| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Soluble and reactive radionuclides (Ra-226, Ra-228, Cs-134, Cs-137, Th-228, and Th-234) in seawater have been used as powerful tracers to investigate geochemical cycles in marine environments. By employing low-background gamma-spectrometry, we conduct fine-resolution observations of spatial and seasonal variations of these radionuclides in the Sea of Japan (and the neighboring East China Sea and Okhotsk Sea), and assess the circulation patterns of water masses and particles. Furthermore, the migration of Ra-228 readily explained the expanding pattern of the 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident-derived radiocesium around the Japanese Archipelago.
