Description

Measurements of the beta-activity of milk, serving as the main source of information on the radioactive contamination of the environment by the iodine isotope I 131, carried out on a DP-100 radiometer in the early post-Chernobyl period (1986) in Belarus, have been mathematically simulated. The results obtained allow the conclusion that the indicated measurements should be analyzed again with consideration for all of the nuclides present in milk. (authors)
