Low-level measurements of artificial radionuclides in the Aare and Rhine

22 January 201618 November 2022 André Gurtner

The introduction of artificial radionuclides into river water can occur either through direct discharge of liquid radioactive substances through sewage pipes or through precipitation (leaching from atmospheric discharges).

Tritium monitoring in rivers and rainwater

3 February 201618 November 2022 André Gurtner

Tritium is a pure beta emitter of low energy. It is therefore not measurable by gamma spectrometry, the most widely used technique for monitoring radioactivity in the environment, and is therefore also ‘invisible’ to the URAnet aqua automatic river water radioactivity network.
This publication is available only in French and German.
