Summary:A study presents the first evidence for concentrations of transuranium curium in the Yenisei floodplain ecosystem. The highest concentrations of Cm isotopes detected in bottom sediments of the Yenisei River amounts to 21.4 Bq/kg of dry mass, which is two times higher than the published data on the maximum Cm content in soil samples taken from the Chernobyl disaster area.
