Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:62.61(Environmental Sciences)It is essential to evaluate secondary migration caused by riverine input and resuspension from seabed sediments to estimate the future distribution of radioactive cesium (Cs) in the coastal area off Fukushima Prefecture. In particular, the inflow from rivers cannot be ignored because most of the Cs inflow from rivers is deposited on the coast without elute into seawater. Two mooring systems were installed near the Ukedo River's mouth (Fukushima Prefecture) from February 2017 to February 2018. The first contained a sediment trap system, collecting sinking particles during the period. The second comprised a turbidity sensor and a current sensor. The contribution of resuspension and inflow from the river to the mass flux was quantitatively evaluated using multiple regression equations. The results showed that resuspension caused 79%-83% of secondary Cs migration in nearshore areas, whereas the influence of riverine Cs input on the sediment was only 7% per year.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:10.00(Environmental Sciences)Significant concentrations of Co, Cs and Ag were detected in common octopus specimens collected in the East China Sea during two periods, 1986-1989 and 1996-2005. The radionuclides detected in the former period were thought to originate from the global fallout. On the other hand, the source of Co in the latter period has remained unclear because the Co concentration decreased continuously with shorter half-lives than the physical half-lives. This tendency suggests that the source of Co in 1996-2005 was identical and was temporary supplied to the East China Sea. Investigations of common octopus in the other area indicated that the origin of the pollutant source of Co in 1996-2005 occurred locally in the restricted area in the East China Sea rather than in the coastal area of Japan.
