Strontium titanate, distrontium titanate, and strontium fluoride have been considered as isotopic fuels in thermoelectric generators for space and terrestrial applications. Evaluation of the radiobiological and radioecological effects of accidental release of /sup 90/Sr on land, in water, and in air requires a knowledge of the dissolution rates of the fuel in fresh water, salt water, and dilute HCl. Results of a study to investigate the behavior of these strontium fuel forms in the different test solutions are presented. (TFD)
