- Summary
- I/sup 131/ concentrations in thyroids of deer from Washington, Colorado, and Maryland and of caribou from Alaska were measured following the resumption of nuclear weapons tests by the USSR on September 1, 1961. Maximum concentrations occurred nearly two months after the first nuclear test and then decreased it an effective half time of about 15 days. Washington and Colorado deer thyroids contained the highest concentrations, Maryland thyroids were median, and Alaskan caribou thyroids contained lowest concentrations. (auth)
