The influence of water potassium concentration on 137Cs excretion from fish.
Results are reported of the investigation on the peculiarities of 137Cs release from carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) acclimatized to different potassium concentrations in water. The dynamics of radiocesium release are characterized by slow and fast components. The 137Cs release rates observed in the experiments with different water potassium concentrations were not markedly different from the point of view of middle-term radioecological predictions.
