Estimation of Cs and Sr contamination of concrete below the turbine pits after the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident was carried out. Considerations were based on the type of cement and aggregate used, drying, carbonation and cracking of the concrete, and the contamination history, i.e. contact with contaminated water after a one-day immersion in seawater from the tsunami. The relationship between crack density and the amount of contaminated concrete was determined from the reproduction of crack density and the acquisition of apparent diffusion coefficients for cracked and uncracked areas from the immersion experiment with contamination history.
