The oceanic pollution that resulted from the discharge of radioactive materials following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station was a concern not only for the coastal population of Fukushima, but also for countries facing the Pacific Ocean. This called for rapid clarification of the actual dispersal situation by oceanic monitoring, but there were limits to collect water samples by ships, and it was difficult to gain an adequate understanding.
Therefore, right after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, we have developed a simulation method to illustrate the oceanic dispersion off the coast of Fukushima and in the North Pacific based on the research of global warming and knowledge from safety evaluations
