Description

Measurements based upon fallout activity were carried out for assessing some equilibrium concentration factors in fish of the Austrian region of the Danube river, the radionuclides being Cs-137, Sr-90 and K-40. Mean values were found as 250 for Cs-137 and 7 for Sr-90 in fish tissue and as 350 for Sr-90 in fish bone, and 1.2x103 for K-40. Well proved log-normal distributions for Cs-137 in fish tissue and Sr-90 in fish bone and a normal distribution for K-40 satisfactorily describe the scattering of data. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Zur Bestimmung der Gleichgewichts-Konzentrationsfaktors in Fischen wurden Messungen durgefuehrt, wobei die Radionuklide Sr-90, Cs-137 und K-40 bestimmt wurden. Es wurden Werte von 250 fuer Cs-137, 7 fuer Sr-90 in Fischfleisch, 350 fuer Sr-90 in Fischknochen und 1,2x103 fuer K-40 als Mittelwerte gefunden. Die Daten folgten sehr gut Lognormalverteilungen (Cs in Fischfleisch, Sr in Knochen) und Normalverteilungen (K in Fischfleisch). (orig.)
