Recently deposited fine-grained sediments in the Hudson River estuary contain radionuclides from global fallout produced by atmospheric bomb tests as well as from low-level releases of a local nuclear reactor. Accumulation rates of these nuclides are dependent on rates of sediment deposition and vary with location in the estuary by more than two orders of magnitude. Within the Hudson estuary, New York harbor is currently the zone of most rapid deposition of sediments containing radionuclides, some of which were released from a nuclear reactor about 60 kilometers upstream of the harbor.
哈得逊河河口近期沉积的细粒沉积物含有大气核弹试验产生的全球沉降放射性核素以及当地一座核反应堆的低水平排放物。这些核素的累积速率取决于沉积物的沉积速率，并且在河口不同位置的变化幅度超过两个数量级。在哈得逊河口内，纽约港目前是含有放射性核素的沉积物沉积最快的区域，其中一些放射性核素是从该港上游约60公里处的一座核反应堆释放出来的。
