In this study, 137Cs specific activities were measured in surface soil samples collected from undisturbed areas over the eastern part of the Black Sea coast line of Turkey, between Trabzon and Hopa, in August 2004 and January 2005. A total number of 41 surface soil samples were counted using an HpGe spectrometer system. The results indicate that 137Cs levels show a large variation over the coast ranging between 10 Bq/kg and 1000 Bq/kg. The soil activities are generally higher in the eastern part of the coast. Exposure rates above the ground surface due to 137Cs activity in soil estimated to vary between 0.1mR/s and 9 mR/s.
