Creators
Description
Neonatal rats gavaged with 237Pu or 238Pu retained a substantial quantity in gut mucosa for a week but absorbed only 2.9% of the 237Pu. After 140 days the amount retained fell to half that initially deposited. Newborn swine also retained large amounts in the gut and absorbed about 40% of the dose
