Abstract

U, Th and Ra isotopic activities have been measured in water and sediment samples collected over three years from the Guadalquivir river channel (South of Spain). The study of the radioactivity levels and activity ratios evolution in space and time has provided information on the behavior of the radionuclides mentioned above in the estuarine and non-estuarine zones of the river.
