A Study of the Translocation of Plutonium and Americium from Wounds
- Colorado State Univ., Fort Collins, CO (United States)
The technological feasibility and economic advantages of the use of plutonium in power reactors and in other plutoniumfueled systems have been widely explored and demonstrated (1). As the use of plutonium and other transuranic nuclides has increased, the chance of their deposition within the human body has increased. A relatively complete review of the literature regarding the modes of entry, distribution, excretion, and means of evaluating plutonium within living systems has been recently published (2, 3).
