Journal ArticleDOI
Long-range tropospheric transport of uranium and plutonium weapons fallout from Semipalatinsk nuclear test site to Norway.
C. C. Wendel,L. Keith Fifield,Deborah Oughton,Ole Christian Lind,Lindis Skipperud,Jerzy Bartnicki,Stephen G. Tims,Steinar Høibråten,Brit Salbu +8 more
TL;DR: The present work shows that direct tropospheric transport of fallout from atmospheric nuclear detonations periodically may have had much larger influence on radionuclide air concentrations and deposition than previously anticipated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of an aluminium-26 tracer to study the deposition of aluminium species on fish gills following mixing of limed and acidic waters
TL;DR: The hypothesis that Al on fish gills arises from polymerization of low molecular weight species and that, within mixing zones, the high molecular weightspecies do not play a significant role in the precipitation of Al onto the gill surface is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radioactive contamination in the environment of the nuclear enterprise ‘Mayak’ PA. Results from the joint Russian-Norwegian field work in 1994
G.C. Christensen,G.N. Romanov,Per Strand,Brit Salbu,S.V. Malyshev,T.D.S. Bergan,Deborah Oughton,E.G. Drozhko,Y. V. Glagolenko,I. Amundsen,Anne Liv Rudjord,T.O. Bjerk,B. Lind +12 more
TL;DR: The joint Russian-Norwegian field work in 1994 was of a limited extent, and was not designed to include a complete mapping of the environmental contamination around the plant, but the results are in good agreement with the very extensive previous Russian investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cesium‐134 as a Tracer to Study Particle Transport Processes within a Small Catchment with a Buffer Zone
TL;DR: The study demonstrates the benefit of utilizing 134Cs2+ tracer for investigating transport pathways for contaminated partic1les within a hillslope system without disturbing the surface soil system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemical behaviour of 137Cs and 90Sr in the artificial reservoirs of Mayak PA, Russia
Per Strand,Justin Brown,Evgeniy G. Drozhko,Yu. Mokrov,Brit Salbu,Deborah Oughton,G.C. Christensen,I. Amundsen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the levels of 90Sr and 137Cs in water, sediment and biota samples for two industrial reservoirs in the Mayak PA area, thus allowing a biogeochemical assessment of the behaviour of radionuclides in the system.
