For use in measuring the lean content of meat, a large number of K/sup 40/ activity measurements are being made. A large 4 I/sup 131/ labe scintillation counter which can handle 80-lb samples is described as being used in the study. It can separate the fall-out Cs/sup 137/ 0.661-Mev activity from the natural K/sup 40/ 1.46-Mev gamma. The Cs/sup 137/ data are also important for public health studies. It is evident from a few observations that there is a nearly linear relation between K/sup 40/ count and lean content in 50 to 60-lb ham samples. (T.R.H.)
