Description:   Muskrat and beaver from the Elliot Lake area were sampled for radium-226 to evaluate the effects of age, sex, species, and environmental Ra-226 levels on the skeletal uptake of the animals.  Muskrat and beaver showed elevated Ra-226 concentrations which reflected environmental levels.  Age and sex had no influence on Ra-226 levels.  The effects of Ra-226 uptake on the food chain were discussed.
