The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident caused the release of radiocesium (134Cs and 137Cs) into the marine environment. From the short half-life (2.06 years) and soluble characteristics, 134Cs currently detected in seawater is derived from the FDNPP accident. 134Cs has partially transported from the FDNPP accident to southwestern Okhotsk Sea and off the Doto via. counterclockwise current in the North Pacific Ocean, the Kamchatka - Oyashio Current. We examined vertical profiles of 134Cs concentrations in these regions during 2020-2024 and discuss current systems in the Okhotsk Sea and out flow pattern to the Pacific Ocean side.
