The Bega canal is one among many heavily polluted canals in Vojvodina (the northern province of Serbia and Montenegro). In the framework of the revitalization of this canal, the radionuclide content of the sediment was investigated in order to support the safe deposition after excavation. It was found that, in comparison with the Danube sediment and Vojvodina soil, the Bega sediment is contaminated with (238)U and (137)Cs. The origin of this contamination is discussed. No traces of contamination by nuclear power plants in the region were found, while the presence of technologically enhanced, natural occurring radioactive materials (TENORM) was proved.
贝加运河是伏伊伏丁那(塞尔维亚和黑山的北部省份)众多重度污染运河之一。在该运河振兴框架内,对沉积物中的放射性核素含量进行了调查,以支持挖掘后的安全沉积。结果发现,与多瑙河沉积物和伏伊伏丁那土壤相比,贝加沉积物受到了(238)U和(137)Cs的污染。讨论了这种污染的来源。未发现该地区核电站污染的痕迹,但证明存在技术增强型天然放射性物质(TENORM)。
