title: [Modelling of fish contamination with 90Sr in relation to the calcium concentrations in water].
abstract: A set of data on the equilibrium concentration factors of 90Sr in fish in relation to the Ca concentrations in water was collected and analyzed. An empiric relationship was obtained on the basis of statistical processing of this dataset: CF(90Sr, Bq/kg w.w.) = 3940(1770-6110)/[Ca, mg/L]water. The range of observed data on the concentration factors of 90Sr in fish is from 20 to 4000 L/kg (about 200 times). The statistical relationship obtained in the paper allows one to reduce this uncertainty by more than 50 times. The formula adequately describes equilibrium concentration factors of 90Sr both in freshwater and in marine fish. A dynamics model approach is described for the cases of accidental contamination of water bodies, when the equilibrium approaches are not appropriate.
