The radionuclide cesium-137 (137Cs) is the greatest contributor to the level of artificial radionuclides in the Baltic Sea, where the level of 137Cs contamination is still higher than in any other ocean of the world. The main source of 137Cs deposited to the Baltic Sea stems from the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986.

The core indicator on caesium-137 in fish and surface waters addresses the Baltic Sea Action Plan's (HELCOM BSAP 2021) hazardous substances segment's ecological objective Minimal risk to humans and the environment from radioactivity.

The radionuclide cesium-137 (137Cs) is the greatest contributor to the level of artificial radionuclides in the Baltic Sea, where the level of 137 Cs contamination is still higher than in any other oceans of the world.

Radionuclide Basics: Cesium-137. Cesium (chemical symbol Cs) is a soft, flexible, silvery-white metal that becomes liquid near room temperature, but easily bonds with chlorides to create a crystalline powder. The most common radioactive form of cesium is Cs-137. Cesium-137 is produced by nuclear. for use in medical devices and gauges.

Cesium-137 is significant because of its prevalence, relatively long half life (30 years), and its potential effects on human health. Cesium-137 emits beta particles as it decays to the barium isotope, Ba-137m (half life = 2.6 minutes). How are people exposed to cesium-137? People may be exposed externally to gamma radiation emitted by cesium ...

The majority of the 100 PBq 137 Cs released during the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 was deposited over land. The total Chernobyl 137 Cs input to the world oceans has been estimated at about 16 PBq, with 10 PBq in the 30°–60° N latitude belt and 6 PBq in the 60°–90° N latitude belt (HELCOM 2013).Nearly all of the 137 Cs was deposited in the …

Cs-137 (Bq/m2) in the Baltic Sea sediments in 2007-2010 in different sampling stations [2]. The total inventory of artificial Cs-137 in the seabed of the Baltic Sea was estimated to be about 2 280 in 2010. The Bothnian Sea, the main accumulation basin for Chernobyl cesium, contains 58% of the total inventory as illustrated in figure 2.
