Description
To evaluate potential impact of radioactive emissions of Cernavoda NPP on the environment, preliminary investigations on the radioactivity in the area and surroundings were carried out. Consequently the concentration of H-3 was determined in vine (leaves and sap) and viticulture products (grapes and wine) and the concentrations of K-40, Cs-137 and Sr-90 were measured in soil, surface water and aquatic sediments. The corresponding specific activities are generally characteristic for areas less contaminated by Chernobyl nuclear accident (except the northern area of Dobrogea where the Chernobyl fallout has produced a rather high contamination of the environment). For tritium, the results show values fitted in the range of natural background. (author)
