2 Background Hamadori region Uda River Mano River High Cs concentration in the bottom sediment are detected in water bodies in Fukusima and the surroundings area Cs moves from originally contaminated areas to cleaner downstream water bodies Accumulated bottom areas become a longterm source of contamination Cs (kbq m 2 ) < < Niida River Ohta River Odaka River highly contaminated upper region low contaminated downstream area Concern over increase in the risk of exposure through the activities such as water use, fishery and recreation 2

3 Purpose Understanding migration properties of radioactive cesium in river basin scale Understanding actual condition of cesium accumulation into inflowing water bodies Evaluating the trend of sediment contamination in water bodies by flows & stocks analysis

4 Study area Cs-(kBq m- 2 ) < < Tokyo Uda River Basin FDNPP Lake Kasumigaura Basin Cs deposition from an airborne monitoring survey on Nov. 11th, 2011 Lake Kasumigaura Basin (2,157km 2 ) as a mildly-contaminated area Shallow eutrophied lake with long retention time (200 days). Still blocking shipment for some fishes Uda River Basin (106.3km 2 ) as a heavily-contaminated area Highly contaminated mountainous upper region compared to lowland region Dam (Matugabou dam) controlling water flow in the basin Large coastal lagoon (Matsukawaura Lagoon )as an accumulation place 4

10 Change in spatial distribution of Cs accumulation in sediment of the Lake Kasumigaura Estimated spatial distributed map of Cs accumulation in sediment by spline function using activities of sediment cores at 68 points December, 2012 October, 2013 :sampling point Cs accumulation (kbq m 2 ) < < 18 kbq/m 2 (to 15cm depth) 15 kbq/m 2 (to 15cm depth) 19 kbq/m 2 (to 25cm depth) Higher activities in the western side Effect of initial direct deposition Locally high activities at some river mouths Effect of inflow from the river Change in Cs accumulation Slightly increase?, Promotion of vertical mixing 10

11 Analysis of stocks and flows of Cs in the Kasumigaura Basin in 21 months after the accident Inflow of Cs associated with SS from land 0.12kBq/m 2 (0.17TBq ) [Deposition annual runoff ratio(0.5%) 21/12] Accumulation in the sediment per unit area derived from land 1.0kBq/m 2 Deposition over the basin s entire land area 14kBq/m 2 (19TBq) Inflow of dissolved Cs from land (< 0.03kBq/m 2 ) Direct deposition on the lake surface 10kBq/m 2 Accumulation in the sediment 18kBq/m 2 (2.9TBq) Outflow from lake Unknown but small Small contribution of Cs associated with SS both in the past and future? Large effect of direct deposition on the lake surface and the runoff of radioactive Cs from impervious soon after deposition on the accumulation in the sediment 11

20 Relationship between sediment property and rcs concentration in the Matsukawaura Lagoon Relationship between radioactive Cs concentration and organic and muddy contents in the surface layer (0 5 cm) at the all of sampling points IL MCR MCR: ratio of fraction < 63μmto total content of sediment Distribution property of accumulated Cs Multiple contribution by inflow amount and flow property in the lagoon. Detailed survey and utilization of numerical simulation model are currently underway. 20

21 Effect of sediment inflow from the catchment on Cs accumulation in Matsukawaura Lagoon Spatial distribution of Cs accumulation on the bottom sediment of Matsukawaura Lagoon Total accumulation of Cs to 20cm depth on July, 2013: 220GBq (29kBq/m 2 ) Koizumi R. Uda R. Inflow amount of Cs associated with SS from the catchment (170km 2 ) Total deposition annual runoff elapsed years on the catchment ratio after the accident (25TBq) (0.11%) (2.4 年 ) = 68GBq 9.2kBq/m 2 on the bottom sediment Cs(kBq/m 2 ) Ume R. Sediment inflow probably has the role in Cs accumulation in the lagoon. Reflecting the difference of contamination level between upstream and downstream area Outflow from the lagoon to coastal sea should be considered for more precise estimation. 21

22 Summary of behavior of radioactive cesium accumulation in water bodies Direct deposition and initial inflow from land strongly contributed to current Cs accumulation condition in water bodies. Further accumulation into water bodies in a cleaner region with highly contaminated upper region should be considered. Role of dam in the prevention of proliferation of Cs to downstream area was confirmed, but production of bioavailable Cs from accumulated Cs should be examined. 22
