Density variation of Cs-137 activity in surface soil from the King George Island

The behavior of radiocaesium from the nuclear tests conducted in the southern hemisphere was evaluated and their behavior was estimated on the floor of King George Island. Based on the findings made by several authors, was estimated at 4.5 years the time of semi-exhaustion for Cs-137 accumulated in...

Description
Summary:The behavior of radiocaesium from the nuclear tests conducted in the southern hemisphere was evaluated and their behavior was estimated on the floor of King George Island. Based on the findings made by several authors, was estimated at 4.5 years the time of semi-exhaustion for Cs-137 accumulated in the region since 1993. El comportamiento del radiocesio procedente de los ensayos nucleares realizados en el hemisferio sur fue evaluado y se estimó su comportamiento en el suelo de la Isla Rey Jorge. En base a los resultados obtenidos por varios autores, se estimó en 4,5 años el tiempo de semiagotamiento para el Cs-137 acumulado en la región desde 1993.
