- Abstract
Atmospheric radiocarbon has been monitored around the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Jaslovské Bohunice (Slovakia) using CO
2 absorption in NaOH solution since 1969. In 2012, tree ring samples were collected from Tilia cordata using an increment borer at Žlkovce monitoring station situated close to the Bohunice NPP. Each tree ring was identified and graphite targets were produced for
14C analysis by accelerator mass spectrometry. The
14C concentrations obtained from the tree-ring samples have been in a reasonable agreement with the averaged annual
14C concentrations in atmospheric CO
2.
