Fate Of Some Common Radionuclides Found In Dardanelle Lake, David M. Chittenden Ii
Fate Of Some Common Radionuclides Found In Dardanelle Lake, David M. Chittenden Ii
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Four factors influence the concentrations of radionuclides in Dardanelle Lake water: injections due to fallout and discharge from Nuclear I coupled with losses due to decay, to dilution and to sedimentation. It is possible to estimate the first three factors and to measure monthly changes in the concentrations of Sr-89, Ce-141, Cs-137, Co-38, Ce-144, and Sr-90 - Y-90 during periods when the concentrations of these nuclides are abnormally high (after large releases or the Chinese weapons tests) or abnormally low (during reactor refueling).
