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.
对美国东南部一个水库的研究表明,铯-137 从核燃料元件的泄漏进入系统后,会在季节性的基础上在水和沉积物之间循环。这种循环与这个单分子湖每年的热分层期相吻合,已经持续了 10 多年。
