海 洋

大気中に放出された人工放射性核種は、大気中を運ばれた後、主に雨によって地表面および海洋表面に降下します(湿性沈着)。また一部は重力や表面との相互作用などにより地表面および海洋表面に降下します(乾性沈着)。あるいは直接海洋に放出される場合もあります。海洋表面に降下、または海洋へ直接漏洩した人工放射性核種は、その後海流にのって移動し、拡散し、粒子状物質として沈降などによって海洋内部へ配分され、一部は海洋生態系に取り込まれていきます。海洋は人工放射性核種の巨大なシンクであり、そこでの動き方を知ることは、環境における影響評価あるいは食物連鎖を経ての人間社会への影響を知る上で極めて重要です。

Activity Log

平成30年12月5日 JEILORAで青山道夫特任教授が基調講演を行いました。

開催日 平成30年12月5日~7日
場所 モナコ公国・モナコ
会議 JOINT EC-JRC/IAEA WORKSHOP ON LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVITY MEASUREMENTS AND APPLICATIONS (JEILORA)
講演タイトル "Long term transport of radiocaesium originated from global fallout and the Fukushima accident in the Pacific Ocean since 1954"

主催者の招待と依頼により、地下測定室で極低レベル放射能測定を行い、海洋環境でその結果をトレーサとして使っている研究の二つの事例について講演しました。

講演では、まず最初に試料の量が少量であったり海洋内部で放射能濃度が低いために、地上の実験室では測定できない試料の測定を依頼してきた尾小屋地下測定室がおよそ水深換算で260mであることや十数台の低バックグラウンドのゲルマニウム半導体検出器を運用していることなどの概要を、金沢大学浜島博士のスライドを使って紹介しました。また海水試料から放射性セシウムを抽出する放射化学の方法について演者がおこなってきた向上実験の結果、測定効率の一桁以上の向上とカリウム40によるバックグラウンドの上昇を3分の1程度まで下げることができていることを示しました。

研究の事例の一つ目として、福島事故後の北太平洋でのコンテナ船による表面水採取とその分析結果から得られた知見を紹介しました。福島事故で大気に放出された放射性セシウムが北東方向に主に輸送され西部北太平洋の海面に降下したこと、その後直接漏洩した放射性セシウムとともに黒潮に沿って東に一日当たり時速7kmで輸送されたことなどを含みます。コンテナ船には一試料あたり2リットルで良いとして採水を依頼したので採取してもらえたことは、地下測定室で測定することが研究を遂行する上での強力な手段であることを示しています。

事例の二つ目は海洋の内部構造を研究した結果です。東経165度線に沿って北緯50度から南緯4度までの断面観測ができたのも、地下測定室で測定ができたからこそ実現しました。1960年に海面に降下したセシウム137は海洋内部に沈み込み、ゆっくり右回りに海洋内部を移動しています。その50年以上を追跡することができています。驚くべきことに50年経過しても沈み込んだ当初の放射能濃度から数分の1にしかなっていないことが示されました。

平成29年9月18日 APSORC17で青山道夫特任教授が招待講演を行いました。

開催日 平成29年9月17日~22日
場所 韓国・済州島
会議 The 6th Asia-Pacific Symposium on Radiochemistry (APSORC17)
講演タイトル "Long term behavior of TEPCO Fukushima NPP1 accident radiocaesium in the coastal region of Japan and the North Pacific Ocean, past and present: A review"

主催者の依頼により、福島原子力発電所事故により海洋環境に放出された放射性セシウムの海洋での挙動について、事故直後から現在まで、沿岸から太平洋全域を概観し、講演をおこなった。以下は講演の概要である。
東部北太平洋では、まず最初に事故直後に大気経由で北米大陸沿岸に輸送があり、表層での濃度が増加した。また、2013年から2014年にかけての太平洋を横断した表層輸送により、2度目の濃度増加があり、セシウム137濃度が約10 Bq m-3まで増加している。北緯30度より北の西部北太平洋では、東向きの輸送が起きたあと、海洋表層では、事故以前のセシウム137濃度とほぼ同じ2 Bq m-3に急速に低下していた。北緯30度より南の海域では、表層海水中のセシウム137濃度は、事故後数Bq m-3に増加し、2015/2016/2017年で徐々に約2 Bq m-3に減少し、これは事故以前のセシウム137濃度とほぼ同じ2 Bq m-3である。日本海では、事故由来の放射性セシウムの再循環により放射性セシウム濃度が増加しつつある。
青山らによる事故により環境中に放出された放射性セシウム(137Csと134Cs、それぞれ同じ量)の値は、物質収支を満たしており、正確であるといえる。放射性セシウムの放出総量とその分配は以下のとおりである。
大気への放出量:15-20 PBq、
直接漏えい量:3-6 PBq、
北太平洋の大気沈着量:12-15 PBq、
北太平洋の事故起源セシウムの総量:15-18 PBq、
陸上への降下量:3-6 PBq

海洋に入ったうち、7.9±1.4 PBqは表層にあり、4.2±1.1 PBqは亜熱帯モード水(STMW)にあり、亜熱帯ジャイア全体に広がっている。中央モード水 (CMW)には3-6 PBqあると考えられる。STMWに入ったうち0.2 PBqはすでに日本海に再循環している。
事故サイトからは依然として放射性セシウムとトリチウム(3H)のわずかな漏えいは続いているが、その量は非常に小さく、収支には影響しない。しかし、現実の状況を知るためには科学を続ける必要がある。
