Radioactivity survey data in Japan, part 2. Dietary materials

Abstract

The publication is aimed at providing radioactivity survey data in Japan. Part 2 covers dietary materials, including total diet, rice, milk, powdered milk, vegetables, tea, sea fish, freshwater fish, shellfish, and seaweeds. Samples were collected from 42 locations during the period between March 1991 and March 1992, and were sent to the Japan Chemical Analysis Center for radiochemical analysis. Strontium-90 and cesium-137 in these dietary materials are tabulated. The maximum concentrations of strontium-90 and cesium-137 were 0.16{+-}0.016 Bq/p {center_dot} d and 0.20{+-}0.013 Bq/p {center_dot} d, in total diet; 0.023{+-}0.011 Bq/kgwet and 0.18{+-}0.012 Bq/kgwet in rice; 0.071{+-}0.0095 Bq/l and 0.50{+-}0.019 Bq/l in milk; 0.50{+-}0.016 Bq/kgwet and 0.23{+-}0.016 Bq/kgwet in vegetables; 0.027{+-}0.0090 Bq/kgwet and 0.22{+-}0.015 Bq/kgwet in sea fish; 2.6{+-}0.04 Bq/kgwet and 0.27{+-}0.017 Bq/kgwet for freshwater fish; 0.020{+-}0.013 Bq/kgwet and 0.041{+-}0.0079 Bq/kgwet in shellfish; 0.046{+-}0.0054 Bq/kgwet and 0.037{+-}0.0072 Bq/kgwet in seaweeds, respectively. Annual changes in the concentrations of both strontium-90 and cesium-137 from 1987 through 1991 are given. (J.P.N.).
