a Sort ~~ wee weep te the vicinity of Bikini Atoll were studied. The contamination was caused directly by the radioactive ashes and was limited to the surface of the fish. No radioactivity was detected in muscles and bones. The contamination of tuna expressed as /sup 60/Co was 10/sup -2/ to 10/sup -3/ microcurie per sq. cm. of skin and 10/sup -1/ microcurie per g. scales.; Major Descriptors: *FISHES -- CONTAMINATION; *FISHES -- RADIONUCLIDE KINETICS; *FOOD -- CONTAMINATION Descriptors: ASHES; BIKINI; COBALT 60; FALLOUT; MUSCLES; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS ; RADIATION DOSES; SKELETON; SKIN; TUNA Broader Terms: ANIMALS; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA~MINUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BODY; COBALT ISOTOPES; DOSES; EXPLOSIONS; FISHES; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLEI; INTERNAL CONVERSION RADIOISOTOPES; ISLANDS; ISOMERIC TRANSITION ISOTOPES; ISOTOPES; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MICRONESIA; MINUTES LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; NUCLEI; OCEANIA; ODD-ODD NUCLEI; ORGANS; RADIOISOTOPES; RESIDUES; VERTEBRATES; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES Subject Categories: 520302* ~-- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Aquatic Ecosystems & Food Chains -(-1987) 560172 Animals -- Radiation Effects -- Nuclide Kinetics & Toxicology --- (-1987) 450200 -- Military Technology, Explosions & Explosives 10/5/776 00803601 (Item 476 from file: EDB-81-~-111868 Title: Radioactive substances Author(s): Kiba, T.; Ohashi, Weaponry, 103) found on the contaminated fish S.; Shibata, M.; Mizube, T.

Country of Origin: Japan Abstract: Radiochemical investigation of the substance collected from the surface of tuna fish which were brought back by the No. 5 Fukuryu Maru was performed. Most of the radioactivity was found on the scales which could not be decontaminated by treating with H/sub 2/0; 80% of the activity was removed by washing the dried scales with 3N HCl. Paper chromatographic separation of the HCl fraction showed the presence of /sup 140/Ba, /sup 89/Sr, /sup 132/Te, and probably /sup 95/Zr, 140/La, and rare earths.; Major Descriptors: *BARIUM 140 -- CHROMATOGRAPHY; /sup *LANTHANUM 140 -- CHROMATOGRAPHY; *STRONTIUM 90 -- CHROMATOGRAPHY; *TELLURIUM 132 -CHROMATOGRAPHY; *TUNA -- CONTAMINATION; *TUNA -- RADIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS ; *ZIRCONIUM 95 -- CHROMATOGRAPHY Descriptors: BIKINI; DECONTAMINATION; FALLOUT; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS; RADIOACTIVITY; RARE EARTHS Broader Terms: ALKALINE EARTH ISOTOPES; ANIMALS; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; BARIUM ISOTOPES; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-MINUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; CHEMICAL ANALYSIS; CLEANING; DAYS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; ELEMENTS; EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI; EVEN-ODD NUCLEI; EXPLOSIONS; FISHES; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLEI; INTERNAL CONVERSION RADIOISOTOPES; ISLANDS; ISOTOPES; LANTHANUM ISOTOPES; MARSHALL ISLANDS; METALS; MICRONESIA; NUCLEI; OCEANIA; ODD-ODD NUCLEI; QUANTITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS; RADIOISOTOPES; RARE EARTH ISOTOPES; RARE EARTH NUCLEI; SEPARATION PROCESSES; STRONTIUM ISOTOPES; TELLURIUM ISOTOPES; VERTEBRATES; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; ZIRCONIUM ISOTOPES Subject Categories: 520302* -- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive o Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Aquatic Ecosystems & Food Chains == (-1987) 400102 450200 co -- Chemical & Spectral Procedures my -- Military Technology, Weaponry, & National Defense -- Nuclear = ir
