Description

Metabolism and accumulation of 134Cs in chicken were studied by oral feeding 134Cs. The results showed that the radioactivity of 134Cs in various visceral organs and tissues reached the peak after 6h accumulation. The specific radioactivity of 134Cs in liver, intestine, pancreas and heart was in the range of 3210780 ± 1560-4568580 ± 1860 Bq; and 198480 ± 360-198480 ± 360 Bq in blood, meat, bone and feather. The radioactivity in all organs and tissues was declined with the time increasing. The radioactivity decreased to 30% after feed 24h compared with after feeding 6h and could only be detected in the samples of meat and feather after feeding 69 days. The accumulation of 134Cs could be reduced by oral feeding NaCl. 134Cs in chicken meat could be obviously removed by water washing also. (authors)
