METABOLISM OF STRONTIUM, CESIUM AND YTTRIUM BY ANIMALS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4243365

Data are summarized from a series of studies on the metabolism of fission products by domestic animals. Tabulated results are included on the effect of age on the absorption and renal excretion of strontium-90 by cattle, the rate of excretion of orally ingested strontium-90 by cattle, the secretion of strontium-90 into milk, the deposition of strontium-90 in eggs, and the excretion pattern of cesium-137 in rats and cattle. The deposition and excretion of yttrium in rats are discussed briefiy. (C.H.)
