PUQFUA: AN IBM-704 FORTRAN CODE FOR DETERMINING PLUTONIUM BODY BURDEN FROM URINE ASSAYS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4173352
PUQFUA is an IBM-704 FORTRAN program, written primarily for Pu/sup 239/, which calculates from urinalyses the plutonium body burden in microcuries and the percent of the maximum permissible body burden. It is based on a set of power function eliminuation equations developed for the excretion of plutonium over a five-year period. Results with PUQFUA compare favorably with those of other methods. In general, it is easy to apply for a large number ot innividual ssmples, and the validation method is objective and requires no past experience with plutonium body harden calculations on the part of the evaluator.
