“…The 240 Pu/ 239 Pu mass ratio is depicted as a function of fuel burnup in a High-Power Channel-type (RBMK) reactor in Fig 6. The original data were published by Zaritskaya et al (1979). Two hot particle samples utilized in our study showed 240 Pu/ 239 Pu mass ratios of 0.33 AE 0.07 and 0.53 AE 0.03.…”

241 Am and 244 Cm were analysed from peat samples collected in Finland immediately after the Chernobyl accident. The separation method included co-precipitation, anion exchange and extraction chromatography. Activities of 241 Am and 244 Cm were measured by alpha spectrometry. The activity of Chernobyl-derived 241 Am varied between 0.0115 and 9.32 Bq/m 2 and that of 244 Cm from < 0.002 to 1.97 Bq/m 2 (reference date 1.5.1986). The origin of 241 Am in Finland is predominantly from atmospheric nuclear tests. However, the geographical distribution of Chernobylamericium is uneven and depending on a location even 100% of 241 Am in peat originated from the Chernobyl accident. The deposition pattern of Chernobyl-derived 241 Am and 244 Cm resembles that of other refractory nuclides, such as 95 Zr, 141 Ce and 239,240 Pu.
