Here we report on some preliminary Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurements of plutonium isolated from seven composite soil samples collected from Bikini, Enewetak, and Rongelap Atolls in the northern Marshall Islands. These data show that 240Pu/239Pu isotopic signatures in surface soils from the Marshall Island vary significantly, and could potentially be used to help quantify the range and extent of fallout deposition (and associated impacts) from specific weapons tests. 137Cs and 60Co were also determined on the same set of soil samples for comparative purposes.}, pages = {151--159}, title = {Measurement of 240Pu/239Pu isotopic ratios in soils from the Marshall Islands using ICP-MS.}, volume = {278}, year = {2001} }
