Abstract
⺠In 1986 the Chernobyl accident contaminated soils across Europe with 137Cs. ⺠In 2008/2010 we measured 137Cs in 8 peaty soils from a transect across Scotland. ⺠The 137Cs activities were between 2.8 and 14.4 kBq mâ2, decay corrected to 1986. ⺠The mean migration depths of 137Cs were between 8.2 and 17.4 cm. ⺠Clay minerals alone in the soils did not control the downward migration of 137Cs.
