| Abstract |
During 1972, cattle from three different herds on and around the Nevada Test Site were sampled to determine the tissue burdens of plutonium and uranium. The only other isotopes detected in tissues were exp 90 Sr, exp 131 I, exp 137 Cs, and exp 3 H, although exp 95 Zr, exp 103 Ru, exp 140 Ba, and exp 141 Ce were frequently found in rumen contents. The herds sampled were: a control herd from Searchlight, Nevada; a herd from Area 18, the Nevada Test Site; and a herd grazing in the Operation Roller Coaster Area of the Tonopah Test Range, where four chemical detonations involving plutonium were conducted in 1963. |
