Abstract

Radiocesium concentrations in cow's milk from two producing districts in Japan were measured monthly for three years following the Chernobyl accident. The Chernobyl contribution in¹³⁷Cs concentration was evaluated from the¹³⁴Cs concentration and the¹³⁷Cs/¹³⁴Cs ratio. The highest¹³⁷Cs concentration of 0.6 Bq l^–1 was observed in May 1986 and the Chernobyl contribution has decreased during three years to levels corresponding to the contribution from past nuclear weapons fallout. Annual values of child internal dose through milk consumption were estimated at 0.6, 0.3 and 0.1 Sv for the first, the second and the third year following the accident, respectively.
