Foster, R F

Data are presented on the radioactivity in environmental samples collected at Hanford during August 1964. Data are included on the estimated rate of transport of /sup 32/P, /sup 65/Zn, /sup 51/Cr, /sup 76/As , and /sup 239/Np in the Columbia River; the content of /sup 32/P and /sup 65/Zn in Willapa Bay oysters and milk samples; the content of /sup 131/I in stack effluents, surface air, cattle thyroids, and milk samples; the BETA activity on air filters; the content of fallout /sup 137/Cs and /sup 90/Sr in milk samples; and the estimated radiation dose to the gastrointestinal tract of local residents from radionuclides in drinking water.
