A part of radiocesium emitted during the Fukushima nuclear accident was incorporated in glassy water-resistant microparticles, called Type-A particles, which are spherical with ~ 0.1 to 10 µm diameter and ~ 10<sup>-2</sup> to 10<sup>2</sup> Bq cesium-137 (<sup>137</sup>Cs) radioactivity; they were emitted from Unit 2 or 3 of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Meanwhile, Type-B particles, having various shapes, 50-400 µm diameter, and 10<sup>1</sup>-10<sup>4</sup> Bq <sup>137</sup>Cs radi ...[more]
