Description
A general description of a 252Cf inhalation incident, personnel decontamination and precautionary medical treatment are presented in this paper. Californium urinary excretion was followed, some fecal analyses were carried out and in vivo measurements were made with a 4 × 8 - in. NaI (Tl) detector. Bioassay data are evaluated to indicate gastrointestinal and urinary clearance rates. The effects of DTPA chelation and catharsis are discussed.
