Strontium-90 and cesium-137 in shellfish (from Jun. 1983 to Nov. 1983)
Description
Sr-90 and Cs-137 in shellfish were determined using radiochemical analysis. Approximately 4 kg of shellfish (Venerupis philipinarum, Turbo cornutus, Pecten yessoensis, and Mytilus edulis) including the shells was collected or purchased during the fishing season from four sampling locations. After removing the shells, each sample was carbonized, and was then ashed in an electric muffle furnace. The maximium value of Sr-90 was 0.6 +- 0.28 pCi/kg in Turbo cornutus collected from Yamagata in July 1983; and that of Cr-137 was 1.6 +- 0.31 pCi/kg in Pecten yessoensis from Aomori in November 1983.
