Detailed measurement of $sup 131$I in air, vegetation, and milk around three operating reactor sites

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4121560
; ; ;

A study at three nuclear reactor sites to determine $sup 131$I concentrations in the air-grass-cow-milk links of the food chain, as these are related to releases from the nuclear power plants, was prepared. The $sup 131$I gaseous effluent release rates were measured in terms of other chemical forms of iodine and compared with previous measurements. Concentrations in vegetation were not generally observable, while measured milk concentrations appeared directly related to rainfall. Maximum air-to-vegetation transfer velocities were calculated, and two vegetation-to-milk transfer parameters were determined. (GRA)
