  1. 16. Resultat av tjugofem års mätningar av Cs-137-halter i älg i Uppsala län

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Robert Weimer; [2011]
    Keywords : cesium; älg; radioekologi; strålning; Tjernobylolyckan; älgkött; Heby;

    Abstract : At the end of April 1986 reactor number 4 of the nuclear power plant at Chernobyl explod-ed and large amounts of radioactive particles were then released into the atmosphere due to both the explosion as well as the consecutive fire of the graphite core. A cloud of radioac-tivity was spread over the northern hemisphere, including Sweden, due to the prevailing wind directions. READ MORE

    Abstract : 24 years have passed since the Chernobyl accident when radionuclides were spread over largeareas of Europe, including the Scandinavian countries. Today, measurable activities of 137Csare still observed in many Swedish ecosystems. READ MORE

  4. 18. Downward migration and transfer to plants of radiocaesium in Scottish soil profiles : a comparison with earlier studies

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Kristin Thored; [2010]
    Keywords : Radiocaesium; migration rate; migration depth; transfer factors; deposition; Scotland;

    Abstract : Following the accident at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl in 1986, great volumes of137Cs were distributed over large parts of the former Soviet Union and Europe. Over Scotland,radiocaesium was deposited as wet deposition. READ MORE

  5. 19. Uptake of 137Cs by fungi and plants due to potassium fertilization in Heby municipality in response to the Chernobyl nuclear accident

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Therèse Nilsson; [2009]
    Keywords : Radiocaesium; 137Cs; potassium; potassium fertilization; forest plants; fungi; ; countermeasure; Chernobyl nuclear accident;

    Abstract : The fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear accident resulted in large deposits of caesium, iodine and strontium as well as noble gases in various parts of Sweden. 137Cs has a radioactive halflife of about 30 years and is therefore one of few radio-fission products remaining in measurable quantities in the Swedish soil.

  6. 20. The influence of soil properties on the transfer of 137Cs from soil to plant : results from a field study 21 years after the Chernobyl accident

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Maja Larsson; [2008]
    Keywords : caesium; 137Cs; radioactive fallout; Chernobyl; field study; plant uptake; soil; soil-plant transfer;

    Abstract : 137Cs is one of a few radio contaminants from the Chernobyl accident in 1986 that is left in measurable quantities in Sweden. The hazardous radionuclide has a physical half-life of 30 years and enters easily into biological systems. Several studies have been performed on 137Cs and its behaviour in different ecosystems since the fallout. READ MORE
