Abstract

The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor occurred on 26th April 1986. Forty-nine pollen traps deployed in the Jotunheimen-Jostedalsbreen region in July and August 1985, and collected in the following summer of 1986, provided an unforeseen opportunity to obtain data on the level of radionuclide deposition in the region. This note reports 137Cs activity levels in the traps, which averaged 503 mBq. Cm−2 and exhibited great variability, ranging from 17 to 1983 mBq. cm−2.
