Elis Holm and his collaborators from Lund have many years ago already
published work done on the enrichment of Cs-137 in the paper and pulp
industry due to the Chernobyl accident.

I remember, but cannot give details, that in some Scandinavian Country
restrictions were laid on import of wood from certain former Sovjet
countries, because of the high Cs-137 content. Maybe Bjoern knows more.
