OSTI ID:4067926

Progress is reported in a study on the effects of continuous ingestion of Sr/sup 90/ during the growth period of beagles and its relation to Ra/sup 226/ toxicity. Results will be extrapolated to the effects of continuous exposure of humans to Sr/sup 90/. Results of preliminary studies indicate that Sr/sup 90/ is not discriminated against when fed daily at a constant Co/Sr ratio. The death of a beagle from a highly malignant radioinduced osteosarcoma gave evidence of the pathological effects of Sr/sup 90/ when fed daily. The objectives of the program are discussed and buildings and facilities are described and illustrated photographically. A literature review on the properties and metabolism of strontium was completed. (C.H.)
