- Abstract
- Coastal sediments from the northern Adriatic Sea were analyzed for Cs-137 and Cs-134 from the Chernobyl accident to better understand the transport and sedimentation processes in a marine area strongly influenced by the delivery the of suspended matter from the Po River. In particular, the suitability of Cs-137 as a tool for studying sediment accumulation rates was evaluated. Radionuclide distributions are determined by the influence of the river and the grain size composition that is a funciton of the hydrodynamic processes. With respect to pre-Chernobyl values, Cs-137 surficial activities were increased from 3 to 13 times, and inventories up to 3 times. Four types of Cs-137 activity-depth profiles were found, being representative of different combinations of sediment accumulation and radiotracer displacement within the surficial layers. At some sites, sediment accumulation rates of 1.6-1.8 cm y to the minus 1 caused the formation of a sub-surficial peak. At the other locations, the Chernobyl peak of Cs-137 was was still confined at the watersediment interface with some downward penetration due to mixing and diffusion. In general, molecular diffusion is the prevailing mechanism but the incidence of mixing is very significant at three sites (5871%). (literal)
