Distribution of 89Sr and 90Sr in Slovenia, Yugoslavia, after the Chernobyl accident

Creators

Description

A survey of 89Sr and 90Sr measurements in rain and surface waters, plants, milk and soil in Slovenia following the Chernobyl accident is presented. The total inventory of each isotope deposited by rain is estimated at 5.7 kBq m-2. The activity ratio of 89Sr to 90Sr is 12. The maximum radiostrontium concentration in rain appeared during the period 3-5 May. It is estimated that most of the activity in plants resulted from direct absorption through the leaves. (author)
