Abstract In this study, the accumulation of90Sr in front leg bones of sheep (meta carpus), which were 1–6 years old and originated from different regions of Turkey, was investigated. It was shown that90Sr activity strongly depends on the age of the sheep as well as on its origin. Since90Sr is produced during the fissioning process of uranium isotopes in nuclear reactions, the effect of radiation due to nuclear bomb experiments, nuclear reactor accidents or other radioactive pollutants in different regions of Turkey can be concluded from the results obtained.
