Description

The Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy (IPEN) initiated the Environmental Radioactivity studies in the Antarctic Region in 1996. The objective of this research was to determine the levels of natural and artificial radioactivity achieving the evaluation of the radiological status in the antarctic region. Samples of brown algae (phaeophyta), lichens, moss, gramineous, soil, marine sediment, sea water and air were collected in the surrounding area of the Machu Picchu Scientific Station. This study shows the results corresponding to the 1999-2000 period
