- W3136379149 abstract "The Aare-Rhine river system with its four nuclear power plants on the banks of these rivers and with its intermediate lakes and reservoirs provide the unique chance to analyze the input of radioactivity into the system thereby furnishing information on the sources, to analyze the transport within the sediment and along the rivers, and to refine unsupported 210 Pb dating validated by known discharge maxima. At three locations (Lake Biel, Klingnau Reservoir, old branch of the Rhine) in the Aare and Rhine rivers system downstream of the older nuclear power plants (NPPs) Mühleberg and Beznau, the vertical distributions of 137 Cs, 210 Pb, 214 Pb, 214 Bi, 4 0 K, 7 Be, 239 Pu, 240 Pu, 241 Am, and 237 Np in sediment cores were determined. Depth-age relations using the excess 210 Pb were established with the raw and with the piecewise Constant Rate Supply (CRS) models. A comparison of the piecewise CRS method with the imprints of known discharges showed differences of up to two years. Besides typical 137 Cs signals (about 100 Bq∙kg −1 ) from the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing (NWT) and the Chernobyl fallouts, imprints of known 137 Cs discharges (10–70 Bq∙kg −1 ) from the NPPs were found in the sediments. The 237 Np distributions (6–10 Bq∙kg −1 ) essentially follow the 137 Cs NWT distributions. In the sediment downstream the NPP Mühleberg (Lake Biel) a 239 Pu distribution (<3 Bq∙kg −1 ) was found, which was solely due to the NWT fallout. Downstream the NPP Beznau (Klingnau Reservoir and an old branch of the Rhine), besides the NWT distribution, also imprints of 239 Pu discharges (up to 7 Bq∙kg −1 ) were found within the time interval 1963 to 1986. 240 Pu/ 239 Pu ratios revealed that the burn-up times of the nuclear fuel in the NPP ( 235 U enrichment of 3.5%), from which the discharges stem, should be about 1 year or less. A comparison between the calculated and the measured 137 Cs/ 239 Pu ratio revealed no large discrepancies for the Lake Biel and Rhine positions, but in the Klingnau distribution, the calculated 137 Cs/ 239 Pu ratio is one order of magnitude larger than the measured one. The reason could be either a natural uranium research reactor as the source, or strong, short-range 239 Pu precipitation after the discharge from the Beznau NPP. The largest 239 Pu peak in the Rhine sediment (1968/70) corresponds to no major peak in the Klingnau sediment. For the NPP Mühleberg discharge of 1982 the ratio of the 137 Cs deposition in sediments from Lake Biel, Klingnau Reservoir and the Rhine river is about 1 : 0.5 : 2.9. For the 1977/78 239 Pu deposition the ratio is 1 : 0.02, for the Klingnau Reservoir and the Rhine sediments, respectively. These numbers indicate a long-range transport of Cs and a rather short-range transport of Pu. • Unique study area: sediments downstream NPPs in a single river system. • Piecewise CRS depth-age relations verified (Δt < ±2 years) by known NPP discharges. • Several trans-uranium distributions measured; 237 Np established as proxy for NWT activity. • Nuclide activity ratios distinguish between NWT, Chernobyl and reactor activity. • Long-range Cs and short-range Pu transport along the river system recognized." @default.
