| Özet |
| The radioactivity contamination of marine waters and coastal ocean is a major concern in many countries due to the development of nuclear facilities including nuclear power plants, fuel reprocessing plants and waste disposal installations [1]. In addition, the fallouts from nuclear accidents (Chernobly and Fukushima) and nuclear weapon testing have resulted in the release of many radionuclides into aquatic environments. Among the many radionuclides, radioactive cesium (137Cs; T1/2= 30.2 years) is present in fallout and also commonly found in nuclear waste.The bioaccumulation, depuration and biokinetics of many radionuclides including 137Cs in aquatic organisms have been studied in the literature [2-13]. The present study reports an experimental study to the rates of uptake and loss of 137Cs by mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) exposed over one month to radioactive contaminated sea water. |
