The effects of concentrations of iodine-131 ranging from 1.0 to 100 mc/l on the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge by microorganisms were investigated. Data are presented on rate of gas production, ultimate gas production, concentration of volatile acids, reduction of volatile matters and pH. No significant changes were noted in the uptake of iodine-131 by the solid phase with increases in initial radioactivity up to 100 mc/l. At least 60% of the activity appeared to be concentrated in the solid phase. This degree of concentration suggests some promise of fixing a portion of radioactivity in sewage sludge solids for low-level disposal. (C.H.)
