Strontium Program: Summary Report for February 1958

Technical report was prepared by the Health and Safety Laboratory (HASL) with the objective of presenting a current picture of the Strontium Program. Abstract: Strontium 90 levels in fallout, milk, canned fish and tap water are summarized for data available up to February 30, 1958. Original data submitted during the month of February is included as an appendix. Data are presented to show the amount of Strontium 90 in fallout at sampling stations within and outside the United States.

Some Variable Contributors to Natural Background

It was suggested that radon concentrations in air and potassium fertilizers on the ground contribute appreciably to natural background radiation levels. The effect on natural background gamma radiation from radon and its associated daughters in equilibrium and from potassium in fertilizers has been calculated and found to be negligible. Background radiation intensities have been assumed to be on the order of 10 [mu]rad/hr.
