SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS OF RADIOACTIVE FALL-OUT IN PRECIPITATION, PEAT SOIL, VEGETATION, TAP WATER, AND MILK (in Norwegian)

Journal Article · · Svensk Kem. Tidskr.
OSTI ID:4134507
The pattern of radioactive fall-out in Norway was followed in three meteorologically and topographically different areas from 1957 to l959. It is shown that only part of the Sr/sup 90/ and Cs/sup 137/ deposited is brought down by precipitation. In open areas with less precipitation, increasing amounts of radioactive fall-out are brought down by turbulent deposition. The concentration of Sr/sup 90/ and Cs/sup 137/ in ta p water is only from 1/5 to 1/10 of that found in precipitation. In milk the content of Sr/sup 90/ and particularly Cs/ sup 137/ has increased from year to year and shows marked seasonal variations. (auth)
