Mass flux analysis of 137Cs plumes emitted from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant

The flow vectors of radioactive cesium-137 (137Cs) plume emitted from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011 were quantitatively depicted by a mass flux analysis in this study. 137Cs plumes were calculated by an Eulerian dispersion model with a 3-km horizontal resolution. The vertic...
