Progress Report in Postattack Ecology

Laboratory and field studies have been underway for two years at ORNL on movement of fallout simulant and Cs-137 through plants, animals, soil, and water. Gamma and beta doses to organisms varied with time and location. Simulant interception, retention, and weathering on plants varied with simulant...

Zusammenfassung:	Laboratory and field studies have been underway for two years at ORNL on movement of fallout simulant and Cs-137 through plants, animals, soil, and water. Gamma and beta doses to organisms varied with time and location. Simulant interception, retention, and weathering on plants varied with simulant size, species, and weather. CS-137 transfers to fescue and cotton rats are reported. Radiation effects in animals depended on species, life stage, fertility rates, dose rate, and dose.
