Abstract
I-129/I isotopic ratios have been measured in algae samples, collected along the north-west portion of the Pacific coastline of North Americ a, as part of a preliminary study, to determine the extent and concent ration of I-129 leaving the Columbia River. These isotopic ratios were found to be in excess of the nuclear weapons testing level, however a ll were significantly lower than those previously measured from Europe an nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities.
