Abstract
Pu-238,Pu-239-240 were measured in German lake sediment cores by alpha -cou nting after radiochemical separation. Their distribution over the bed of th e lake was determined. The lake contain 3 basins and for each basin 3 sedim ent cores have been sliced in two subsamples. The results show that the act ivity distribution is not the same over the lake and that the sedimentation rate changes in the 3 basins.
