Abstract
Radionuclides discharged from La Hague is used to trace transport and dispersal of coastal water masses. A time-series of radionuclide measurements in water samples taken in the English Channel, at the Netherlands coast, in the German North Sea sector and in Danish waters is being performed. Rates of water transport, dilution of the coastal current with other water masses and transit times will be elucidated. Radionuclide ratios facilitate tracing of specific discharges in spite of dilution. This will contribute significantly to the knowledge of transit routes, transit times and mixing. The data will be used to improve models capable of describing the transport quantitatively. The results from the sampling programme will furthermore provide a unique data set for validating other models.
