Abstract

Radionuclides from water samples from the Chernobyl exclusion zone were studied for anthropogenic radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr. Tritium levels remained below detection limits. For comparison, a sample of mollusk shells from the cooling pond of the NPP has been included into the study, which were found to accumulate 90Sr by a factor of 600 from the surrounding water. The highest contamination in water has been found in water from the channel to the NPP (8.0 Bq/kg for 137Cs, 4.1 Bq/kg for 90Sr), followed by the cooling pond and water from the Pripyat river bay. Activity concentrations of 90Sr and 137Cs in water generally decrease with increasing distance, however, at the same time, the 90Sr/137Cs activity ratio was found to increase.
