Fish liver homogenate collected at Belle

Island, Eniwetok, September 22, 1956, and a plankton
(No. 42) taken 470 miles west of Eniwetok, September 13, 1956,

Y

(Seymour et al.,1957) both exhibited strong .61 MEV

peaks

tn the whole samples as well as in the cobalt separation.

The

peaks attributed to Co?! and Co°° were also present in the whdle

samples and in the cobalt separations.

Raditochemical separations for zinc were made on two

A comparison of the c/m PB

for the total sample and the

a eekly

zn? fraction could not be made for sample I because the total
Sample count was made with the methane gas-flow counter and the

zn°> count with the end window geiger tube.

However, sample II

and its ze? fraction were counted on the methane gas-flow counters

and out of a count of 8,450 c/n PB
c/n B

in the whole sample, 3,600

were obtained in the zinc separation.

The

7Y

curves

for the two samples and that of a zn°? spike are shown in Fig. 9.

A small amount of contamination by cobalt radioisotopes was present in the zine separations.
