14 C is one of the radionuclides that are produced to different degrees by neutron-induced reactions in all types of nuclear reactors. Part of the 14 C created is continuously released into the surrounding environment during normal operation as airborne effluents in various chemical forms (such as CO 2 , CO and hydrocarbons) through the ventilation system of the plant. Because of the biological importance of carbon and the long half-life of 14 C, it is of interest to measure the releases and their incorporation into living material. We report here on the 14 C activity concentrations in annual tree rings and the air around two Swedish nuclear power plants, as well as the background 14 C activity levels from two reference sites in southern Sweden from 1973–1996. We used both accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and decay counting in the investigation
