Detailed Measurement of 131I in Air,Vegetation and Milk Around Three Operating Reactor Sites.

摘要

A study at three nuclear reactor sites to determine 131I concentrations in the air-grass-cow-milk links of the food chain,as these are related to releases from the nuclear power plants,was prepared. The 131I gaseous effluent release rates were measured in terms of other chemical forms of iodine and compared with previous measurements. Concentrations in vegetation were not generally observable,while measured milk concentrations appeared directly related to rainfall. Maximum air-to-vegetation transfer velocities were calculated,and two vegetation-to-milk transfer parameters were determined.
