Abstract

Investigations of natural and artificial radioisotopes including90Sr,137Cs, gross β and U carried out in the Yellow Sea and adjacent southeast area in 1963, 1964, 1975 and 1978 showed that radioactive pollution by90Sr and137Cs from atmospheric fallout had gradually decreased with time due to the cessation of atmospheric nuclear weapons tests in the 70s. The distributions of natural and artificial radioactive isotopes (U, Ra, Th,40K and137Cs) in sediments southwest of Jizhou Island were uniform. The more uniform may be related to the soluble species of U[Uo2(Co3)4] in the seawater.
