Excretion rate and retention of plutonium 1000 days after injection

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4093140
During 1945 to 1947 two persons received intravenous injections of $sup 239$Pu as the citrate and one person received $sup 238$Pu as the nitrate. Samples of urine and feces were analyzed for Pu for eight days. Results were used to calculate mean daily excretion rates at 10,000 days post-injection. Total excretion and retention were calculated in the form of a balance sheet and results are tabulated. (HLW)
