title: Modelling the Chernobyl radioactive fallout (II): A multifractal approach in some European countries.
abstract: This paper deals with the 137Cs cumulative soil deposition measured in some European Countries after the Chernobyl accident. We devised a multifractal model to aid in describing the spatial distribution of radioactivity. The model is based the Fractal Sum of Pulses theory, involving additive stochastic processes. We use, as input source of information, the available data of radioactive deposition measured in some European Countries. The results look promising, since realistic scenarios of environmental pollution are produced.
