(Workshop on transfer of radionuclides to livestock, Christ Church College-University of Oxford, United Kingdom, September 5--8, 1988): Foreign trip report
The traveler participated in the Workshop on the Transfer of Radionuclides to Livestock which was held at the Christ Church College-University of Oxford, September 5-8, 1988. The traveler was a member of the program committee that was made up of representatives from ten countries. In addition, the traveler presented a key invited paper entitled ''Transfer of Radionuclides to Animals --- An Historical Perspective of Work Done in the United States.'' The aim of the workshop was to review current information obtained from both observations and experimental studies on how various parameters can influence the mechanisms of transfer of radionuclides to human food stuffs. These parameters include source and composition of the diet, chemical form of radionuclides, season, agricultural practices, species, strain, and age. The importance and application of countermeasures for reducing the transfer of radionuclides to food stuffs was also considered. The last session of the meeting included summaries and presentations by each session chairman. This was followed by a general discussion by the attendees that was most profitable and stimulating.
