    Abstract

    The present report deals with the measurement of fall-out radioactivity in the Faroes in 1963.
    Radiostrontum (and Cs-137 in most instances) were determined in regularly collected samples of precipitation, grass, milk, potatoes, sheep, fish, and drinking water. In addition, analyses of spot samples of soil, sea water, sea plants, whales, birds, vegetables, grain, cheese, eggs, and human deciduous teeth were carried out.
    Estimates of the mean contents of Sr-90 and Cs-137 in the human diet in the Faroes in 1963 are given.
