A comparison of radiocaesium transfer coefficients for sheep milk and muscle derived from both field and laboratory studies.
Radiocaesium transfer coefficients for sheep milk and muscle have been reviewed and recommendations for a range of Ffs and Fms for different situations are presented. The inherent problems in determining transfer coefficients from both field and laboratory studies are discussed.
