137Cs And 90Sr In The Human Food Chain In The Republic Of Croatia

The transfer of radionuclides from fallout to individual foods has been continuously studied, in several areas in the Republic of Croatia, since 1959. In this paper investigations were focused on the long-lived fission radionuclides: 137Cs and 90Sr. In order to estimate doses received to the Croatian population the caesium and strontium levels in the diet were calculated and analyzed. According to the results the risk to the population from 137Cs and 90Sr ingestion was highest over the sixties and in the year of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, but the content of radionuclides in the foods were below the permissible levels.
