Prediction of the relative activity levels of the actinides in a fallout from a nuclear reactor accident.

The relative activities of the actinides that can be expected in a fresh fallout from a nuclear reactor (BWR, PWR, RBMK) accident have been estimated from fuel composition calculations. The results can be used to (1) adapt analytical methods to better suit emergency situations, (2) estimate the activity levels of radionuclides not measured and (3) estimate the relative activities of nuclides in unresolved alpha-peaks. The latter two can be applied to investigations concerning the Chernobyl fallout, in addition to emergency situations.

Iodine-131 in the thyroids of North American deer and caribou: comparison after nuclear tests.

Concentrations of I(131) in the thyroids of deer from Washington, Colorado, and Maryland, and of caribou from Alaska were measured after the resumption of nuclear weapon tests by the U.S.S.R. on 1 September 161. Maximum concentrations occurred nearly 2 months after the first nuclear test and then decreased at an effective half-time of about 15 days. Thyroids from Washington and Colorado deer showed the highest concentrations, thyroids from Alaskan caribou the lowest.
