In this work 137Cs and 40K radionuclide concentrations in moss collected at
NP Djerdap in the period from 1996 to 2009 are presented. Values of the
substrate-moss transfer factor for 137Cs and 40K were calculated. The
effective and biological half-life of 137Cs in Homalothecium sericeum moss
collected in the period from 1996 to 2008 on the archeological locality of
Lepenski Vir was also calculated.
