Abstract: More than 16,000 radiochemical analyses were performed on about
5400 samples of soils, vegetation, animals, fish, invertebrates, and
water to establish amounts of /sup 90/Sr, /sup 137/Cs, /sup 241/Am, and
plutonium isotopes in the Northern Marshall Islands. Three laboratories
were contracted by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to perform
the radiochemical analyses: Environmental Analysis Laboratory (EAL),
Richmond,

California;

Eberline Instrument Corporation

(EIC),

Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Laboratory of Radiation Ecology (LRE),
University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. The analytical precision
and accuracy were monitored by regularly including duplicate samples
and natural matrix standards in each group of about 100 samples
analyzed. Based on the duplicates and standards, over 83% of the

radiochemical analyses in this survey were acceptable - 97% of the
analyses by EAL,

LRE.;
