Abstract: The behaviour of Chernobyl-derived ¹³⁷Cs in a hydrologically isolated bog system in the catchment of the Pripyat River, Belarus was investigated. Measurements were made of ¹³⁷Cs activities in the solids and pore waters of the bog soils, as well as the variability in activity in water draining from the bog. It was found that the radiocaesium activity of the pore water, and hence the measured distribution coefficient, K_d, was dependent upon the pressure at which the water was removed from the soil.
