“…During this period, the first purified _Np and ='Pu were produced for the Space Nuclear Auxiliary Power (SNAP) program. Waste water from this operation was mixed with the normal weapons-grade m'u°Pu waste discharges (Emery and Klopfer 1974). An accumulative discharge for the period from 1959 through 1967 was reported for 1967 as 7.86 kg (96% of the total plutonium inventory) (Emery and Klopfer 1974).…”

“…Differences between the biological affinities of ^Am relative to plutonium isotopes have been reported (Pentreath, 1981), and several authors (Hakanson, 1973;Emery, 1974a and1974b;Volchock, 1975) have reported a difference in the biological affinities of individual plutonium isotopes in the terrestrial and aquatic environment as well as in the laboratory (Thompson, 1967;Mahlum, 1969, andBair, 1974). Beasley and Fowler (1976) could not detect any preferential accumulation of 2 3 8~u over 239 + ^OPu in polychaete worms kept in sediments contaminated with these isotopes in a variety of ways.…”
