Present status of oceanic dispersion simulations of cesium 137 ($$^{137}$$Cs) directly discharged from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant are reviewed using five model outputs and other available informations, focusing on estimations of discharged amount of $$^{137}$$Cs and subsequent dispersion in a region off Fukushima during March and April, 2011. Common aspects and discrepancies among the simulated results are described. While the discharged amount spreads from about 1 to 27 P Bq of $$^{137}$$Cs among the estimates, the values obtained from the five models indicate 2 to 4 P Bq. With these total amounts and time evolutions of the discharge rate, mimicking observed $$^{137}$$Cs concentration near FDNPP, as a source for the dispersion calculation, all the five models simulated the $$^{137}$$Cs dispersion in the ocean reasonably well corresponding to the observed distributions.
