The IER is providing a loan service of the archive soil samples and using a database system for the samples. The database system consists of two parts: a data set of the soil samples collected during the first to seventh survey, and a system called ARASO (Assessment Database System for Radioactivity in Soil) which allows us to view and search the soil data from the first survey on a map. ARASO has useful functions, such as, calculating of radioactivity in the specified area and searching for the soil samples according to the research object. It is highly expected that ARASO will promote the utilization of archive soil samples and contribute to the research progress on the radioactivity assessment as well as the fate of radioactive materials in the environment.

Small-animal molecular imaging is recognized as a method that bridges basic study and clinical research. However, the imaging system is not easily available to ev-eryone due to the peculiarity of handling and management. Here the author describe the basic of preclinical positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for beginners.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of stable caesium (SCs) were determined in adult Japanese Black Cattle (JBC, n=20). They were divided into two groups, i.e, intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) administration groups, and each of them was administered 133 CsCl solution (20 mg/kg b.w.). SCs in biological samples was measured by ICP-MS, and their concentration-time courses were monitored for 182 days. The PK parameters determined in plasma and blood in each group were as follows (mean±SD); area under the concentration-time curve (AUC;µg/L · h): 0.54±0.06 (IVp), 0.42±0.05 (POp), 0.87±0.11 (IVb), and 0.71±0.33 (POb), mean residence time (MRT; day); 20.9±3.2 (IVp), 19.3±2.9 (POp), 24.7±3.6 (IVb), and 23.6±5.2 (POb), bioavailability (F%); 82±29 and 83±38, clearance (CL; mL/min/kg): 0.46±0.05 (IVp), 0.49±0.06 (POp), 0.29±0.04 (IVb), and 0.31±0.08 (POb), and distribution volume (Vd; L/kg) was 3.3 (Vdp) and 4.4 (Vdb). The biological half-life of the terminal elimination phase (T1/2) was estimated to be approximately 30 days. The urine recovery for the dose was 28±6 (IV) and 28±8 (PO), and the fecal recovery was 85±21 (IV) and 122±42% (PO). The time course via both routes of administration showed similar biphasic distribution and elimination profile in any biological samples and elucidated by compartment analysis with consideration of background level. Based on the PK parameters, elimination profile of radioactive caesium (RCs) from the JBC kept long in the RCs contaminated area can be explained.
