| Abstract |
In a symposium on the fate of radionuclides in the Savannah River Estuary and in two river systems, procedures are described which can usefully be applied to investigations of other aquatic systems. The studies involve surveillance and monitoring techniques and the development of equipment and methods. A discussion of the hydraulics of the Savannah Estuary describes the characteristics of river and tidal currents and distribution of salinity and sedimentation; these form a basis for effective sampling and interpretation of radiological data and their application to aquatic and ecological data and their application to aquatic and ecological studies. Field and laboratory studies on the accumulation of nuclides by organisms are described and interrelated. It is shown that more useful information can be developed when specific nuclides, rather than gross activity, are investigated. Improvements in sampling methods, especially in silt collection, are described in detail. These studies emphasize the multidisciplinary aspects of radiological surveys of aquatic environments.
