Abstract: Radioactive fallout from the burning Chernobyl nuclear reactor provided a pulsed release of¹³⁷Cs to Lake Sempach at the beginning of May 1986. The time-dependent removal of¹³⁷Cs from the water column into the sediments has been investigated by analyzing water samples, settling particles and sediment cores. A flux balance has been established to determine and to quantify the removal processes in the epilimnion and hypolimnion of Lake Sempach.
