Vertical distributions of 226Ra, 228Ra, and 137Cs activities in the southwestern part of the Sea of Okhotsk

We collected 14 water column seawater samples in the southwestern part of the Sea of Okhotsk and employed low-background γ-spectrometry with convenient minimal radiochemical processing to determine the activities of 226Ra (half-life t1/2 = 1600 y), 228Ra (5.75y), and 137Cs (30.2 y) of the samples. A...
