Abstract

Spatial distribution of oceanic ¹²⁹I inventory presented here is based on collection of data from published literatures coupled with model calculation using ArcGIS software tools. A total of 363 thiessen polygons were created for the oceans in order to cover the tremendous variability in distribution of ¹²⁹I data range. The results indicate that total ¹²⁹I oceanic inventory is approximately 7310 kg, which is mainly stored in the region of the North Atlantic and the Arctic Oceans. The concentrations of ¹²⁹I in the oceans are 3–4 orders of magnitude higher than the pre-anthropogenic level reflecting effects of post 1945 anthropogenic activities.
