OSTI ID:4059338
Fifty-seven thyroid samples were made available by three New England hospitals during the period May 14, 1962, through January 10, 1963. Up to the middle of September, /sup 131/I was detected in three out of 37 samples (range 47 to 51 pC/g). Positive values for /sup 131/I were found in 6 out of 15 post- mortem thyroids from September 15 through October 26 (range 41 to 58 pC/g). From November 4 through January 10, 1963, one positive value (29 pC/g) of /sup 131/I was noted among five samples collected. The highest individual thyroid burden noted represented about one-sixth of the RP0 of 1.5 rem/yr, and the average of 20 samples after September 15, 1962, represented about one-eighth of the RPG of 0.5 rem/yr.
