measured and estimated tritium concentration in river water and groundwater Estimated concentration in groundwater at B-1 point Estimated concentration in river water at B-1 point Measured concentration in groundwater Measured concentration at B-2 point Measured concentration at B-1 point Measured concentration at B-3 point

  8. Behavior of radionuclides in rice paddy fieldBackground and objectives Reasonable dose assessment caused by nuclear facilities Appropriate estimation of internal dose by the pathway of ingestion of rice which is a staple food in Asian countries Prediction of behavior of radionuclides in rice paddy field Development of dynamic compartment models for some important radionuclides

  9. Structure of compartment model for I, Cs and Sr Air Rain Outside Harvest Deposition Ear Hull Bran Rice Plowing Translocation Translocation Leaf & stem Leaf & stem surface Leaf & stem internal Outside Leaf & stem through Weathering Root uptake Water Volatilization Surface water Outside Outflow Irrigation Sorption & desorption Sorption & desorption Change Soil (fast) Soil (slow) Plowing Deeper zone Infiltration Infiltration

  10. Growing curve of rice plant Ishizuka & Tanaka (1953) Estimated parameters Total Leaf & stem WTotal WLeaf =WTotal-WEar Ear WEar Leaf & stem = Total - Ear Growing curve

  11. Development of a Dynamic Compartment Model for Prediction of Transfer of Carbon-14 to Rice Grains 14C is one of the most critical radionuclide for the safety assessment - Nuclear fuel reprocessing plant - Radioactive waste disposal plant Developed a dynamic compartment model to predict 14C behavior in rice paddy field and its concentration in rice grains First step The source term was considered as 14CO2 released into the atmosphere Second step The source term was considered as 14C with the irrigation water

  12. Structure of compartment model for 14Cfrom the atmosphere Inflow Respiration Air Leaf & stem organic Ear organic Translocation Respiration Photosynthesis Photosynthesis Absorption Plant inorganic Exchange Uptake Release Translocation Revise to more appropriate parameter values Soil Translocation Outflow
