Abstract

A simple method of collecting samples and an apparatus for the preparation and activity measurement of atmospheric carbon dioxide is described. Using this technique of sample collection, preparation and gas purification, the time for the purification of carbon dioxide for carbon-14 activity measurement was about 6 hr.

The carbon-14 activities observed in the atmosphere around the nuclear-electric power-station at Trnava during autumn 1967 (before its starting) are presented.

Long-term radiocarbon variation studies in the air and tree rings of Slovakia
2024, Journal of Environmental Radioactivity
Fifty-five years of radiocarbon variation studies are reviewed with an emphasis on a better understanding of the impacts of the Bohunice nuclear power plant and fossil fuel CO₂ on the atmosphere and biosphere of Slovakia. The maximum Δ¹⁴C levels in the air up to about 1200‰ were observed during the 1970s at the Žlkovce monitoring station, which after 2005 decreased to <30‰. A relative decrease in the atmospheric Δ¹⁴C levels due to increasing levels of fossil CO₂ in the atmosphere has also been significant, for example, in Bratislava down to about −330‰, but after 2005 they were only <50‰ below the Jungfraujoch European clean-air level. The tree-ring data, averaging the annual Δ¹⁴C levels for several stations in Slovakia, have been in agreement with the atmospheric data, as well as with the newly established clean-air station at Jasná in central Slovakia. Future ¹⁴C levels will depend strongly on fossil CO₂ levels in the atmosphere, which will change the bomb ¹⁴C era to the fossil CO₂ era. New investigations of ¹⁴C variations in the atmosphere-biosphere-hydrosphere compartments represent a great challenge for radiocarbon science, important for better understanding of environmental processes, climate change, and impacts of human activities on the total environment. This new era of radiocarbon research will also need new developments in radiocarbon analytical technologies, as further progress in accuracy and precision of results (<1‰) will be needed to meet the new radiocarbon challenges.

Radiocarbon and <sup>137</sup>Cs dating of wines
2020, Journal of Environmental Radioactivity
Citation Excerpt :
The results of Δ14C measurements in wines from the Tokaj region show very good agreement with atmospheric regional data depicted by Hua et al. (2013) for the Northern Hemisphere (Fig. 2). They are also in very good agreement with previously analyzed Georgian wines (Burchuladze et al., 1989), as well as with Δ14C measurements in atmospheric carbon dioxide carried out in Bratislava from 1967 (Fig. 3) (Povinec et al., 1968, 1986b; 2008a,b, 2009a, 2012; Sýkora et al., 2017). The Δ14C results of two recent Slovak wines fit well the Bratislava 14CO2 atmospheric curve.
Wine dating methods based on anthropogenic ¹⁴C and ¹³⁷Cs, as well as on the cosmogenic ¹⁴C were studied with the aim to improve the accuracy and precision of the dating results. While the ¹⁴C dating method has proved to be useful for dating young and old wines, the ¹³⁷Cs has been effective for dating of wines originating around the ¹³⁷Cs bomb-peak observed in 1963. A new method was developed for simultaneous ¹⁴C and ¹³⁷Cs dating of wines, which helped to distinguish wines originating before or after the bomb peak. The δ¹³C values also helped to solve the ¹⁴C age ambiguity in dating of wines around the ¹⁴C bomb peak. While the ¹⁴C dating method is always destructive one, the ¹³⁷Cs method may use a radiochemical separation of cesium from wine samples when better precision of results is required, but it can be also a nondestructive one with direct gamma-spectrometry of wine samples, especially those that are very rare.
Analysis of environmental radionuclides
2020, Handbook of Radioactivity Analysis: Volume 2: Radioanalytical Applications
Environmental radionuclides (primordial, radiogenic, cosmogenic, and anthropogenic), their sources and presence in environmental compartments (atmosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere, and biosphere), and methods of analysis using radiometric and mass spectrometry methods are reviewed. Great progress has been made both in radioanalytical aspects and in environmental radioactivity studies either for radioecological purposes or in applications of radionuclides as tracers of processes in the atmosphere–hydrosphere–pedosphere–biosphere ecosystems. The analytical methods include sample preparation, separation chemistry, and applications of radiometric methods (alpha, beta, and gamma spectrometry), as well as low-energy mass spectrometry (mainly inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) and accelerator mass spectrometry. Large-scale radionuclide investigations are discussed for assessment of impacts of nuclear industries on the total environment, as well as for better understanding of their transport in the environmental compartments. Emphasis is given on new radioanalytical technologies, which would further increase detection sensitivities, thus opening doors for new environmental studies, including climate change investigations, which represent one of the most important challenges for the future environmental radioactivity research.
Anthropogenic <sup>137</sup>Cs on atmospheric aerosols in Bratislava and around nuclear power plants in Slovakia
2018, Journal of Environmental Radioactivity
Citation Excerpt :
Results on radioactivity studies around NPPs were published by several authors. The studies included various radionuclides, such as tritium (Janovics et al., 2014), 14C (Milton et al., 1995; Molnár et al., 2007; Obelić et al., 1986; Povinec et al., 1968, 1986, 2009), 60Co (Djingova and Kuleff, 2002), 137Cs (Ilacqua et al., 2003; Lujanienė et al., 2009; Thinova and Trojek, 2009), iodine and plutonium isotopes (Duffa and Fréchou, 2003) in different environments around NPPs. The main reservoirs of 137Cs in the present days are soils and vegetation, which took the 137Cs from the soil, where it was deposited in the past, mainly due to global fallout and the Chernobyl accident.
Nuclear power plants (NPPs) have been one of the sources of anthropogenic radionuclides in the environment. This work combines the results from monitoring stations around NPPs in Slovakia (Mochovce and Jaslovské Bohunice) and academic measurements at the Comenius University campus in Bratislava. Most of the atmospheric ¹³⁷Cs in this region come from the resuspension of the Chernobyl-derived ¹³⁷Cs, as well as caesium produced during nuclear weapons testing. By comparison of the obtained results at NPPs with Bratislava data, radiation impacts of the NPPs on the local environments have been estimated to be negligible.

Citation Excerpt :
Radiocarbon [1–5] and gamma-ray spectrometry laboratories [6–9] have been in operation at the Comenius University in Bratislava for over forty years focusing on investigations of long-lived cosmogenic radionuclides (e.g. in wine samples [10,11], in tree-rings [12,13], in lunar samples and meteorites [14–18]), as well as studying anthropogenic radionuclides in the environment [19,20].
An Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) laboratory has been established at the Centre for Nuclear and Accelerator Technologies (CENTA) at the Comenius University in Bratislava comprising of a MC-SNICS ion source, 3 MV Pelletron tandem accelerator, and an analyzer of accelerated ions. The preparation of targets for ¹⁴C and ¹²⁹I AMS measurements is described in detail. The development of AMS techniques for potassium, uranium and thorium analysis in radiopure materials required for ultra-low background underground experiments is briefly mentioned.
