Fig.1-6 Concentration of Cs-137 at the sea surface predicted using a simulation assuming direct ocean release and atmospheric deposition

The simulation results illustrate that Cs-137 was deposited on the sea surface along the Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures and the offshore area northeast of Miyagi prefecture via atmospheric release immediately after the accident. Additional Cs-137 was also directly released into the ocean from 1F. Cs-137 in the ocean was transported by ocean currents, and the mixing process of the ocean currents diluted its concentration.
