“…This indicated that release of (90)Sr from the power plant was ongoing even in May 2013, as was that of (134)Cs and (137)Cs. (90)Sr activities measured at open ocean sites corresponded to background derived from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing fallout. The FDNPP site-derived (90)Sr/(137)Cs activity ratios in seawater were much higher than those in the direct discharge event in March 2011, in river input, and in seabed sediment; those ratios showed large variability, ranging from 0.16 to 0.64 despite a short sampling period. …”
