TRANSLOCATION AND EXCRETION OF PULMONARY DEPOSITED PLUTONIUM OXIDE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4299061
The excretion of plutonium in urine and feces during the period two to 46 days after intratracheal administration of plutonium oxide in dogs is described by power functions. Of the small per cent of administered plutonium appearing after ten days in tissues other than the lung, the pulmonary lymph nodes, ovaries, and bones showed relatively high concentrations. No relationship between the estimated lung burden and the blood and urine content could be derived. The excretion data were used successfully to test a published equation for estimating the plutonium content of the lung ten days after exposure to plutoniuin oxide. (auth)
