Abstract:

Experimental verification of a method for the prediction of the total intake commitment of 137Cs, 90Sr and 131I from milk by average members of a human population following deposition of fallout on pasture is presented. The method has been expanded to account for extended and multiple depositions and delays in pasturing cows. As a dietary countermeasure against radiostrontium secretion into milk sodium alginate was about twice as effective as aluminum phosphate gel. Ferric ferrocyanide fed to cows produced over a 90 reduction in 137Cs in milk.
