Radioactivity was determined in the milk from 39 patients and in amniotic fluid, urine and placentas from 17 patients shortly after the Chernobyl disaster by means of a beta and gamma-scintillation counter. Elevated radioactivity (7.6 nCi/l beta activity and 7.4 nCi/l gamma activity) was found only in one sample of breast milk.
