Seasonal cycling of cesium-137 in a reservoir.
Studies of a reservoir in the southeastern United States show that cesium-137, introduced into the system from a leak in a nuclear fuel element, cycles between the water and sediment on a seasonal basis. The cycling, which coincides with the annual periods of thermal stratification in this monomictic lake, has been occurring for over 10 years.
