OSTI ID:4332646
A method of determining the radiocesium content of the human body using thallium-activated sodium iodide crystals and gamma-ray spectrometry is described, and results are presented for subjects measured between June 1956 and July 1957. The potassium content was determined simultaneously and the mean content of 16 adult males was 0.21% of body weight. The mean cesium content of these subjects was 34.0 mu mu c per g potassium with a standard deviation of 7.6 mu mu c per g. (auth)
