Soluble and particle-associated fallout radionuclides in Mediterranean water and sediments
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5797618
From measurements in Mediterranean seawater and sediments, fallout /sup 137/Cs, /sup 90/Sr, and /sup 239/ /sup 240/Pu behaved mostly as soluble nuclides tracing Mediterranean water movement, whereas /sup 55/Fe and /sup 241/Am behaved more as particle-associated nuclides and were relatively rapidly removed to the sediments. Patterns of nuclide distribution within sediments showed depths of penetration in the order /sup 55/Fe > (/sup 239/ /sup 240/Pu, /sup 137/Cs) > /sup 241/Am and were thought to result from biological mixing on nuclides whose arrival rates varied in the same order.
