Outline of Final Research Achievements

We applied low-background gamma-spectrometry to conduct an investigations of spatial variations of 226Ra, 228Ra, 137Cs, 134Cs, 7Be, and 228Th activities in marginal seas around the Japan Islands; the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, and the southwestern Okhotsk Sea. We could elucidate the flow patterns of water masses (e.g., lateral and vertical water circulation) from 228Ra/226Ra ratio and 137Cs and 7Be activities and migration pattern of particles and reactive components from 228Th/228Ra ratio in these areas. We also clarified contamination levels of radiocesium in these areas after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident from 134Cs and 137Cs activities.
