Concentrations of Cs-137 in Sediment and Waters of Buyuk Menderes River and Dilek Peninsula Buyuk Menderes Delta

Abstract

In this study were determined the concentrations of Cs-137 in sediment and waters collected from Buyuk Menderes River and Dilek Peninsula Buyuk Menderes Delta in coast of Aegean Sea for seasonally using by gamma spectrometry. The concentrations of Cs-137 in sediment and surface water samples varies between 0.35 +/- 0.03 and 1.30 +/- 0.15 Bq kg(-1), 1.10 +/- 0.12 and 1.85 +/- 0.16 Bq m(-3), respectively.
