Abstract

The concentrations of ²³⁸U and ²³²Th were determined by neutron activation analysis using epithermal irradiation in 12 sediment samples, collected along the Romanian sector of the Danube river and the Black Sea coast during 1994. The concentrations of ²²⁶Ra were determined by the emanation method in the same sediment samples. The concentration ranges obtained were compared also with the ²¹⁰Po concentration range for the same sector, reported in a previous paper. The accumulation potential of α-emitting radionuclides in the analysed sediments is discussed.
