ABSTRACT

The distribution of 137Cs in volcanic rocks was measured for sliced samples of solid lava blocks from Izu-Oshima island, Japan. The decrease in 137Cs concentration with the increase in depth, together with the uneven spatial distribution, suggested that the fallout was responsible for the occurrence of 137Cs and that 137Cs might have penetrated into lavas as deep as several centimeters.
