Quantum Chemical Computational Approach for Elucidating Radioactive Cesium Concentration Mechanism in Fungi

—Research Activity Report on “Computational Science Research Collaboration” Project—

Abstract

The author has been conducting, since April 2022, a “Hosei University RCCMS (Research Center for Computing and Multimedia Studies)” Research Project, entitled “Computational Science Research Collaboration”. The author has carried out research on quantum chemical computation methods for understanding the mechanism of radioactive cesium concentration in mushrooms, in collaboration with the Center for Computational Study and e-Systems (CCSE) from Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The author has also successfully installed and set up the computer software, GRRM, MOPAC, gr2moc, used for this project on lab2022 computers. This article reports the present on-going research activities within this Research Project.
