Radiological and Environmental Research Division ecological annual report, January-December 1975. [Transuranium elements, plutonium]

Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1976

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5538436· OSTI ID:5538436

The report includes 31 papers describing projects of the division. Of interest are the studies of plutonium and other transuranic elements in the Great Lakes and in the drainage basin of the Greater Miami River in Ohio. Emphasis has been placed upon attempts to understand the biogeochemical behavior of plutonium and other transuranic elements in the environment. A new program is described which examines the potential effects on aquatic ecosystems of pollutants related to nonnuclear energy conversion. Experiments designed to determine the hydrodynamic properties of waterborne particulates are included. A listing of publications by the staff of the section is given.
