Abstract A survey of radionuclides in air, precipitation, streams, sediments, soils, and selected plants was conducted in the Olympic National Park, Northwestern Washington State. Thirty-one radionuclides were observed in concentrations that were 3 to 4 fold higher than those observed in arctic Alaska. The environmental factors involved in the movement of these radionuclides through the food web and the trophic levels of the ecosystem were investigated. Rough calculations of the input-output relationships are made and trophic levels are compared.
