[16p-Z34-12] Analysis of Chlorine-36 in Greenland SE dome ice core
Keywords:Chlorine-36, Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, ice core
36Cl (Half life: 3.01×105 yr) is long lived radio isotope which is produced by the neutron activation of 35Cl. In 1950’s and 1960’s, vast amount of 36Cl was produced due to a number of atmospheric nuclear bomb testing. In contrast to 129I (Half life: 1.57×107 yr), 36Cl is merely released from spent fuel reprocessing plant. The time course profile of 36Cl recorded in ice core will be totally different from 129I. In this study, 36Cl in Greenland SE dome ice core was analyzed with precise time resolution and compared with 129I recorded.
