Marine dispersion assessment of 137Cs released from the Fukushima nuclear accident

Radionuclides were released into the atmosphere and ocean due to an accident in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in March 2011. Numerical simulations were carried out to evaluate the distribution of 137Cs in the ocean considering both direct releases to the sea and deposition from the...
