Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: In June 1975 a radiological survey was conducted of the terrestrial environment of Bikini and Eneu islands (Bikini Atoll) NTS to evaluate the potential radiation dose to the returning Bikini population. In this report, we present measurements of the radionuclide concentration in soil profiles and in dominant species of edible and nonedible, indicator plants. The use of these data to derive relationships to predict the plant uptake of radionuclides from soil is described. Approximately 620 soil and vegetation samples from Bikini and Eneu Islands were analyzed by Ge(Li) gamma spectrometry and by wet chemistry. The predominant radionuclides in these samples were /sup 60/Co, /sup 90/Sr, 241/Am.; /sup 137/Cs, /sup 239,240/Pu, Major Descriptors: *BIKINI -- RADIATION MONITORING; KINETICS; *SOILS -- RADIONUCLIDE MIGRATION /sup 241/Pu, *PLANTS -- and /sup RADIONUCLIDE * Descriptors: AMERICIUM 241; CESIUM 137; COBALT 60; ENVIRONMENT; FALLOUT DEPOSITS; FOOD; FOOD CHAINS; PLUTONIUM 239; PLUTONIUM 240; PLUTONIUM 241; RADIOACTIVITY; STRONTIUM 90; TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS Broader Terms: ACTINIDE ISOTOPES; ACTINIDE NUCLEI; ALKALI METAL ISOTOPES; ALKALINE EARTH ISOTOPES; ALPHA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; AMERICIUM ISOTOPES; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-MINUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BIOMASS; ny CESIUM ISOTOPES; COBALT ISOTOPES; ECOSYSTEMS; ENERGY SOURCES; —_— ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORT; EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI; EVEN-ODD NUCLEI; FALLOUT; Cc) HEAVY NUCLEI; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLEI; INTERNAL CONVERSION RADIOISOTOPES; ISLANDS; ISOMERIC TRANSITION ISOTOPES; ISOTOPES; = MARSHALL ISLANDS; MASS TRANSFER; MINUTES LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; Cc MONITORING; NUCLEI; ODD-EVEN NUCLEI; ODD-ODD NUCLEI; PLUTONIUM ISOTOPES ur> ; RADIOISOTOPES; RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES; STRONTIUM ISOTOPES; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES Subject Categories: 510301* -- Environment, Terrestrial -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Soil -- (-1987) 510302 -- Environment, Terrestrial -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Terrestrial Ecosystems & Food Chains -- (-1987)
