    Abstract:
    This study revealed sedimentation processes based on 137Cs and 210Pb distribution, grain size and magnetic susceptibility of bottom sediments in West Nanao Bay, Japan. Surface sediment concentrations and inventories of these radionuclides were relatively low in the middle and eastern areas of the bay and high in the western area, which has several major river mouths, suggesting that the contribution of riverine input affected only the western area. In the middle and eastern areas, the level of 137Cs inventory was much lower than that of the soils, and the excess 210Pb inventory was at the same level or lower. These results indicate that removal effects are stronger than accumulation effects (riverine input) in these areas. The patterns of radionuclides were consistent with the results, that grain size was relatively large in the middle and eastern areas, implying strong current conditions, and that fine sediment accumulated less in these areas.
