Abstract
Pu-238, Pu239-240, and Am-241 were measured, by a-counting after radiochemi cal separation, in two lake sediment cores. The profiles of these transuran ics were compared to those of the fission product Cs-137. Datation of nucle ar events and data on behavior of the studied elements were deduced.
