SOME ASPECTS OF THE COMPARATIVE METABOLISM OF PLUTONIUM AND AMERICIUM IN RATS
Journal Article

· Health Physics (England)
The distribution of Pu/sup 239/ and Am/sup 241/ in the bones and tissues of rats was compared following intravenous or oral administration of the nuclides in several different chemical forms. Both Pu/sup 239/ and Am/sup 241/ were deposited extensively in the skeleton in approximately equal quantities, but in the liver the concentration of Am/sup 241/ was 5- 10 times greater than that of Pu/sup 239/. The rate of removal of Am/sup 241/ from the plasma was more rapid than that of Pu/sup 239/, and this difference was reflected in the rate of uptake of these nuclides into the proximal, distal, and shaft regions of the femur.
