Concentrations of artificial ( 60 Co, 137 Cs, 238 Pu and 239,240 Pu ) and naturally occurring radionuclides ( 40 K, 212 Pb and 214 Pb , daughter nuclides of the 232 Th and 238 U series) in bottom sediments of the Channel are reported. They are grain-size modulated but usual grain-size normalisation...
