Environmental contamination in the Kautokeino region; Radioaktiv miljoeforurensning i Kautokeino-omraadet

Abstract

The National Institute of Radiation Hygiene of Norway has analysed the Cs-137 content in reindeer herdsmen by whole-body measurements with a NaI scintillation counter. The whole-body measurements started in Kautokeino in 1965 and were carried out in March every year until 1990. After the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the whole-body measurements included measurements of Cs-134 with half-life about 2 years. Cs-137 content in meat from legs of reindeer and Se-90 content in the corresponding bones were analysed by National Institute of Radiation Hygiene in the laboratory in Oslo. The samples were supplied by the group of reindeer herdsmen being measured. Also Se-90 content in reindeer meat samples was determined. Cs-137 and Sr-90 content in a few samples of lichens were analysed. 11 refs., 3 figs., 5 tabs.
