Description
The concentrations of 134Cs and 137Cs in eel after the Chernobyl accident in 1986 were analyzed from nine lakes and two rivers during 1986-1992 in different parts of the country. The ratio of 134Cs to 137Cs was in 1986 about 0.5 but decreased gradually to 0.09 in 1992. In the same area the concentrations of 137Cs increased slower in the eel than in the other fish species. The highest concentrations of 137Cs (350-3760 Bq/kg fresh weight) in eel were detected in small oligotrophic lakes in the area of the highest deposition four to five years after the accident.
