Gamma-emitting radionuclides were found in benthic fishes from
depths of 50-280O m off the Oregon coast from 1964-1971. 65Zn, 60Co,
54Mn, 144Ce, 137Cs and 40K were present. Zinc-65, originating mainly
from the nuclear reactors on the Columbia River, was the predominant
artifically-induced radionuclide. Levels of 6Zn per g and specific...
