Potential value of Cs-137 capsules [PDF]
, 1985 We determined the value of Cs-137 compared to Co-60 as a source for the irradiation of fruit (apples and cherries), pork and medical supplies. Cs-137, in the WESF capsule form, had a value of approximately $0.40/Ci as a substitute for Co-60 priced at approximately $1.00/Ci.

Soil fertilisation with Cs-137-contaminated and uncontaminated wood ash as a countermeasure to reduce Cs-137 uptake by forest plants [PDF]
, 2023 The purpose of present study was to find out whether wood ash with a high pH value and neutralizing capacity reduces Cs-137 uptake by forest plants many years after the radionuclide fallout. The effects of one-time point fertilisation with Cs-137-contaminated and uncontaminated wood ash alone or in combination with KCl on Cs-137 transfer from soil to ...

CS-137 CONTAMINATION IN WILD BOARS IN SESIA VALLEY, ITALY [PDF]
, 2013 Traces of cesium-137, well above the threshold set out in the Italian regulations, have been found in wild boars in the alpine area of the Sesia Valley, Piedmont, Italy. We analyzed samples of tongue and diaphragm of animals slaughtered during the hunting season 2012-2013 and in 27 of these the level of cesium was higher than the threshold specified by

Cs-137 in the natural environment of the Gorce Mountains (Poland) [PDF]
Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2014 Concentration of activity of Cs-137 and its spatial distribution in soils and lichen Hypogymnia physodes were determined in the Gorce Mts. (several hundred km2) in S Poland. The authors distinguished two areas of the Gorce Mts. on the basis of markedly different Cs-137 depositions, whose respective average values are 4.4 and 9.9 kBq/m2 as at 1st July ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident also contaminates lakes in Japan. Especially in closed lakes, there is a problem of prolonged low-level $$^{137}$$ 137 Cs contamination because the activity concentration of $$^{137}$$ 137 Cs declines ...

Quantification of soil erosion in the Alps : measurement and modeling [PDF]
, 2010 Alpine regions have a high potential for soil erosion associated to extreme climatic and topographic conditions. Because of aggressive development in the recent past, environmental damage enhanced by acid deposition, global warming and development ...

Stable and radiogenic isotopes as tracers for soil degradation [PDF]
, 2008 Soil erosion seriously threatens mountain slopes. Direct measurement of soil erosion in the field is difficult and needs long term recording. However, stable and radiogenic isotopes are potential tracers for soil erosion estimation and would enable a ...

Initial spread of 137Cs from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant over the Japan continental shelf: a study using a high-resolution, global-coastal nested ocean model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 The 11 March 2011 tsunami triggered by the M9 and M7.9 earthquakes off the Tōhoku coast destroyed facilities at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) leading to a significant long-term flow of the radionuclide 137Cs into coastal waters.

Energies, 2023 Removing the hazardous and unstable radioactive isotopes has been considered an arduous task, though they are in minimal concentrations. Cesium-137 (137Cs+) is a primary fission product produced by nuclear processes.

Variation of Cs-137 in California Coastal Sea Water [PDF]
Journal of Radiation Research, 1962 Repeated measurements of specimens of surface sea water taken at a single nearshore, coastal, sampling point fluctuated widely, from 0.046 to 0.23 mu mu C/l. The results were consistent with other measurements made off California, but much lower than those reported for the Western Pacific. (auth)
