Abstract
- Lateral and temporal profiles for concentrations of Cs and Cs were examined in marine sediments obtained from coastal and offshore areas on the Sea of Japan-side of central Honshu. In 2013, concentrations declined sharply from an estuarine (30 Bq/kg-dry for Cs) to offshore areas. In the offshore Sado Basin, the concentration of short-lived Cs, which was not detected (<0.3 Bq/kg-dry) in 2010, was 1-15 Bq/kg-dry in 2011-2013. Discharged riverine materials affected by radiocesium derived from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant have been delivered to this offshore basin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
