Studies on Measurement of Flow Rate of River Stream Using Radioactive Tracers (in Japanese)

Journal Article · · Radioisotopes (Tokyo)
Applications of radioisotopes as tracers for flow measurements of rivers are discussed. Results are reported from field experiments using about 1 c of I¹³¹ or about 0.4 c of Na²⁴ as tracers. Direct measurements were made under water and samples were collected periodically downstream. Data on concentration versus time of flow were plotted. The maximum distance traced by 60 mc of Na²⁴ was about 30 kilometers. (C.H.)
