CORINE project Cs-137 deposition map [+]
These data have been also plotted by the CEC DG XI, CORINE Programme 1985 - 1990. The NTUA data set is available upon request from the Radioactivity Environmental Monitoring (REM) Data Bank at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) - Environmental Institute. Another Cs-137 deposition greek data set is provided by the Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory - NRCPS, Dr. P.Kritidis.
