Abstract

The classical solid/liquid distribution coefficient, K d, for radionuclides in water–sediment systems is dependent on many parameters such as flow, geology, pH, acidity, alkalinity, total hardness, radioactivity concentration, etc. in a region. Considerations of all these effects require a regional analysis with an effective methodology, which has been based on the concept of the cumulative semivariogram concept in this paper. Although classical K d calculations are punctual and cannot represent regional pattern, in this paper a regional calculation methodology is suggested through the use of Absolute Point Cumulative Semi Variogram ( APCSV) technique. The application of the methodology is presented for 137Cs and 90Sr measurements at a set of points in Keban Dam reservoir, Turkey.
