Titre du congrès :38th CIESM Ville du congrès :Istanbul Date du congrès :09/04/2007

An intercomparison exercise for natural and anthropogenic radionuclides was organized using a material prepared from the soft tissues of mussels collected in the vicinity of the Grand Rhone river mouth. Seven out of the 15 laboratories participating in the CIESM Mediter-ranean Mussel Watch Program reported results. Based on these results and on those received from 9 additional laboratories worldwide, 239+240 recommended values were derived for K, 234U and U, Pu and information values for 137Cs, 210Pb(Po),226Ra, 228Th, 232Th, 235 U and Am.
