Description/Abstract:
THE CONCENTRATION OF SR-90-Y-90 IN TROUT APPROACHED ABOUT 1.5 TIMES THE CONCENTRATION IN THE SURROUNDING WATER IN 3 WEEKS. APPROXIMATELY 21% OF THE ISOTOPE ADMINISTERED IN GELATIN CAPSULES WAS RETAINED AFTER 1 DAY BUT WHEN THE ISOTOPE WAS INCORPORATED INTO NATURAL FOOD, THE RETENTION WAS ONLY ABOUT 7%. IT WAS INFERRED THAT UPTAKE FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL WATER WAS GREATER THAN UPTAKE THROUGH THE FOOD CHAIN
