Description

90Sr and 137Cs from atmospheric nuclear explosions can get into the organizations of domestic animals via fodder. Radiological tests of meat samples revealed a load maximum last time in 1976. The regular tests of pork and beef samples between 1977 and 1982 in Hungary showed no significant differences in their radiocesium contents. The change of strontium activity in bones, however, lasts longer than that of cesium. According to the measurements, the strontium activity in swine bones was almost one order lower than that in cattle bones. (Sz.J.)
