摘要
Air filters and fallout samples from the Chernobyl accident have been investigated by beta-analysis for the determination of the Cs-137/Sr-90 ratio and the absolute Sr-90 activity. Gamma-spectroscopic data from May 1986 have been used for the calculation of the Ba-140/Cs-137 ratio and the absolute Ba-140 activity. The observed ratio in the samples is approximately the same as in the core of the damaged reactor It is concluded that gamma-spectroscopic measurements of Ba-140 and the reactor core ratio of Ba-140/Sr-90 can be used for the estimation of the strontium activity in the fallout immediately after an accident. The Cs-137/Sr-90 ratio can be used for the estimation of the strontium fallout in the late post-accident period.
