Long-term variations in $$^{129}$$I seawater concentrations off Fukushima and potential of 129I as an oceanographic tracer for ALPS-treated water

Suzuki, Takashi; Otosaka, Shigeyoshi*; Takata, Hyoe*; Kuwabara, Jun; Nakanishi, Takahiro; Ikenoue, Tsubasa

Environmental Science & Technology, 60(17), p.13123 - 13131, 2026/04

As a results of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, long-lived radioactive $$^{129}$$I has been released into the environment, with additional releases beginning in 2023 through ALPS-treated water. To study its long-term variation and potential as an oceanographic tracer, $$^{129}$$I concentrations in seawater off Fukushima were measured from 2012 to 2024. The highest concentration, 445$$times$$10$$^{-8}$$ Bq/L, was observed in 2013 near the plant. Levels have since declined toward the pre-accident value of 1.76$$times$$10$$^{-8}$$ Bq/L. Spatial and temporal changes in the $$^{129}$$I/$$^{137}$$Cs ratio indicate the influence of small water masses and support its use as a tracer in areas with complex ocean circulation.

Shimada, Asako; Tsukahara, Takehiko*; Nomura, Masao*; Shimada, Taro; Takeda, Seiji; Takahashi, Hiroaki*

Due to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), radiocesium such as $$^{134}$$Cs, $$^{135}$$Cs, and $$^{137}$$Cs was dispersed over a wide area of eastern Japan and mixed with radiocesium from global fallout. The depth profiles of $$^{137}$$Cs for samples taken in 2003 before the FDNPS accident and in 2017 after the FDNPS accident in Tokai-mura (about 115 km NE of Tokyo) were both described by exponential equations from the surface up to a depth of 15 cm. Systematic grid sampling of surface soil at a depth of 5 cm was conducted at 3 sites in Tokai-mura in 2019, and distributions of the $$^{137}$$Cs concentration, $$^{134}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs radioactivity ratio, and $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio were measured. It was found that the $$^{137}$$Cs concentration varied among sites and within individual sites, while the $$^{134}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs radioactivity ratio was constant for all samples collected at 3 sites, 1.01$$pm$$0.04 (2$$sigma$$). The $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio for the two sites was constant and comparable to that obtained for soil sampled near FDNPS. On the other hand, the $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio. For the other site varied and showed higher values (0.355-0.446), suggesting the influence of global fallout. Based on the results, the mixture percentages of radiocesium originating from global fallout and the FDNPS accident were estimated.

Ten-year temporal changes in the supply source of $$^{137}$$Cs released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to the coastal area

Sato, Shun; Wakiyama, Yoshifumi*; Takahashi, Fumiaki; Takata, Hyoe*

Science of the Total Environment, 1000, p.180380_1 - 180380_14, 2025/10

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2025.180380

We compared the ongoing direct release of $$^{137}$$Cs from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) and riverine inputs of $$^{137}$$Cs that have contributed to the persistent elevated $$^{137}$$Cs in coastal waters around the plant since 2012. The direct release of $$^{137}$$Cs clearly decreased from 17.5 TBq during 2012$$sim$$2014 to 0.6 TBq during 2019$$sim$$2021 because of measures implemented by the FDNPP. The riverine input decreased slightly from 2.2 TBq during 2012$$sim$$2014 to 2.0 TBq during 2019$$sim$$2021. The ratio of direct release to the total $$^{137}$$Cs flux into the coastal water around the FDNPP decreased from 89% during 2012$$sim$$2014 to 23% during 2019$$sim$$2021. This change resulted in part from a lowering of the limit of detection of $$^{137}$$Cs activities to avoid overestimation of Cs fluxes from the facility, but also from installation of an impermeable seaside wall. The trend of decreasing riverine $$^{137}$$Cs input might have been due entirely to environmental remediation. Our results indicate that the contribution of riverine input to the coastal waters will continue for a long time. Precise prediction of the long-term distribution of $$^{137}$$Cs in the marine environment will require consideration of a variety of environmental factors and anthropogenic effects.

Evaluation of the impact of the $$^{137}$$Cs supply from rivers to coastal waters off Fukushima on the $$^{137}$$Cs behavior in seabed sediment

Ikenoue, Tsubasa; Nakanishi, Takahiro; Shimadera, Hikari*; Kawamura, Hideyuki; Kondo, Akira*

E3S Web of Conferences (Internet), 530, p.02005_1 - 02005_10, 2024/05

https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202453002005

The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) caused a radioactive contamination in seabed sediment. The $$^{137}$$Cs supply from rivers could be an important process for the long-term behavior of $$^{137}$$Cs in seabed sediment. In this study, a ten-year simulation of the $$^{137}$$Cs behavior in seabed sediment was conducted using an oceanic dispersion model combined with a prediction model of $$^{137}$$Cs behavior in land and river. In the waters north of FDNPP, the simulation results suggested that the $$^{137}$$Cs supply from rivers had a great impact on the concentrations in coastal sediment due to the initial low concentrations in seabed sediment and the large supply of $$^{137}$$Cs from rivers. In the waters near FDNPP and south of FDNPP, the simulation results suggested that the impact of the $$^{137}$$Cs supply on the temporal variation of $$^{137}$$Cs concentration in coastal sediment was relatively small due to the large initial adsorption from seawater. Overall, these results indicated that $$^{137}$$Cs supply from rivers had an impact on the spatiotemporal distribution of $$^{137}$$Cs concentrations in seabed sediment on a decadal time scale and the impact was especially great in the waters north of FDNPP.

Characterizing plastic-associated biofilms is key to the better understanding of organic material and mineral cycling in the "Plastisphere"-the thin layer of microbial life on plastics. In this study, we propose a new method to extract biofilms from environmental plastics, in order to evaluate the properties of biofilm-derived organic matter through stable carbon ($$delta$$$$^{13}$$C) and nitrogen ($$delta$$$$^{15}$$N) isotope signatures and their interactions with radionuclides especially radiocesium ($$^{137}$$Cs). After ultrasound-assisted separation from the plastics, biofilm samples were successfully collected via a sequence of syringe treatments. Biofilm-derived organic matter samples (14.5-65.4 mg) from four river mouths in Japan showed $$^{137}$$Cs activity concentrations of $$<$$75 to 820 Bq kg$$^{-1}$$ biofilm (dw), providing evidence that environmental plastics, mediated by developed biofilms, serve as a carrier for $$^{137}$$Cs in the coastal environment. Significant differences in the ($$delta$$$$^{13}$$C and $$delta$$$$^{15}$$N signatures were also obtained for the biofilms, indicating the different sources, pathways, and development processes of biofilms on plastics.

A new non-destructive method for evaluating $$^{137}$$Cs activity in spent nuclear fuels was proposed and experimentally demonstrated for physical measurements in burnup credit implementation. $$^{137}$$Cs activities were quantified using gamma ray measurements and numerical detector response simulations without reference fuels, in which $$^{137}$$Cs activities are well known. Fuel samples were obtained from a lead use assembly (LUA) irradiated in a commercial pressurized water reactor (PWR) up to 53 GWd/t. Gamma rays emitted from the samples were measured using a bismuth germinate (BGO) scintillation detector through a collimator attached to a hot cell. The detection efficiency of gamma rays with the detector was calculated using the PHITS particle transport calculation code considering the measurement geometry. The relative activities of $$^{134}$$Cs, $$^{137}$$Cs, and $$^{154}$$Eu in the sample were measured with a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector for more accurate simulations of the detector response for the samples. The absolute efficiency of the detector was calibrated by measuring a standard gamma ray source in another geometry. $$^{137}$$Cs activity in the fuel samples was quantified using the measured count rate and detection efficiency. The quantified $$^{137}$$Cs activities agreed well with those estimated using the MVP-BURN depletion calculation code.

Toxicity reduction with total volume control in nuclear waste

Fukaya, Yuji; Ueta, Shohei; Yamamoto, Tomohiko; Chikazawa, Yoshitaka; Yan, X.

When the total volume control on toxicity for nuclear waste management is applied, it becomes a limiting factor for the permittable total operation capacity of nuclear reactors. An alternative conceptual scenario to achieve the control is proposed that aims at toxicity reduction through Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T). Specifically, the electricity generation capacity could be inversely increased up with transmutation of $$^{90}$$Sr-$$^{137}$$Cs. Simultaneously, the cooling time before disposal is reduced to 50 years from the 300 years required by the existing scenarios such as (Accelerator Driven System (ADS). Finally, the scenario is also found feasible in terms of energy balance and cost by the neutron source of Li(d,xn) reaction with the deuteron accelerator for transmutation.

Determination of $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotopic ratio in soil collected near Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station through mass spectrometry

Shimada, Asako; Tsukahara, Takehiko*; Nomura, Masao*; Kim, M. S.*; Shimada, Taro; Takeda, Seiji; Yamaguchi, Tetsuji

Determining the completeness of nuclear reactor decommissioning is an important step in safely utilizing nuclear power. For example, $$^{137}$$Cs from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) accident can be treated as background radioactivity, so determining the origin of $$^{137}$$Cs is essential. To accomplish this, measuring the $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratio can be useful, so this study optimized a solvent extraction method, with calix[4]arene-bis(t-octylbenzo-crown-6) [BOBCalixC6] in 1-octanol, to purify radioactive Cs, radiocesium, from a solution of major environmental soil elements and mass spectrometry interference elements. This optimized method was applied to Cs purification in soil samples (40 g), and the final solutions contained a total of 10$$mu$$g/ml of the major soil elements and ng/ml concentrations at most of interfering elements. Soil samples collected near the FDNPS were then purified, and the $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs isotope ratios were measured, using both thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and triple quadrupole induced coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-QQQ). The results of each of these measurements were compared, and we found that Cs isotope ratios obtained by TIMS were more precise, by an order of magnitude, while the ICP-QQQ results possessed good abundance sensitivities. A slightly higher $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs ratio in the northwest area of the FDNPS was observed, while other areas exhibited similar values, all within the measurement error range, which indicated different origins of radiocesium. These results agreed with previously reported $$^{134}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs activity distributions, suggesting that this ratio may be useful in identifying radiocesium origins for evaluating future nuclear reactor decommissions.

After the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F) Accident in March 2011, the increase was significantly observed in a part of the result of the environmental radiation monitoring in Ibaraki prefecture. "The review meeting of the environmental effect from 1F accident" was established to discuss technically the fluctuation of monitoring data. The review meeting collected the monitoring data from the four nuclear operators, and discussed a fluctuating trend, $$^{134}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs activity ratio, and so on. In this report, the results of the dose rate and $$^{137}$$Cs in fallout, surface soil, flatfish and seabed sediment are introduced. Also the problem solving in the review meeting is introduced.

The long-term safety assessment of spent Cs adsorbents produced during the decontamination of radiocesium-containing water at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant requires one to estimate their $$^{135}$$Cs content prior to final disposal. $$^{135}$$Cs is usually quantified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), which necessitates the elution of Cs from Cs adsorbents. However, this approach suffers from the high radiation dose from $$^{137}$$Cs. To address this challenge, we herein employed laser ablation ICP-MS for direct quantitation of $$^{135}$$Cs in Cs adsorbents and used a model Cs adsorbent prepared by immersion of a commercially available Cs adsorbent into radiocesium-containing liquid waste to verify the developed technique. The use of the $$^{135}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs ratio and $$^{137}$$Cs radioactivity obtained by gamma spectrometry achieved simple and precise quantitation of $$^{135}$$Cs and the resulting $$^{135}$$Cs activity of 0.36 Bq agreed well with that in the original radiocesium-containing liquid waste.

Five intercomparisons of in situ $$gamma$$ spectrometry by 6-7 participating teams have been conducted between December 2011 and August 2015 at sites in Fukushima prefecture which affected by the fallout of FDNPS accident occurred in March 2011. The evaluated deposition densities agreed within 5-6% in terms of coefficient of variation (CV) for radiocesium ($$^{134}$$Cs and $$^{137}$$Cs), by our best achievement, and the ratio of $$^{134}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs in deposition density agreed within 1-2% in CV, through five intercomparisons. These results guarantee the accuracy of the measurements of the mapping project. Two different methods for intercomparison were conducted: (1) sequential measurements at an identical point; and (2) simultaneous measurements in a narrow area within 3 m radius. In a comparison between the two methods at a site, no significant difference was observed between the results. The standard protocols for the two different intercomparison methods were proposed based on our experience.

We assessed the repeatability and reproducibility of methods for determining low dissolved radiocesium concentrations in freshwater in Fukushima. Twenty-one laboratories pre-concentrated three of 10 L samples by five different pre-concentration methods (prussian-blue-impregnated filter cartridges, coprecipitation with ammonium phosphomolybdate, evaporation, solid-phase extraction disks, and ion-exchange resin columns), and activity of radiocesium was measured. The z-scores for all of the $$^{137}$$Cs results were within $$pm$$2, indicating that the methods were accurate. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) indicating the variability in the results from different laboratories were larger than the RSDs indicating the variability in the results from each separate laboratory.

Although the reconstruction of atmospheric deposition processes of radiocesium during the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) accident is essential, the whole picture of the deposition mechanism in complex topography has not been well understood yet. To understand atmospheric deposition processes of aerosols over the complex mountainous topography, we analyzed altitudinal characteristics of radiocesium released during the accident. At five selected mountainous areas in the eastern Japan, altitudinal characters of air dose rate observed by our high-resolution airborne surveys after the accident was analyzed based on the results of three typical (dry, wet, and cloud water) deposition obtained from the latest atmospheric dispersion.

To clarify what happened during the Fukushima accident, the phenomena within RPV and the discussion of ties with the environmental monitoring are very important. However, the previous study has not necessarily advanced until the present that passed almost six years from the accident. The present study investigated $$^{131}$$I and $$^{137}$$Cs release behaviors during the late phase of the accident based on $$^{131}$$I/$$^{137}$$Cs ratio of the source terms that were recently evaluated backward by WSPEEDI code based on environmental monitoring data. The $$^{131}$$I release from the contaminated water in the basement of 1F2 and 1F3 reactor buildings was evaluated to be about 10% of $$^{131}$$I source term. The increase in $$^{137}$$Cs release from March 21 to 23 and from March 30 to 31 could be explained by the release of CsBO$$_{2}$$ which is formed as a result of chemical reactions of Cs with B$$_{4}$$C due to re-ascension of the core temperature caused by slight shortage of the core cooling water.

Source term estimation for the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident by combined analysis of environmental monitoring and plant data through atmospheric dispersion simulation

Nagai, Haruyasu; Terada, Hiroaki; Chino, Masamichi; Katata, Genki; Mikami, Satoshi; Saito, Kimiaki

Proceedings of 16th International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics (NURETH-16) (USB Flash Drive), p.4044 - 4052, 2015/08

JAEA has estimated the atmospheric releases of radionuclide during the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FNPS1) accident by comparing measurements of air concentration of a radionuclide or its dose rate in the environment with the ones calculated by atmospheric transport and deposition model (ATDM). To improve our source term, we are trying to develop more sophisticated estimation method and use new information from severe accident analysis and observation data. As the first step of new trial, we used $$^{134}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs ratios of inventories in FNPS1 reactors Unit 1 to 3 and those in surface deposition. By considering temporal change in $$^{134}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs ratio of released plume and ATDM simulations, spatial distribution of $$^{134}$$Cs/$$^{137}$$Cs ratio in surface deposition was explained. This result can be used to specify from which reactor the dominant release occurred for each time period, and consequently provide useful information to severe accident analysis for the FNPS1 case.
