and fallout. We were able to measure concentrations of the naturally eccurring radionuclides /sup 7/Be, /sup 40/K and the U and th series, and we believe that we have detected low levels of /sup 144/Ce and /sup 95/Nb in seven samples ranging as far south as 68/sup 0/. There is a definite association between the radionuclide content of plankton and aix filters, suggesting that aerosol resuspension of marine °¢ radioactivity may be occurring. Biological identification of the plankton suggests a possible correlation between radionuclide concentration and foraminifera content of the figures, 3 tables.; samples. 38 references, ‘ 7 Major Descriptors: *RADIOISOTOPES -- BIOLOGICAL ACCUMULATION Descriptors: ANTARCTIC OCEAN; BERYLLIUM 7; CESIUM 144; EXPERIMENTAL DATA; NIOBIUM 95; PACIFIC OCEAN; PLANKTON; POTASSIUM 40; RADIOACTIVE AEROSOLS ; RADIOECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION; THORIUM 228; URANIUM 235; URANIUM 238 Broader Terms: ACTINIDE ISOTOPES; ACTINIDE NUCLEI; AEROSOLS; ALKALI METAL ISOTOPES; ALKALINE BARTH ISOTOPES; ALPHA DECAY RADIOLTSOTOPES; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; BERYLLIUM ISOTOPES; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-MINUS DECAY RADIOCISOTOPES; BETA-PLUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; CESIUM ISOTOPES; COLLOIDS; DATA; DAYS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; DISPERSIONS; ECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION; ELECTRON CAPTURE RADIOISOTOPES; EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI; EVEN-ODD NUCLEI; HEAVY NUCLEI; INFORMATION; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLET; ISOMERIC TRANSITION ISOTOPES; ISOTOPES; LIGHT NUCLEI; MINUTES LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; NIOBIUM ISOTOPES; NUCLEI; NUMERICAL DATA; ODD-EVEN NUCLEI; ODD-ODD NUCLEI; POTASSIUM ISOTOPES; RADIOISOTOPES; SEAS; SECONDS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; SOLS; SURFACE WATERS; THORIUM ISOTOPES; URANIUM ISOTOPES; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES Subject Categories: 520300* -- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- (1989) 500300 -- Environment, Atmospheric -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- (-1989) INIS Subject Categories: B3200* B3310 10/5/665 01452754 -- Water -- Radioactive materials monitoring & transport; meteorology (Item 365 from file: 103) AIX-15-052605; EDB-84-150558 Title: Review of the development of health physics activity in Japan Author(s): Izawa, (Japan) ) Masami (National Inst. of Radiological Source: Hoken Butsuri (Japan) v17:3.
