- Abstract
Vertical profiles of 137Cs in bottom sediments collected from various sites of the White Sea are reported. From these profiles, the 137Cs inventory in the bulk of sediment was estimated to be 270–3300 Bq m−2, and the surface contamination of sediment, 7.1–46.5 Bq kg−1. In the most of the sediment cores, 137Cs was detected to a depth of >20 cm. The highest activity of 137Cs was usually observed in the 1–2-cm layer. The mean specific radioactivity of 137Cs in the seawater was 4.1 Bq m−3.
