During the summer of 1962, levels of radioactivity in over 700 people at four villages above the Arctic Circle in Alaska were measured with a transportable whole-body counter. The averages for body burden of cesium-137 were much higher than the average for people in the rest of the United States. The people of the interior village of Anaktuvuk Pass had the highest average burden of cesium-137, which was 421 nanocuries; the maximum burden was 790 nanocuries.
Whole-body counts of Alaskan Eskimos during the summer of 1962 showed the presence of cesium-134 as well as cesium-137. Cesium-134 was also found in reindeer and caribou meat; this finding was confirmed through coincidence counting. There was generally about 1 percent as much cesium-134 as there was cesium-137. Cesium-134 was also found on air filters collected at Richland, Washington. The appearance of cesium-134 seems to be world-wide and continuing.
