Holm, J. Rioseco, H. Pettersson] The deposition of transuranium elements in Sweden following the Chernobyl accident was investigated through the analysis of carpets of lichen-and moss-samples and also air-filters and precipitation. The impact of transuranium elements was small compared to that of radiocesium. The deposition of239+240Pu was, as for other actinides, inhomogeneously distributed and ranged from 0.1% to 100% of the inventory in 1986 from nuclear detonation tests. The activity ratio of239+240Pu/137Cs was between 10−3 and 10−6 in comparison to 10−2 for nuclear test fallout. The activity ratios of241Pu,242Cm,238Pu,243+244Am and239+240Pu were about 86, 14, 0.47, 0.14, and 0.13 respectively, but large variations were observed. The results from Sweden were compared with those found in South Finland, Denmark and Southern Europe. The deposition over Scandinavia originated from the initial explosion at Chernobyl, which contained relatively higher amounts of actinide elements than the second emission, which occurred a few days later and was a result of actions taken to bring the fire under control.
