Abstract

Many mushrooms from Austria collected between May 25 and September 21, 1987 were analyzed for137Cs and134Cs by γ-spectroscopy one year after the reactor accident at Chernobyl. The following concentrations /nCi kg−1 wet weight/ were found:137Cs 0.4–43.2 nCi kg−1,134Cs 0.1–16.4 nCi kg−1. The concentration of cesium isotopes in Cantharellus cibarius /Klagenfurt/ and Xerocomus badius /Upper-Austria, Mühlviertel/ were considerably higher than the tolerance level /5 nCi kg−1/.
