Accumulation of Radioactive Elements in Fish Immersed in Pile Effluent Water
The discharge into the Columbia River of Pile effluent water containing radioactive elements has led to problems on the effect of the radiations on fish living in the river. One aspect of this concerned the accumulation of radioactive materials in fish. Some work has been done on the metabolism of mixtures of fission products and of several specific elements, but not with the particular mixture of materials discharged in the Pile effluent. The Fish Laboratory provided suitable material for the assay of concentration in fish at this site. The activity of Pile effluent water arises mainly from sup 24 Na and sup 56 Mn with about 1% of miscellaneous longer lived elements. The half life of the sup 56 Mn is 2.5 hours, requiring rather rapid analysis of fish in order to determine the concentration at the time of removal from the active water. sup 24 Na activity, with 14.8 hours half life, could be measured with ease. 1 ref., 3 figs., 4 tabs.
