Effect of plume residence on the accumulation of 137Cs by Lake Michigan salmonids

Creators

Description

Brown trout, rainbow trout, and chinook salmon were tagged with temperature-sensitive tags and released back into the Point Beach discharge area. Gamma spectral analysis detected only 137Cs and 40K in the fish samples. A comparison of mean 137Cs concentrations in all groups for 1971 and 1973 showed that 1971 levels were significantly higher than 1973 levels
