Discussed (final revised paper)
Latest update: 14 Dec 2024
Short summary
Measurements after the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident show that elevated concentrations of Cs-137 still remain in sediments, benthic organisms, and demersal fishes in the coastal zone. The dynamic food chain model has been extended to include benthic organisms. We showed that the gradual decrease of activity in the demersal fish after the accident was caused by the transfer of activity from organic matter deposited on the bottom through the deposit-feeding invertebrates.
Measurements after the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident show that elevated concentrations of Cs-137...
