Description

Sr-90 and Cs-137 in shellfish were determined using radiochemical analysis. Approximately 4 kg of shellfish (Saxidomuspurpuratus, Ostrea gigas, Gomphina melanaegis, and Turbo cornutus) including the shells was collected or purchased during the fishing season from four sampling locations. After removing the shells, each sample was carbonized, and was then ashed in an electric muffle furnace. The maximum values of Sr-90 and Cs-137 were 0.5+-0.47 pCi/kg and 1.2+-0.34 pCi/kg, respectively, found in oyster collected from Hiroshima in February 1984. (Namekawa, K.)
