Caesium-137 (Cs-137) is a radioactive substance with a half-life of about 30 years. Cs-137 is soluble in sea water and mainly follows the ocean currents. It can attach to sediment. It is necessary to monitor and document the levels of caesium due to a large number of potential sources of future radioactive pollution and the great economic importance fishing in the Barents Sea has for Norway as an export nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
