FISSION PRODUCT METABOLISM AND RESPONSE IN LABORATORY AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS PLANNING STUDY FOR EVALUATION OF RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION OF THE FOOD CHAIN. Progress Report, April 1, 1962-January 31, 1963
Results are summarized from a series of studies on metabolic processes governing the movement of fission products in laboratory and domestic animals. Emphasis was placed on the monitoring of food supplies and the development and evaluation of survey methods for the evaluation of radioactive contamination of the food chain. The relative availability of I/sup 131/ from milk as compared to availability from inorganic sources was measured. Data are included from studies on the renal excretion of Ca and Sr, the effects of lactose and vitamin D on calcification in normal and rachitic chicks, the effects of dietary Na and K on Cs/sup 137/ retention in the rat, and the effects of ultraviolet light on single nerve fibers.
