Thirty-year simulation of environmental fate of 137Cs in the Abukuma River basin considering the characteristics of 137Cs behavior in land uses

Tsubasa Ikenoue et al.

Summary: The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident caused the radioactive contamination of deposited radionuclides, specifically 137Cs, on the land surface. The 137Cs was strongly absorbed on soil particles and subsequently washed off through soil erosion. The temporal variation of 137Cs wash-off varied greatly depending on land use.

Distribution, dynamics, and fate of radiocesium derived from FDNPP accident in the ocean

Shigeyoshi Otosaka et al.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of research results in the 10 years following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, specifically focusing on the distribution and dynamics of Cs-137 in the ocean. Research shows that Cs-137 in seawater traveled eastward over several years, with some recirculating to the western margin of the subtropical Pacific. Concentrations of radiocesium in marine organisms initially increased post-accident, then gradually decreased over time.

A storm-induced flood and associated nearshore dispersal of the river-derived suspended 137Cs

Summary: Significant release of radionuclides from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant resulted in their deposition on land and subsequent transport to the coastal areas, leading to long-term impacts on the marine environment.

Temporal variability of 137Cs concentrations in coastal sediments off Fukushima

Shotaro Suzuki et al.

Summary: Large amounts of radiocesium were released into marine environments after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, impacting the marine environment and biota in Fukushima. This study analyzes monitoring data from May 2011 to March 2020 to understand the temporal variability of Cs-137 concentrations in coastal sediments off Fukushima. The results show a decreasing trend in Cs-137 concentration, but the rate of decrease has slowed down. Riverine input of Cs-137 following heavy rainfall events is identified as the main factor maintaining Cs-137 concentrations in coastal sediments near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Persistent impact of Fukushima decontamination on soil erosion and suspended sediment

Bin Feng et al.

Summary: Mechanical soil decontamination is an important tool in remediating contaminated soils. The study found that upstream decontamination caused persistently excessive suspended sediment loads downstream, but rapid vegetation recovery can shorten the duration of such unsustainable impacts. Future upstream remediation should consider pre-assessing local natural restoration and preparing appropriate revegetation measures in remediated regions for downstream sustainability.

Environmental recovery from 137Cs contamination in Japanese coastal waters shown by comparison of temporal distributions with European seas

Hyoe Takata

Summary: This study compared the spatial and temporal distributions of 137Cs in the European Baltic Sea and the North and Norwegian Seas after the Chernobyl accident, and in Japanese coastal regions after the Fukushima accident. The results showed that the decrease in 137Cs concentrations largely depended on local geography, and the dilution-diffusion effect of seawater was more significant in Japanese coastal waters.

Impact of Extreme Typhoon Events on the Fluvial Discharge of Particulate Radiocesium in Fukushima Prefecture

Takahiro Nakanishi et al.

Summary: Two huge typhoons in October 2019 caused significant flood damage in Fukushima Prefecture. The study quantitatively evaluated sediment and Cs-137 discharges from the Ukedo River catchment over 6 years, showing that the typhoon events contributed to the majority of the annual discharges. However, the impact of Cs-137 discharge on the coastal area was extremely limited, accounting for only 0.1% of the Cs-137 deposition in the catchment.

A modeling study on the oceanic dispersion and sedimentation of radionuclides off the coast of Fukushima

Yuki Kamidaira et al.

Summary: A three-dimensional prognostic oceanic dispersion model was developed to study the transfer mechanism of Cs-137 from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident to seabed sediment, with a focus on phase transfer of radionuclides. The extensive model-data comparison showed that the model successfully reproduced the distribution of Cs-137 in seawater and sediment. Adsorption of Cs-137 on seabed sediment varied based on particle size, with significant adsorption on clay, impacting the distribution dynamics of Cs-137 in the sediment off the Fukushima coast.

Importance of desorption process from Abukuma River's suspended particles in increasing dissolved 137Cs in coastal water during river-flood caused by typhoons

Hyoe Takata et al.

Summary: The desorption of radiocesium from riverine particles into seawater during typhoons significantly increases dissolved Cs-137 levels in coastal seawater, highlighting the importance of this process in understanding radionuclide dynamics in the boundary area of river-sea system.
