Abstract

Low level measurements of137Cx in lacustrine sediment and its pore water are possible to activity as low as ≃ 10 mBq. From this data, the flux of137Cs through the sediment and to the bottom water can be estimated. The value of the diffusion coefficient in the pore water follows from separate radiotracer experiments.
