    Abstract

    A RELATIONSHIP between the radioactive contamination of milk, the rate of fallout and the deposit on soil has been suggested by Tajima1. C = prFr + pdFd, in which C is the mean annual contamination of milk (pCi 90Sr/g Ca), Fr is the annual deposit (mCi 90Sr/km 2), Fd is the cumulative deposit of 90Sr (mCi 90Sr/km2) and pr, pd are the proportionality factors related respectively to Fr and Fd.
