ANALTTICALPRCCEDIRES.
The analytical methods used for determining total radiostronthim,
total strontium, Sr*° and radium are given in detail in this
apnendix. The majority of the samples encountered were bone,| soil,
vegetation and foeds. Where different orocedures are require for
handling these different types of samoles, the methods are gifen
separately.
The actual methods are orefaced by charts for determining the

theoretical contribution of radiostrontium to total fission pmpduct

activity and the S5r7°/5r®* activity ratio as a function of ti
gince burst.

-

The methods reported are those actually used in the analyses shown

in this report, but a summary of analytical develcpments in prgeress

is given at the end of this appendix.
