Description/Abstract:
BEAGLE DOGS AND CURRENTLY ACCEPTED PHYSICAL AIR SAMPLING EQUIPMENT WER E EXPOSED TO THE CLOUD PRODUCED BY A NUCLEAR CRATERING EXPERIMENT TO D ETERMINE THE DEPOSITION OF RADIOACTIVE IODINE IN ORGANS OF THE BIOLOGI CAL SAMPLER WITH THAT COLLECTED BY THE PHYSICAL SAMPLING DEVICES. PRIM ARY EMPHASIS IS DIRECTED TO THE EVALUATION OF SUCH FACTORS AS ISOTOPIC RATIOS, RATE OF BUILD-UP, AND THE EFFECT OF THE THYROID GLAND IN CONC ENTRATING IODINE. THE RESULTS, WHICH INDICATED THE SELECTIVITY OF THE BIOLOGICAL SAMPLER AND THE INEFFICIENCY OF THE PHYSICAL SAMPLERS, ARE DISCUSSED.
