Chernobyl radioactivity persists in fish
After the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in 1986, the concentration of radioactive caesium (134Cs and 137Cs) in fish was expected to decline rapidly. The estimated ecological half-life (the time needed to reduce the average caesium concentration by 50%) was 0.3 to 4.6 years,. Since 1986,...

| description | After the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in 1986, the concentration of radioactive caesium (134Cs and 137Cs) in fish was expected to decline rapidly. The estimated ecological half-life (the time needed to reduce the average caesium concentration by 50%) was 0.3 to 4.6 years,. Since 1986, we have measured radiocaesium in brown trout (Salmo trutta) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus), both of which are widely eaten in Scandinavia, in a lake contaminated by Chernobyl fallout,. We have measured radiocaesium in nearly 4,000 fish, taking samples 2-4 times every year from spring to autumn. We find that the decline in radiocaesium was initially rapid for 3-4 years and was then much slower. About 10% of the initial peak radioactivity declines with an ecological half-life of as long as 8-22 years. |
