Carbon isotopic composition (d13C and 14C activity) of plant samples in the vicinity of the Slovene nuclear power plant

Delta13C values of various plants (apples, wheat, and maize) collected in the vicinity of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant (Slovenia) during 2008 and 2009 were determined. By measuring dried samples and their carbonized counterparts we showed that no significant isotopic fractionation occurs during the carbonization phase of the sample preparation process in the laboratory. The measured delta13C values of the plants were used for delta13C correction of their measured 14C activities.
