Overview of Research

 
     
Measures radionuclides contained in fishery products, etc.   Conducts bioassay tied up with field surveys.   Collects and disseminates literature and information.   Rears and breeds experimental organisms.
             
     
Analyses the results of environmental and biological monitoring surveys in the sea areas around power plants.   Investigates the growth and maturation of marine organisms based on long-term rearing and culture using thermal effluents.   Investigates the effects of trace chemicals on marine organisms.   Conducts research to understand the impact of entrainment and impingement in power plant on fishery resources.
             
       
Investigates radionuclides contained in fish and shellfish, seawater and sediments at the main fishing grounds located near nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel cycle facilities.   Studies technologies for prevent marine biofouling in power plants.   Investigates the effects of thermal effluents on fish behavior by tracking fish in the waters adjacent to power plants and the net cage experiments.
             
     
Develops prediction methods of assessment for marine ecosystem.   Investigates the effects of thermal effluents on algae and benthos.   Addresses issues such as eutrophication and deoxygenation in sea areas.   Conducts research on the effects of climate change-induced ocean warming and acidification on marine organisms.
             
           
Exhibits materials to help visitors understand more about the thermal effluent and its effects.
