Abstract

THE ultimate concern in strontium-90 fall-out monitoring is the amount of the nuclide assimilated in man. Several world-wide studies have been made to determine the concentration of this fission product in human bone. Kulp1 defined the strontium-90 content of bones of children and adults up to 1959, while Bryant published similar United Kingdom bone results for 19582,3 and early 19594.
