摘要
Five survey cruises were carried out from 2004 to 2007 to determine Cs-137 concentrations in the water columns off Rokkasho Village, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, where the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant of Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd has been undergoing test operation since March 2006. Seawater samples were collected with a large volume in situ filtration and concentration system at different depths in the water column. Cs-137 in particulate form could not be detected in the survey area. Dissolved Cs-137 showed temporal variation, especially in the surface water. Based on the results, it was concluded that no observable Cs-137 contamination was present in the investigated area. The distribution of Cs-137 concentrations was influenced by the mixing between the Tsugaru and Oyashio Currents.
