In an organ like the brain, different topographical regions may vary in their susceptibility to ionizing radiation. The most sensitive area is the brainstem

The model also indicated a strong relationship between summer concentration peaks on the east coast of Ireland and the strength of the Western Irish Gyre. Sudden increases of Tc-99 concentrations at Balbriggan coincide with peak of sea surface temperatures when the gyre is strong
Tc-99 becomes concentrated offshore in seaweed, winkles and mussels. A concentration factor of 120,000 has been reported in seaweed and one of 650,000 has been measured in the green gland of lobster. It may be necessary to reassess the risk to human health following the ingestion
US NRC allows 22,200 Bq/liter of Technetium 99 into the sewer system and 2,220 Bq into the waterways. clearly exceeds the maximum 22 Bq/liter allowed in US “Clean Water”. One US Nuclear Station which we examined, Farley, reports liquid emissions of only the short-lived Tc 99m,
