In vivo measurements of exposed individuals

Creators

Description

This section describes several studies of exposed individuals and the actual in vivo measurements made at this laboratory during the past three years. In all cases, the nuclides being measured are bone seekers and were measured with NaI(Tl)-CsI(Tl) detectors above the thorax or surrounding the head. The studies include the measurement of occupational contamination for 241Am, metabolic studies of 241Am in a child and his father, estimation of employee exposures to compounds of depleted uranium, measurements of residents of the Marshall Islands and measurement of occupational contamination for lead (Pb-210)
