CESIUM 137 AND STRONTIUM 90 IN SEA WATER
Journal Article

· Papers Meteorol. and Geophys. (Tokyo)
Concentrations of Cs/sup 137/ and Sr/sup 90/ in the western North Pacific were determined. The content of Cs/sup 137/ ranged from 0.8 mu mu C/l to 4.8 mu mu C/l while Sr/sup 90/ of 0.6 to 3.1 mu mu C/l was contained in sea water. These values are much higher than those obtained in the Atlantic and the eastern part of the North Pacific. The cause of higher contamination is the direct flowout of the fission product from the proving grounds in the tropical region of the Pacific. The reason for the lower ratio of Cs/sup 137//Sr/sup 90/ in sea water is also discussed. (auth)
