24 Conclusion The atom ratios of 240 Pu/ 239 Pu in the seawater samples were increasing with depth and were higher than the global fallout ratio (0.18). The elevated 240 Pu/ 239 Pu atom ratios indicate that the close-in fallout plutonium isotopes originating from the Pacific Proving Grounds (PPGs) due to the U.S. tests are prevailing in the seawater in the NW Pacific Ocean. While the atom ratio of 240 Pu/ 239 Pu in the surface sediment collected near the PPGs (at St. 6, 7, 8, TEQ 6) was significantly higher than the global fallout ratio, St. 1 and TEQ 12 presented the global fallout. As a consequence, the water masses associated with the currents would play a key role in driving the distribution of Pu and in transporting Pu from the PPGs to the far eastern marginal sea in the NW Pacific Ocean.
