title: Carbon and Pu isotopes in Baltic Sea sediments.
abstract: Distributions of137Cs,239,240Pu, Δ14C and δ13C measured in sediments indicated low137Cs and239,240Pu activities in the Curonian Lagoon and higher levels in the open Baltic Sea. Depleted δ13CTOCvalues were found in the Curonian Lagoon as compared with the open Baltic Sea, while the most depleted Δ14CTOCvalues were found in the Gotland Deep. The global fallout Pu dominated in the deeper zones of the Baltic Sea, while higher240Pu/239Pu atom ratios were characteristic of the coastal regions.
