Table 31b—CESIUM-137 DETERMINATIONSIN MILK, 1957-1958
(Measured at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory)

.

———

Coding for 1957-1958 Milk Samples
The 1957~1958 milk samples are tabulated by states and then In order of date of measutement. The columns are as
follows:

serial

1, Serial number

22000:

2. Subject code and date of measurement
4. «" specific activity measured in gamma rays per second per pound
§, Cs/K gammaratio

Note: In all the tabulations, the K™ calculation is based on the assumption that this is the only nuclide counting in this

22000:

channel, During periods of weapons testing, abnormal values of potassium are due to the presence of Ba-La-140,

E

22000.

Additional calculation is necessary to establish the true barium and cesium levels at these times, The machine
program is being rewritten to accomplish this, The Cs/K gamma ratio can be converted to micromicrocuries of
