Peruchena, Juan Ignacio Manjón Collado, Guillermo García León, Manuel Environmental radioactivity Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Iodine-129 Fukushima Parte del número especial: Environmental Radioactivity – New Challenges with New Analytical Technologies Selected papers presented at the ENVIRA2015 Conference After the Fukushima accident, large amounts of radionuclides were discharged to the atmosphere. Some of them travelled long distances and were detected in places as far from Japan as Spain a few days after the accident. One of these radionuclides was 131I. Its isotope 129I (T1/2 = 15.7 × 106 years) was also expected to follow the same pathway. In this work, we present the results for the 129I concentration in the same atmospheric samples from Seville (Spain) where 131I activity was measured in 2011 by Baeza et al. (2012). 129I concentrations in aerosol and gaseous samples showed concentrations in the order of 104 and 105 atoms/m3, typically higher in the gaseous form with respect to the aerosol form. Also 129I in rainwater was measured, showing concentrations in the order of 108 atoms/L. The results show a very good agreement with the 131I profile, showing that, if background from other sources is not relevant, it is possible to estimate the impact of similar events years after them thanks to the sensitivity of techniques like Accelerator Mass Spectrometry.
