AbstractRadioactive cesium (137Cs) is distributed in the world's oceans as a result of global fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests, releases from fuel reprocessing plants, and inputs from nuclear power plant accident. In order to aid in the interpretation of the observed database, we have conducted a suite of simulations of the distribution of 137Cs using a global ocean general circulation model (OGCM). Calculated period average of surface 137Cs activity concentrations from March 2011 to March 2021, after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident.
