Description

Distribution of long-lived radionuclide, 99Tc, in the marine environment were studied for the assessment of radiation exposure to human from possible release of radioactive waste in nuclear fuel cycle. Concentrations of 99Tc were determined in Sargassum thunbergii collected from various coasts of the Japanese Islands. The highest concentration was 1.5 Bq/kg raw in the algae collected in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Pref. and the lowest was 4.5 mBq/kg raw in the sample from Chikura Town, Chiba Pref. (author)
