Disproportionately High Contributions of 60 Year Old Weapons-137Cs Explain the Persistence of Radioactive Contamination in Bavarian Wild Boars

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2023
Radionuclides released from nuclear accidents or explosions pose long-term threats to ecosystem health. A prominent example is wild boar contamination in central Europe, which is notorious for its persistently high 137Cs levels. However, without reliable

Decontamination of actual radioactive wastewater containing 137Cs using bentonite as a natural adsorbent: equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamic studies

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Batch adsorption treatment using Iraqi bentonite as a natural adsorbent was adopted in this study to decontaminate actual 137Cs radioactive wastewater from the Al-Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center, located south of Baghdad.

Determination, Separation and Application of 137Cs: A Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
In the context of the rapid development of the world’s nuclear power industry, it is necessary to establish background data on radionuclides of different samples from different regions, and the premise of obtaining such basic data is to have a series of ...

Decadal trends in 137Cs concentrations in the bark and wood of trees contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Understanding the actual situation of radiocesium (137Cs) contamination of trees caused by the Fukushima nuclear accident is essential for predicting the future contamination of wood.

Determination of Characteristic vs Anomalous 135Cs/137Cs Isotopic Ratios in Radioactively Contaminated Environmental Samples.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2021
A contamination with the ubiquitous radioactive fission product 137Cs cannot be assigned per se to its source. We used environmental samples with varying contamination levels from various parts of the world to establish their characteristic 135Cs/137Cs ...

An evaluation of the occurrence and trends in 137Cs and 40K radioactivity in King Bolete Boletus edulis mushrooms in Poland during 1995–2019

open access: yesEnvironmental science and pollution research international, 2021
B. edulis, collected from 33 forested or woodland sites across Poland over 25 years since 1995, were analysed for radiocaesium. The results (137Cs activity range: 25 to 10,000 Bq kg-1 dry weight) provide a good indication of artificial radioactivity in ...

Radioactivity of Soil in Croatia II: 137Cs, 40K, and Absorbed Dose Rate

open access: yesArhiv za Higijenu Rada i Toksikologiju, 2021
We took samples of uncultivated soil from the surface layer (0–10 cm) at 138 sites from all over Croatia and measured their radionuclide activity concentrations with high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry.

New predictions of 137Cs dynamics in forests after the Fukushima nuclear accident

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Most of the area contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident is covered by forest. In this paper, we updated model predictions of temporal changes in the 137Cs dynamics using the latest observation data and newly provided maps of ...
