AB  - In order to measure low-activity radioactive environmental samples, both in liquid and solid phases, the use of Marinelli (reentrant) beakers is recommended. Standards were prepared by mixing of standardized radioactive solutions with CaCO3 of density 1.1 to 1.3 g cm(-3), similar to densities of environmental samples. Measurements of calibrated Marinelli comparator standards on detector surface showed that the dependence of log Eff vs. log E is almost linear in the 120 keV to 1500 keV range. The data can be fitted more accurately by assuming a parabolic correlation (log Eff vs. log E). The validity of these standards was checked by determining the concentration of radio-europium, radio-cesium and Ra-226 in three certified reference standard materials. The results obtained agreed well with the published certified data. The limit of detection for the determination of radio-cesium by gamma-ray spectrometry under the prevailing experimental conditions is 0.1 Bq (2.7 pCi), for 0.5 kg of environmental samples.

Thereafter, lognormality for natural radionuclide concentration frequency distribution was accepted with a high probability. The log-normal natural radionuclide distribution in sediments and coal-ash indicated single population groups. The anthropogenic modifications of the natural radionuclide concentrations in the environment are indicated. The adsorbed dose rates, in mGy y(-1), in air from gamma field of the natural radionuclides were calculated.

AB  - Statistical tests were performed on the gamma-spectrometry measurement data obtained during the last decade for the natural radionuclides K-40, Ra-226 and Th-232, in water samples collected from the Danube River, the Sava River and its tributaries, ground waters and artificial lakes. The lognormal radiopotassium distribution indicates a single statistical population. The presence of break points in the frequency distribution plots indicates that data for Ra-226 and Th-232 do not come from a single statistical population. The annual ingestion of K-40, Ra-226 and Th-232 was calculated and expressed in Bq y(-1).

AB  - The concentrations of the fission radionuclide Cs-137, an activation radionuclide Cs-134 and the naturally occurring radionuclides K-40, Ra-226 and Th-232 were measured by gamma spectrometry in the sediment and water samples collected from the Grliska artificial lake and its tributaries. The deposition of radiocesium per square meter of sediments ranged from 2799 to 6158 Bq/m(2). The total gamma activity of sediments appeared to be due to all determined radionuclides with a major contribution of the naturally occurring radiopotassium. Activity ratio Cs-134/Cs-137 recalculated to April 1986 showed that radiocesium in the Grliska impoundment environment originated from the Chernobyl fallout. Radionuclide partitioning coefficients were calculated in order to explain their transport/retardation in the Grliska impoundment ecosystem. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

AB  - This study relates to two discrete areas of radiocarbon geochemistry: (1) Recent work has questioned the assumed constancy of natural radiocarbon concentrations over short time intervals and annual atmospheric C-14 concentrations have therefore been studied through analysis of single tree rings. (2) In the Clyde sea area a large excess of fossil carbon from fuels and industrial wastes has been deposited, thus diluting natural C-14 concentrations and producing abnormally old ages near surface sediments. Radiocarbon analysis of sediments enables fossil carbon pollution indices to be estimated for the Clyde sea area. In addition, points of radiocarbon inversion in sediment profiles are consistent with commencement of large-scale industrial pollution of the area around 200 years ago. A source of natural fossil carbon in the area is also evident.
