Description/Abstract:
SOME MEASUREMENTS OF SEA WATER ACTIVITY DUE TO STRONTIUM-89, STRONTIUM -90 AND CESIUM-137 WERE PERFORMED IN THE PERIOD 1960 - 1963. SEASONAL INFLUENCES OF STRONTIUM-90 CONTAMINATION HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED. SOME R ESULTS REFERRING TO SEA ORGANISMS ARE ALSO REPORTED. IN THE AFORESAID PERIODE STRONTIUM-90 HAD AN AVERAGE FIVE FOLD INCREASE IN SEA WATER.
