Unprecedented amounts of radionuclides were released from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident and widespread radioactive contamination in the environment has occurred. The 238Pu, 239+240Pu, 241Am, 242Cm and 243+244Cm concentrations in seafloor surface sediments collected at three sampling stations off the FDNPP site during 2012-2020 were determined to elucidate the impacts of the FDNPP accident onto their concentrations in coastal sediments. The 239+240Pu, 241Pu and 241Am concentrations and 240Pu/239Pu atom ratios in a sediment core were also determined to identify the Pu sources.
