Overview of evaluation of distribution and transport behavior of radionuclides in the environment of Fukushima

Iijima, Kazuki ; Kitamura, Akihiro ; Miyahara, Kaname

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) Accident caused release of various radionuclides into the environment. About 70% of radioactive cesium deposited on forests in Fukushima prefecture far from living sphere so that they are not planned to be specifically decontaminated, meaning that radioactive cesium will remain in the forests in future. Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has carried out the F-TRACE project in which the transport behavior of radioactive cesium from forests to the ocean via river systems in Fukushima Prefecture was investigated. In this study, understandings of transport behavior of radioactive cesium in the environment obtained in field activities and simulation were overviewed.
