Abstract
Plutonium in wet and dry deposition samples collected monthly at the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS), Daejeon, Korea was determined during the period from January 2000 to August 2000. Monthly 239,240Pu deposition in Korea showed a maximum in the spring season (March to May), which was several times greater than that in Japan and corresponds to a seasonal cycle of soil dust fallout originating from the East Asian arid areas. The trajectory analysis of dust storms suggests that 239,240Pu deposition in Korea in spring is originating from plutonium-bearing surface soil particles from the East Asian arid areas. A significant part of the 239,240Pu deposition in spring in Korea is attributable to dry deposition.
