Fate and effects of radionuclides in Alaska

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4313785
Comparisons of radionuclide concentrations in rumen contents and muscle tissue of caribou from Anaktuvuk Pass and Kobuk River regions during the 1972-- 1973 winter season show that the Kobuk caribou are two to three times higher in / sup 137/Cs concentrations. Consumption of these animals would produce two- to threefold higher /sup 137/Cs body burdens in Anaktuvuk Eskimos than pre dicted from Anaktuvuk caribou measurements. (auth)
