II I IIIIII IIIIIiIIIA comparison of the relative distribution of strontium-90 inthe 1959 milling products with that obtained in 1958 is shown in Table 3In 1959;, as well as in 1958,, patent flour had the lowest and bran hadthe highest strontium-90 concentration. Comparing these concentrationswith the concentration of the wheat from which they were milled^ oneobtains:Ayg, uuc Sr/kg of B_ran_ 231 = 3 73Avg\ 141 c Sr yu/kg of Wheat 62Ayg 0 uuc Sr^/kg of Patent Flour H = 0.19 -%• = 0.19Avg 0 JJ.M.C Sr 90/kg of Wheat 62 47* Production weighted averages of nine states,** Production weighted averages of five states,,These data indicate that it may be possible to predict thestrontium-90 concentration of bran and flour once an analysis of thewheat,, from which these products are milled^ has been made c128
