p. 21-25 LA RADIOACTIVITE ARTIFICIELLE DES SEDIMENTS TRANSPORTES PAR LE DANUBE DANS LA MER NOIRE O. Serbanescu Institut Roumain de Recherches Marines - Constanta A. Iorgulescu L'Institut de Physique Atomique Bucuresti Abstract The surface sediments collexted in 1969 and 1970 from the Danube(up- stream its mouths) and from the sea, at a depth of 8 m showed a sig- nificant, relatively intense betta and gamma activity. The spectro- metric analysis showed the presence of the following radionuclides: 105Ru + 105Rh, 54Mn, 65Zn, 60Co, 144Ce + 144Pr.
