Strontium-90 and cesium-137 in total diet (from Oct. 1984 to Jul. 1985)

Description

Sr-90 and Cs-137 in total diet were determined using radiochemical analysis. A full one day ordinary diet including three meals, water, tea and other in-between snacks for five persons was collected as a sample of ''total diet'' from 27 sampling locations. The sample in a large stainless steel pan was carbonized carefully by direct application of gas flame, and was transferred to a porcelain dish and then ashed at 500 deg C in an electric muffle furnace. The maximum values of Sr-90 and Cs-137 in total diet were 4.5 +- 0.43 pCi/p·d from Niigata in June 1985 and 4.9 +- 0.40 pCi/p·d from Fukushima in January 1985, respectively. (Namekawa, K.)
