Role of plankton in the behavior of 99Tc and 54Mn in seawater

Creators

Description

Plankton consisting chiefly of diatoms, protozoans, and crayfish was collected and placed in vials with seawater. Manganese-54 and 99Tc were added to the vials and samples were analyzed at intervals. Tables are presented to show sorption of the radioisotopes by phytoplankton and zooplankton. The role of plankton in the formation of 99Tc and 54Mn colloids is discussed
