Abstract

The concentrations of radionuclides in deposits from the Sava River were determined by gamma-ray spectrometry. Thirteen nuclear reactor radionuclides and eight naturally occurring radionuclides were determined. The site specific activity levels of the Sava River deposits were assessed. The results of measurements show that the radioactivity of the Sava River deposits is due to naturally occurring radionuclides and an elevated concentration of artificial radionuclides such as radiocesium and radioruthenium.
