Description
The use of radionuclides in the study of physical, chemical, biological and geological processes in the Black Sea is discussed. A range of natural and man-made radionuclides are examined. Examples are taken from work at WHOI and from a variety of other international laboratories working in this area. An emphasis is given to those studies which are related to recent and ongoing IAEA activities in this region. Radionuclides which originated from the Chernobyl nuclear power station accident in 1986 are highlighted, given the proximity of the Black Sea to direct Chernobyl fallout and further inputs from riverine born radionuclides from the accident site.
