ABSTRACT

Long-term dynamics of 137Cs distribution over the organs and tissues of fishes occurring in the cooling pond of the Chernobyl NPS were studied after the accident in 1986. It has been found that 1−4 years later the differentiation of 137Cs content in the organs and tissues of fishes was maximal and remained rather stable. Until 2010, the highest specific activity of 137Cs was registered in fish muscles, whereas its lowest specific activity − in fish fat. In this case, other organs and tissues occupied the intermediate place.
