Abstract

Various mushrooms from Austria were analyzed for103Ru,137Cs and134Cs after the reactor accident at Chernobyl /19.6.–26.10. 1986/ by γ-spectroscopy. The following concentration (nCi/kg wet weight) values were found:103Ru 0.1–4 nCi/kg,137Cs 0.5–104 nCi/kg,134Cs 0.3–42 nCi/kg. The concentration of cesium isotopes in Cantharellus cibarius /lower Austria/, Leccinum scabrum /lower Austria/ and Xevocomus badius /lower Austria/ was considerably higher than in other mushroom samples.
