摘要

The distribution of the anthropogenic radionuclide ~(241)Am, a decay product of ~(241)Pu discharged from atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons, was investigated to resolve its horizontal and vertical migration in the Tropical East Pacific. We analyzed ~(241)Am concentrations in seawater samples collected in 2003. On comparing the ~(241)Am concentrations with the previously determined concentrations of ~(239+240)Pu in samples, the vertical profiles of ~(241)Am were found to be similar to those of ~(239+240)Pu. At some stations, the maximum concentration of ~(241)Am occurred 100-200 m deeper than that of ~(239+240)Pu. The ~(241)Am/~(239+240)Pu ratios in the North Pacific and South Pacific were comparable to one another, and were the typical ratio for the Pacific. The ~(241)Am distribution was influenced by the water mass at depths below 400 m. The ~(241)Am data support the view there is a current flowing at depths of 400-3000 m from the North Pacific through the Equator to the South Pacific. In addition, the ~(241)Am vertical profile was explained by using a 1-D scavenging model that considers the decay of ~(241)Pu and adsorption and scavenging by suspended particles. The different depths for the maximum concentrations of ~(241)Am and ~(239+240)Pu observed at some stations were well explained by the model and by the distribution of CaCO_3 particles. The residence time of ~(241)Am in the Pacific was also estimated by using the model.
