Pigs. Strontium-90 and the concentrations of transuranic radionuclides are
low in most soft tissues and are highest in bone, liver, and lungs.
The concentration of !3/cs in soft tissues in pigs on Bikini Island is
higher by about a factor of 7 to 12 than in pigs on Eneu Island and reflects
the general difference in radionuclide concentrations in soil and vegetation
On the two islands.
The pig that had been on Bikini about 8 y and the two
Pigs that were on Eneu about 2 y provide the best basis for comparison of
