Title: EFFECTS OF HYDROBIOTITES UPON STRONTIUM-89 AND CESIUM-137 RETENTION BY RUMINANT ANIMALS

Journal Article · · Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med.

Radiochemicai studies with ruminant animals indicate that activated verxites, a nearly pure hydrobiotite, effectively bind Sr-89 and Cs-137 in vitro and in vivo, thus increasing excretion rate and quantity of these radionuclides injected or ingested at tracer levels. (auth)
