THE OCCURRENCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF RADIOACTIVE NON-FISSION PRODUCTS IN PLANTS AND ANIMALS OF THE PACIFIC PROVING GROUND

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4324915
Radiochemical separations were made on selected samples of biological materials from the Pacific Proving Ground. The isotopes in the separated fractions were identified by their half lives, maximum beta energies, and gamma energies. In addition to radioactive fission products, the non-fission radioisotopes, p 57/, Co/sup 58/, Co/sup 60/, and Zn/sup 65/, were identified in some samples. The latter isotopes accounted for almost all of the radioactivity in the zoological samples of marine origin. (auth)
