Description

The purpose of this study was to estimate the transfer of certain nuclides - 210Pb and its granddaughter 210Po, sup(239+240)Pu, 238Pu and 137Cs - from the catchment to Brotherswater. Headings are: introduction (origin of radionuclides); Brotherswater, the lake and its catchment; methods (physical parameters; sampling; analysis); results (soil samples; lake sediment cores; water samples; vegetation); an inventory of radionuclides in Brotherswater and its catchment; discussion; conclusions.
