Description/Abstract:

MEMO TO F DANIELS FROM J J NICKSON, DTD 23 OCT 45; AN ABSTRACT OF A MONTHLY REPORT FOR SECTION H-III CONCERNING ROUTINE ANALYSIS OF THE URINE OF CHICAGO PERSONNEL FOR PLUTONIUM. RESULTS RECORDED DON'T INDICATE A HIGH EXPOSURE. ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH METHODS HAS CONTINUED. THE ABSORPTION PROCESS WAS CHOSEN FOR CONTINUED RE- SEARCH BECAUSE OF DECIDED ADVANTAGES. THE PATIENT INJECTED WITH PLUTONIUM DIED AS A RESULT OF EXTENSION OF THE NEOPLASM. AN AUTOPSY WAS CONDUCTED. LIVER CONTAINED 33% OF THE PLUTONIUM INJECTED. BONE MARROW FROM ONE RIB CONTAINED THE HIGHEST SPECIFIC ACTIVITY OF ANY TISSUE. MANY DISCUSSIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE ABOUT THE PROCEDURE FOR DECONTAMINATING AREAS.
