Description
Annual radioecological monitoring of gamma emitter radionuclides in the environment of the 19 French nuclear power plants (NPPs) has been conducted since 1992. We review here the results of analyses of terrestrial mosses (1992 and 1993), which are considered to be the best indicators of atmospheric radioactive contamination. Our intention is to trace the different origins of radionuclides present in the terrestrial environment of these French NPPs: fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests (137Cs), fallout from the Chernobyl accident (134Cs, 137Cs) and fallout from atmospheric wastes (58Co, 60Co, 134Cs, 137Cs) from NPPs. 4 figs
