Fission products uptake into the body of farm animals and radionuclide transilocation into farm animal products

The effects produced by fission products in the organism of dairy cattle are considered. The presence of radionuclides in the animal body leads to the danger of radioactive contamination of milk and may result in the loss of milk productivity and reproductive capacity of the irradiated animals or even in their death. Of greatest practical interest is an experimental evaluation of the intake of fission products, since, on the one hand, milk is one of the basic and valuable foods and, on the other, it is the principal source of biologically dangerous radionuclides in human diet
