How does the release of tritiated water from Fukushima affect the ocean? Scientific simulations offer clear insight into long-term tritium spread
image: Scientists from the Institute of Industrial Science at The University of Tokyo and the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity at Fukushima University have used a global ocean circulation model to assess the spread of tritium from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP). Their findings show that both short-term and long-term effects on oceanic tritium levels, even far from the discharge site, are minimal—even under future climate change scenarios.
