https://www.selleckchem.com/Bcl-2.html This study demonstrates that Beishan granite has a good reducing capacity, which is suitable for the immobilization of redox-sensitive radionuclides. However, potential oxidation of spent fuel by Fe3+ in the granite should also been taken into account. Organic amendments affect the behavior of radiocesium in soil-plant systems in a complex way; they can inhibit radiocesium fixation by clay minerals by blocking selective sorption sites, whereas K supplied to the soil solution by amendments can reduce Cs uptake by plant roots. Here, we investigated the influence of inorganic and organic amendments on the transferability of radiocesium from soil to grass seedling in a humus-rich Andosol with high exchangeable K content. Soil samples were spiked with a137Cs tracer, treated with N, N-P-K, compost (cattle manure using rice straw), or no amendment (control soil), and subjected to repeated two-week wetting and air-drying treatments for one year in an artificial climate chamber. Small-scale cultivations of orchard grass were performed four times during the experimental period to assess temporal changes of availability of 137Cs in the soils. The 137Cs transfer factor (TF), defined as the 137Cs concentration in the plant divided by that in the soil, decreased with time in the control soil. The soil treated with compost showed higher TFs than the control soil in each cultivation and a slower attenuation of 137Cs transferability. By comparing the extractability of 137Cs, NH4+, and K+ with the observed TFs, we show that K released from the compost was not effective in reducing root uptake of 137Cs, but enhanced 137Cs desorption from the soil under K-rich conditions. This result suggests that organic amendment is ineffective in reducing root uptake of radiocesium under high exchangeable K concentrations, and may instead enhance the long-term availability of radiocesium in soils.
