P2.5-121 Monitoring of Radiocesium Traces in Indonesian Waters and Lands As an Indicator of Nuclear Weapon Testing Activities This paper presents some of the results of monitoring activities for possible traces of radiocesium releases in Indonesian waters in order to anticipate the possibility of the entry of radiocesium releases originating from the nuclear accident at Fukushima. Anticipation is carried out in areas considered as the entrance of ocean currents from the northern part of the equator to Indonesian territory, on the west, and east coasts. While radioactivity on land is monitored from the presence of high radiation emission in some high natural background radiation (HNBR) areas. The data obtained can also be used to monitor nuclear weapons testing activities around Indonesia. The results show that the radiocesium data on the west coast has provided higher values than the data on the east coast due to different environmental conditions. However, traces of Cs-134 radioactivity as the primary indicator of nuclear accidents and nuclear weapons test activities were not found at all sampling locations (both at sea and on land). Therefore, from this data, it can be concluded that the radiocesium found in the region came from fallout, and no nuclear weapons testing activities were found in this region (Indonesian territory).
