Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Cirolana (74CZ) cruise CIR12/94 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CIR12/94 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To collect and process surface and bottom water from UK coastal waters for the analysis of Tc, Cs, Sb and transuranic radionuclides as part of the post Enhanced Actinide Removal plant (EARP) survey (AE0114A, Nuclear Fission Safety Programme).
2. To conduct further studies to determine the temporal distribution and stability if actinide colloids in both surface and bottom waters using a variety of ultrafiltration techniques (AE0114A, Nuclear Fission Safety Programme). 3. To study the surface sediment and water concentrations of U, Th, Ra, Po and Pb radionuclides and nutrients in the immediate vicinity of the Marchon outfall and further offshore in the eastern Irish Sea. Part of this work is to be done in conjunction with a small charter vessel (AE0115A). 4. To collect, on behalf of IAEA, the remainder of a bulk fish sample required for worldwide distribution as an intercalibration reference sample (carried over from CIR 6/94). |
