Cesium-134 in Alaskan Eskimos and in Fallout
Whole-body counts of Alaskan Eskimos during the summer of 1962 showed the presence of cesium-134 as well as cesium-137. Cesium-134 was also found in reindeer and caribou meat; this finding was confirmed through coincidence counting. There was generally about 1 percent as much cesium-134 as there was cesium-137. Cesium134 was also found on air filters collected at Richland, Washington. The appearance of cesium-134 seems to be world-wide and continuing.
