Abstract

Measurement techniques using a towed gamma ray
spectrometer allows to map the continuous distribution of 137Cs on
the seafloor within 30 km of the F1NPP. This study has revealed
that the temporal change in the 137Cs concentration does not show
a constant rate of decrease. Furthermore, the local 137Cs anomalies,
with concentrations of 137Cs one or two order of magnitude higher
than the surrounding seafloors, is influenced by local features of
the bathymetric feature.
