Contribution of 137Cs-enriched particles to radiocesium concentrations in seafloor sediment: Reconnaissance experiment.

Autoradiography was used to detect 137Cs-enriched particles in sediment samples. The contributions of 137Cs-enriched particles to 137Cs concentrations in sediment samples ranged from 9% to 64%. These experiments revealed that the variability of 137Cs concentrations was due mainly to the heterogeneou...
