Migration and Distribution Fluxes of Plutonium Radioisotopes in Coastal Semiclosed Marine Areas
Journal: Oceanology
Year: 2023

The article presents the results of a quantitative determination of the migration and distribution fluxes of plutonium radioisotopes 239 + 240Pu in coastal semiclosed marine ecosystems from a case study example of Sevastopol Bay (Black Sea) to assess the self-purification of water masses from 239 + 240Pu. The assessment was based on a study of the current (2018–2021) levels of the activity concentration of 239 + 240Pu in water, bottom sediments, perennial brown macroalgae, and benthic fish. It h
