Abstract:The amounts of cobalt-60 and caesium-137 bound in the sediment in a bay off the Studsvik research station were determined. Of the cumulative released activity during 22 years, 19% of 60Co and 1.8% of 137Cs were found in the sediments within an area of 23 km2. The rate of input through sedimentation and the loss rate through physical decay were of the same order in 1981 and were close to steady state for 60Co while for 137Cs they had only reached 30% of that level. The sedimentation coefficients calculated for the bay were 6·5 year−1 for 60Co and 0·49 year−1 for 137Cs, higher values than many published previously. Cobalt-60 seemed to precipitate close to the outlet and to migrate near the bottom as bed-load.
