Country of Origin: Japan Abstract: Bikini ash (I) was prepared by igniting the heavily contaminated substances on board No. 5 Fukuryu Maru at 650/sup 0/. The I was extracted with H/sub 2/0, concentrated HCl, and 2% citric acid. The acid extracts were neutralized to pH 5.0 to 5.5 with NaOH. Squash-plant leaves were painted with these extracts, after 6 days the plant parts were assayed for radioactivity. Uptake and translocation of radioactive fission products to all plant parts was found, but with the major portion ’in above ground parts. Wheat seeds grown in natural and synthetic soil mixtures showed a much depressed uptake of fission materials. Most of the radioactivity was found in the roots. About 10% was translocated to aerial portions of plants.; Major Descriptors: *FISSION PRODUCTS -- ROOT ABSORPTION; *FISSION PRODUCTS -- UPTAKE; *PLANTS -- RADIONUCLIDE KINETICS; *SEEDS -- RADIONUCLIDE KINETICS Descriptors: ASHES; BIKINI; CITRIC ACID; FALLOUT; HYDROCHLORIC ACID; LEAVES ; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS; RADIOACTIVITY; SODIUM HYDROXIDES; TRANSLOCATION; WHEAT Broader Terms: ABSORPTION; ALKALI METAL COMPOUNDS; CARBOXYLIC ACIDS; CEREALS; EXPLOSIONS; GRAMINEAE; GRASS; HYDROGEN COMPOUNDS; HYDROXIDES; HYDROXY ACIDS; INORGANIC ACIDS; ISLANDS; ISOTOPES; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MATERIALS; MICRONESIA; OCEANIA; ORGANIC ACIDS; ORGANIC COMPOUNDS; OXYGEN COMPOUNDS; PLANTS; RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS; RESIDUES; SODIUM COMPOUNDS; UPTAKE Subject Categories: 560173* -- Radiation Effects -- Nuclide Kinetics & Toxicology -- Plants -- (-1987) 510302 -- Environment, Terrestrial -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Terrestrial Ecosystems & Food Chains -- (-1987) 450200 -- Military Technology, Weaponry, & National Defense -- Nuclear Explosions & Explosives 10/5/840 (Item 540 from file: 103) 00704834 EDB-81-013084 Title: Separation of the radioactive elements in the muscle of skipjack by ion-exchange resin, and confirmation of the presence of radioactive zine Author(s): Takase, Subfile: TIC A.
