    Abstract

    The behaviour of different radionuclides and of several physico-chemical parameters is studied routinely at different sites in the Nete, a small river into which controlled discharges are made. Activities in water varied dependent on the site. They were highest at the sampling sites near the discharge point, representing a respective increase of about 100, 20 and 10 times compared to the activities above the discharge point, and diminished progressively downstream to about a fourth of the maximum value. -after Authors
