【 摘 要 】

Samples of coyote feces and cryptogams (mostly mosses) were collected and analyzed over a two-year period (1995-1996) from areas immediately outside of the 200 East and 200 West Areas of the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington. These samples were delivered to a laboratory and analyzed for radionuclides including cesium-1 37, strontium-90, plutonium (isotopic), and uranium (isotopic).
