Fate Of Some Common Radionuclides Found In Dardanelle Lake, David M. Chittenden Ii

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).

Concentrations of the nuclides ⁹⁰Sr - ⁹⁰Y, ¹⁴⁴Ce - ¹⁴⁴Pr, ¹³⁷Cs, ³⁸Co, ¹¹⁰ͫAg, ¹⁴¹Ce and ⁸⁹Sr have been measured monthly since November, 1975. The results from the period September, 1976, to August, 1977, depend on the relative intensities of the sources of the radionuclides; emissions from Nuclear I, the Chinese nuclear tests of Fall, 1976, and fallout from older atmospheric tests.
