Strontium-90 results from the Environmental MeasurementsLaboratory's (Em)Global Fallout

Program (GFP) are presented for the years 1987through 1990. Quarterly 90Srdepositionresults for the
66 sampling locations of EML's GFP were generally low, indicating that there was no significantrelease
of fission products into the atmosphere during this period. The global %Srdeposition during these 4 years
was lower than it has been for any similar period since this program began in 1958. Since there was no
major atmosphericsource of 90Srduring this period, the global cumulative deposit of 90Srcontinued to
decrease by radioactive decay to a 27 year low of 3 11.4 Pbq.

ntroduction
As a result of increased atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons, concerns over the fate of radioactivity
released ?om these detonations and related implications to national security during the arms race, the
EnvironmentalMeasurements Laboratory (EML) initiated a program known as the Global Fallout
Program (GFP) in 1958. This program has been operated via one of the largest global samplingnetworks
ever assembled in the world. The GFP had over 140 sampling stations during the 1960s (Hardy, 1977).
From 1987 to 1990, the network consisted of the 66 sites shown in Figure 1, and listed in Table 1 along
with other site characteristics. The intent of the GFP was to obtain radionuclide deposition idormation
which could be used to address factors related to the global transport and fate of radionuclides following
an atmospheric release. Around the same time that this program was being developed several other
global studies on fission-produced radioactivity were being pursued. These studies included investigations of atmospheric transport and residence times in both the stratosphere and the troposphere, soil
burdens, and the subsequent assimilationinto food and the human body. An essentially complete
understanding of the processes affecting the fate of released radioactivity resulted, which helped to
identify the significance of this material to human health.
Since it is considered important to maintain a record of the global deposition, distribution and
inventory of fallout radioactivity, the GFP has remained an active program. Initially, GFP data included
several of the radionuclides produced during weapons testing. Strontium-90 was chosen as the primary
radionuclide of interest due to its unique properties. To begin with, %r is produced with a relativelyhigh
fission yield (3.7 PBq MCi per Megaton) during the detonation of nuclear weapons. Strontium-90 is also
an beta-emitting radionuclide with a fairly long half-life (28 years). Finally, 90Sris readily incorporated
into the biosphere as a result of chemical properties it shares with calcium, an essential element for most
organisms including human. Together these properties have important implications on the effect that
nuclear weapons fallout 90Srcan have on human health. Strontium-90 was considered the most important
radionuclide released during the atmospheric weapons testing based on worldwide health hazards
(UNSCEAR, 1982). Ems ?Sr deposition database is the most extensiveof its kind in the world.

This report has been prepared to present additional new data that has been added to E m s database.
Numerous documents similar to this one have been published regularly since the GFP began to provide
the scient%c comunity, policy-makers and the general public with information on radioactive fallout.
Three compilation reports have been published to date (Hardy 1977; Larsen, 1984a; Larsen, 1985). The
database now serves as a direct source of fallout records for contemporaryinvestigations addressing
radiological concerns. These records have also proven extremely useful for studies in several other fields
that have utilized the unique and well-defined source of radioactivity as tracers of different processes.
efhods
There have been very few changes in the procedures for the operation of the GFP since the years when
the %r database was first generated. The same sampling devices are being used since the beginning of
the program. These include two different open containers, a stainless-steelpot and a polyethylene bucket,
and an ion-exchangeunit (see Table 1). The open containers are simple devices that collect all the
material which is deposited in them. The ion-exchange sampling unit performs a fist-order extraction of
the bulk deposition at the sampling site. It consist of a funnel connected in series to a column packed
with Dowex-50 ion-exchangeresin. The ion-exchangecolumnremoves the ?3r from the precipitation as
it passes through the column. The sampling devices are exposed to collect a sample each calendar month,
except for at the Australian stations where the samplers are exposed for a 3-month (quarterly) period. The
area exposed to bulk depositionranges from 640 to 760 cm2depending on which device is used. The
samplers and their operation are described in more detail in EMLs Procedure Manual, Section 2 (Chieco
et al., 1992).
The samples are sent to EML and prepared for analysis. The samples collected in pots and buckets are
passed through ion-exchange columns in the laboratory. One column is used for each 3-month quarter of
samples. The samples collected with the ion-exchange units are composted into quarterly samples by
combining three months of samples. The ?Sr analyses are then performed on quarterly samples (prior to
1976the monthly samples were analyzed) by either EML or contractor laboratories. The radiochemical
methods used to process, separate and count the samples for
analysis are similar to those described in
EMLs Procedures Manual, Section 4 (Chieco et aZ., 1992). Blind quality control blanks and spiked
-2-
reference samples are included with each set of samples and represent about 10% of the total samples
analyzed. The contractors are required to meet specifiedcriteria regarding agreementwith quality control
samples and counting errors for all samples.

Once the data is obtained it is evaluated for adherence to the contract specifications, converted to
obtain values of ? 3 r deposition per unit area (Bq m"), and added to the %r depositiondatabase. The
database is then used to update estimates of the total annual deposition and global burden of ?3r. The
method used to determine these values has been described by Volchok (1965). Representative%
depositionvalues (Bq m") are derived for each lo-degree latitude band based on the site data averages.
Deposition values are obtained for the unsampled regions (north of 70% and south of 70's) by
exbapolatingto a deposition of zero at the poles. The total
deposition (TBq) is calculated for each
latitude band and then summed for a global total.
ata Quality and Validation
As already mentioned, the contractors must meet establishedcriteria to ensure that EML's database
represents the best quality possible. Table 2 shows the results of blank samples submitted to four
laboratories that performed analysis of samples collected from 1987through 1990. The laboratories are
. identified by letters to maintain anonymity. The number of results reported in Table 2 is proportional to
the total number of samples analyzed by that particular laboratory. The mean blank values for each of the
laboratories was below the established criteria set at 17 Bq. One result reported by laboratory A and two
results reported by laboratory C were above this limit, but the remainder of the results were generally well
below this value. The blank result of 48.3 f 10.8 Bq was obtained due to difficultiesencounteredin
processing a batch of samples. There is no apparent explanation for the other two high blank values.
Results of spiked reference samples are shown in Table 3. The contract specifiesthat the reported
values must be within 20% of the known quantity added to the sample as suggested by Harley (1961) and
Hardy (1973). All four of the laboratories had mean percent recovery values within this range, but again
some individual analyses did not meet this criteria. Three, nine and three of the reported values analyzed
by laboratoryA, C and D, respectively, were outside the contract limit. One of the values reported by
-3-
laboratory C was in the same problem batch mentioned above. The apparent difficultyencountered with
the analyses of four samples by laboratory C and the three by laboratory Dinvolved ashing of the samples
prior to transfer to the contractor. There is no obvious explanation for the remaining seven results that did
not meet the established criteria.
Another set of criteria that was establishedto help ensure the high quality of %Srdata was limits for
relative counting errors. The relative counting error limits set in the analytical contracts are as follows:
30% for results greater than 17 up through 34 Bq; 15% for results greater than 34 up through 83 Bq; 8%
for results greater than 83 up through 167 Bq; and 4%for results greater than 167 Bq. No limit is defined
for reported results of 17 Bq and lower since these values are anticipated to be at or below the detection
l i t s . The superscript letters following the data in Table 4 indicate the relative counting errors. Few of
the reported results exceeded the limits described above.
In addition to the criteria established to ensure the quality of the data, the database has been evaluated
by direct comparisons with other programs. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA)
also had a global program to investigate the deposition of radioactivity. This program was also based on
a global network similar in size to EML's GFP. The primary radionuclide ofinterest in the UKAEA
program was 137Cs,

but estimates of %Srdeposition were typically estimated by using a mean
to %Sr
ratio. Table 5 presents the UKAEA global %Srdeposition data fiom 1958 through 1990 (Playford et al.,
1993), along with EML's GFP data. The largest differencebetween the annual %Srdeposition databases
is 58% in 1970, but overall the data are in good agreement. EML's annual %Srdepositionvalues are
generally higher than the UKAEA values during the early period (1958 through 1992) of these programs,
and the opposite is true during the later years. This comparison also indicates that E m s methodology is
more sensitivethan the UKAEA's for determiningthe global %Srdeposition since the UKAEA program
could only report upper limit values fiom 1982 through 1990. The cumulative%Srdeposit data shows
even better agreement than the annuaI deposition. The largest coefficient of variation in the cumulative
!"Sr deposit is 6%. It is likely that the differences between the two annual !"Sr depositiondatabases can
be accountedfor as a result of varying meteorologicalconditions at the sampling locations between the
networks (Hardy et al., 1968). Both programs calculate global averages values based on a few individual
locations. Such an approach, although theoretically practical (Volchok, 1965), is certain to have some
unlcnown error associated with it. The comparison between these two independentprograms would
indicatethat this error is not great.
-4-
Since the release of radionuclides during atmospheric weapons testing was well studied, other data is
also availablefor comparison. Feely (1977) matched the GFP-derived estimates of %Srdepositionwith
%Srdeposition expected as a result of the net loss of %Srin the stratosphereduring 1974to 1976. The
GFP estimate was 18% higher than the stratosphericloss. This is a good agreement since both estimates
are subject to uncertainties. Larsen (1984b) made a similar comparisonwith stratospheric %Srdata fiom
1976through 1982. Again, the results indicate that there is good agreement between the loss of %Sr fiom
the stratosphere and the global deposition values estimated by the GFP. These results indicate that the
overall uncertainty of the annual estimates of global %Srdeposition may be as high as 20%. This level of
uncertainty would not significantly affect the interpretationor use of the GFP data.
Quarterly %Sr deposition (Bq m) and precipitation (cm) data fiom 1987through 1990 are rzported for
the individual sampling locations shown in Table 4. The sites are listed in order of increasing distance
fiom 90Nlatitude. Annual totals of the quarterly results are provided in the last column of Table 4.
Tables 6 to 9 list the average %Srdeposited (l3q m) in each 10-degreelatitude band and the entire
world for theyears 1987,1988,1989 and 1990, respectively. Averages are provided for each quarter
along with an annual average. The number of sites used to calculate the average deposition are given next
to the values. The letter E, indicates that no results were availableto determinean average for the
latitude band, so the average was calculated by extrapolation as mentioned in the Methods Section. The
average deposition data is used to calculate the total %Srdeposits (TBq) in the latitude bands and the
world shown in Tables 10 to 13 for the years 1987,1988,1989 and 1990, respectively. These tables
present total deposition values for each quarter and a summation for the year. In Tables to 17, the totaI
annual %Srdeposition is added to the previous global data to obtain the cumulative (decayed) burden of
%Sr (PBq)in each latitude band and the world for the years 1987,1988,1989 and 1990, respectively.
The data shows the cumulative deposit at the end of each quarter. Figure 2 is a histogram showing the
latitudinal distribution of the global %Srburden at the end of 1990. The percent of the total global burden
present in each 10-degreelatitude band is also provided in this figure.
-5-
The total annual
deposition (PBq) and fission yields of atmospheric weapons testing (MT) for the
Northern and Southern Hemispheres are reported in Table 18. This table lists data from the inception of
the GFP (1958) to the end of 1990. Figure 3 also displays some of the historical data available in the
GFP. Figure 3A is a plot of the annual global ?Sr deposition (PBq)fiom 1958 to 1990. A graph of the
annual fission yields fiom atmosphericweapons testing fiom 1945 to 1990 is shown in Figure 3B, and a
graph of the cumulative global deposit of %Sr(PBq) from 1958 to L990 is shown in Figure 3C. The value
(85.1 PBq) indicated in Figure 3C as the pre- 1958 ?Sr deposit was estimated fiom the fission yields of
tests conducted prior to 1957 by assuming that each Megaton of nuclear explosivepower generates 3.7
PBq of 5 r .
iscussion
The bulk of the data in the GFP database has already been presented and interpreted in numerous
reports over theyears (e.g., Monetti and Larsen, 1991). As more data becomes availableit is compared
and appended to the historic database.
The site specific %Srdeposition data in Table 4 shows that the majority of the 1987 through 1990
values were low and indicate that there was no significant atmospheric source of %Sron a global scale.
This is in agreement with the fact that there were no announced atmosphericdetonations or large-scale
nuclear accidents. Also the presence of fission products in the surface air samples collected around the
world was generally below the detection limit as noted in EMLs Surface Air Sampling Program (Larsen
and Sanderson, 1991). Thirty-seven percent of the quarterly %r deposition results reported in Table 4
had a value of zero, and another 37% of the data had a value below 0.1 Bq m-2. The remaining 26% of
the results generally were low values with high uncertainties. The %Srdepositionreported at these
locations may simply have been due to the resuspension of previously deposited material. Some of the
higher results are more interesting and require other explanations. Although the highest quarterly%Sr
deposition, 7.4 Bq m, was observed in the sample collected in Peru during the third quarter of 1989, this
data is subject to high errors due to analfical difficulties. The next few locations in a series of decreasing
quarterly %r deposition are all in Australia (Darwin during the fourth quarter of 1987, Townsvile during
the third quarter of 1989 and Perth during the fourth quarter of 1987, with 6.2,2.1 and 1.8 Bq m,
-6-
respectively). The counting errors for these results were all low, but there were some unresolved
problems with the quality control samples analyzed with several of the Australian samples. If there has
been any atmosphericsource of 90Srother than resuspension at any of the sampling stations during this
period it would have been of limited quantity and extent. More detailed studies would be necessary to
verify and identifypotential radionuclide sources at specific locations of concern.
The averaged %Srdeposition data reported in Tables 6 through 9 reflect the individual site data. The
few elevated values resulted fiom the increased deposition at the individual locations noted above. There
is no apparent temporal or spatial pattern to suggest that any event resulted in a global atmospheric
release of radioactivity. The total %Srdeposited (Tables 10 to 13) during this period of time was
insignificantrelative to the burden of %Srpresent at the time (Tables 14 to 17). The quantity of %Sr
deposited from 1987 to 1990 was the lowest it is has been over any other 4-year period since the GFP
began. Since the total %Srdeposition was less than the decay of the %Srburden, the cumulative %Sr
deposit decreased from 1987 to 1990. At the end of 1990, the global burden of %Sr(311.4 PBq) was
lower than it has been in 27 years.
The bimodal latitudinal distributionof the global %Srburden shown in Figure 2 is a result of factors
controlling the transport of radioactivity released into the atmosphere. Atmospheric weapons tests
injected most of the radioactivity into the stratosphere (Bennett, 1978). This material tended to remain in
the stratosphere until the spring of the followingyear when it passed through the disruptions in the
tropopause at midlatitudes in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (UNSCEAR, 1982). Once in the
troposphere, the material was carried around the world within Hadley cells. The fallout radionuclides
were then deposited onto the earth's surface by both wet and dry deposition. This circulation pattern
maintained latitudinal bands of peak radioactivity at the midlatitudes.
Nuclear weapons testing began in 1945, but the total fission yields produced were low until the early
1950's (Figure 2B). Over 90% of the weapons testing occurred in the Northern Hemisphere since 1958,
but only 76% of the %Srwas deposited in the Northern Hemisphere (Table 18). Most of the %Sr
deposited in the Southern Hemisphere was from Northern Hemisphere tests and was transported across
the equator while it was in the stratosphere (Juzdan, 1988). Additionally, many of the tests conducted in
the Northern Hemisphere were performed near the equator (Carter and Moghissi, 1977). The peak of
weapons testing in 1962 resulted in the peak annual %Srdeposition in 1963 (Figure 2A). Another minor
peak in the annual %Srdeposition database during 1959 followed the increased testing the year before.
-7-
The cur;lulative%Srdeposit increased sharply during the early 1960s because of the extensivetesting
conducted during this period. A moratorium on atmosphericweapons testing was observed since 1963 by
all the countries involved except for China. *Sincethis time, the fission yields have been low comparedto
the earlier testing yields. The annual global ?Sr deposition sharply decreased as a result of the 1963
moratorium. The cumulative global
deposit reached a maximum value (45 1.4 PBq)in 1966 and was
maintained at this level for 6 years. Since 1972 the cumulative %Srdeposit has been decreasing since the
radioactive decay of the global 90Srburden has been greater than the amount released into the atmosphere.
The last atmospheric weapons test was performed by China at the Lop Nor test site on October 16,1980.
Most of the =Sr associated with this test was deposited in 1981. The %Srdeposited dining 1986 was due
to the Chernobyl accident in the Ukraine Republic of the former Soviet Union. Strontium-90 was
dishiuted throughout the Northern Hemisphere, but the event was primarily of regional importance with
greatest effects in Europe. The GFP was able to provide some interesting information on the transport
and fate of this release (Monetti and Larsen, 1991). There was no significantglobal %Srdeposit fiom
1987through 1990, and the cumulativedeposit continued to decrease.
cknowledgments
EML is extremely grateful for the support of the site operators who maintain the deposition sampling
stations around the world. Their efforts are greatly appreciated but often not formally recognized. We
would also like to thank all of those who aided us in establishingand maintaining the network. This
includes those individuals or groups who served as contacts to ensure that supplies and information was
relayed to the appropriate locations. This program could not have been accomplished without the
assistance of all these people.
