Abstract
Data on radionuclide transfer to animals from research performed in the former Soviet Union were reviewed to collate transfer coefficient values (Ff) to animal tissues such as liver, kidney and bone, but not muscle which has previously been reported. The derived values were compared with selected data published in the English language literature. The new data are mainly for 90Sr and 137Cs, although some data were also provided for 3H, 54Mn, 59Fe, 60Co, 22Na 65Zn, 131I and U. The Russian language data may provide a basis for better informed evaluation of radiation dose from the consumption of such animal products, which can form important components of the diet in some countries.
