Map of levels of Cs137 deposition in 1989 in Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Figure II of report [1], page 51.
See the original for the best resolution.
Description
The report reads:
15. Material was deposited, mainly because of rainfall, in a complex pattern over large areas of the three republics and beyond. Owing to the emergency situation and the short half-life of I-131, few reliable measurements of the pattern of radioiodine deposition were made. There are ongoing efforts to reconstruct the deposition pattern of I-131, using measurements of the long-lived I-129 as an analogue. Three main areas of the former Soviet Union (in total, 150,000 km2 with more than 5 million inhabitants) were classified as contaminated areas (figure II).
For some reason, the text discuss distribution of isotopes of iodine,
while the caption of the figure indicates, that it refers to distribution of Cs137.
