The Distribution of Fallout Radionuclides (Sr90, I131, and Cs137) in Naturally Contaminated Milk (in German)
The distribution of Sr90, I131, and Cs137 in milk was investigated in the autumn of 1962. The concentration of the radioisotopes in I kg of the milk used was 44.5 pC Sr90, 176.0 pC Sr89, 106.0 pC I131, and 91.0 pC Cs137. The distribution of the isotopes in the fatty part of the milk and in the non-fatty constituents was determined and the results are tabulated, showing that most of the radioisotopes follow the aqueous phase to the skim milk. 60% of the radioiodine goes to the butter fat. In acid precipitation of the skim milk more than 90% of the Sr90 goes with the whey, whereas the I131 and Cs137 go with the casein.
