Concentration factors of caesium-137 in river sediment

Tabulated results are presented from a 6-year study on the concentration factors for the radioactive isotope, caesium-137, in sediments at 2 sites in the Danube river, 20 km apart. There was no statistically significant difference between the results from the 2 sites. It was concluded that sediment...

Description
Summary:Tabulated results are presented from a 6-year study on the concentration factors for the radioactive isotope, caesium-137, in sediments at 2 sites in the Danube river, 20 km apart. There was no statistically significant difference between the results from the 2 sites. It was concluded that sediment could be used as a reliable indicator of radioactive contamination of rivers.
