Abstract
Samples from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's total-diet, market-basket program, samples of imported foods, and samples coilected near nuclear power plants were analyzed for radionuclides. Most radionuclides were below the limit of detection for a majority of the samples; however, data are reported for 3H, 90Sr and 137Cs in certain samples. Generally a downward trend is observed for 90Sr when data for the 5-yr period were compared. The total dietary intake of either 90Sr or 137Cs is well within Range 1 of the Federal Radiation Council (FRC) radiation protection guides for these radionuclides.
