Outside the continental shelf, at sampling points located at depths of 1700 m, 137 Cs was not detected in the deepest bodies of water (Figure 6). The dispersal of dissolved 17Cs therefore seems to be relatively slow as, 8 months after the introduction of 137 Cs into the surface waters, the fraction containing dissolved 137 Cs had not noticeably increased in the deepest layers.
