Analysis of sediment samples for cesium-137 from a wide range of positions
have demonstrated an uneven distribution. The causes, pathways and the
possible origin of the radionuclide are discussed. The importance of the
sedimentation processes for the distribution pattern is demonstrated. The
mean values of the upper centimetre of the bottom sediment are between non
detectable and eight becquerel per kilo dry weight.
