AbstractThis dataset contains information on Sr-90 and Cs-137 contamination in soil (activity concentration) in the Ukrainian part of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Observation sites and sampling dates are also listed in the data-file. All Sr-90 and Cs-137 data have been decay-corrected to January 1, 2021. Detailed processing methods and data are published in below papers.
