Abstract: A radioactivity survey program was launched in 1983 to determine the background levels of artificial radionuclides, such as ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs in the marine environment off commercial nuclear power stations. In this paper, we report on the long-term temporal changes of ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs in seawater, bottom sediment and marine organism samples. Both ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs have been detected since the beginning of the program in the seawater samples.
