Abstract

The238Pu,239,240Pu and137Cs concentrations in sediments and shore deposition samples of the Vltava river were determined.239,240Pu and137Cs concentrations in sediment samples (five locations) ranged from 19.6 to 124.8 mBq·kg−1 and from 1.8 to 28.2 Bq·kg−1, respectively. The238Pu,239,240Pu and137Cs concentrations in shore deposition samples (four locations) ranged from 2 to 16.8, from 26.8 to 477.2 mBq·kg−1, and from 1.6 to 86.3 Bq·kg−1, respectively. The superficial activity of studied radionuclides in shore deposition areas was determined and radionuclide origin at studied locations was discussed.
