AbstractThis dataset contains 56 records of radionuclide concentrations measured in environmental samples collected around the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant. These data were obtained as part of a long-term environmental monitoring program designed to assess the impacts of the nuclear power plant on the surrounding marine and terrestrial environments. The monitoring program, initiated in 1983, has been conducted continuously up to the present.

RemarksAll radionuclide activity values are presented with two significant figures, with rounding applied to the third significant figure. Measurements below the detection limit are indicated by “*”, while nuclides that were not analyzed are marked with “–”. The original measurements were recorded in picocuries (pCi), which were commonly used at the time of data acquisition; for consistency with current international standards, all values have been converted to becquerels (Bq). Please note that some older records may include limited metadata or reflect analytical methods available at the time of measurement.
