Description
Summary:The paper focuses on an analysis of the results of long-term monitoring of the concentrations of super( 137)Cs, super( 90)Sr and super( 3)H in hydrosphere in the vicinity of Temelin Nuclear Power Plant. The radionuclides were monitored in surface water, river sediments, aquatic flora and fish species. The main objective of the study was to analyze and integrate all of the knowledge on concentrations and behaviour of these radionuclides, which originate mainly from residual contamination, in order to assess the impacts of Temelin Nuclear Power Plant on hydrosphere in these indicators during its standard operation and possible accidents. The results of the monitoring showed that 86% of suspended solids and 62% of super( 137)Cs inflowing into Orlik Reservoir accumulated in the reservoir while accumulation of super( 90)Sr was not substantiated. The results for the whole area of the Vltava, Luznice and Otava River basins upstream from the Vltava River at Solenice showed that during the period 1986-2013 only 0.49% of super( 137)Cs activity and 3.6% of super( 90)Sr activity that accumulated in the basins were washed and flowed out from the area.
