Abstract
Results of country-wide measurements of 137Cs and 134Cs in soil samples in Norway after the Chernobyl accident are reported. Preliminary estimates of the Chernobyl fall-out of some other ? emitters are also given. The results clearly demonstrate that certain areas in Norway have been rather heavily contaminated. The total fall-out of 137Cs and 134Cs in Norway is estimated to be 2300±200 TBq and 1200±100 TBq respectively. This is approximately 6% of the caesium activity released from the reactor.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
