Distribution of plutonium 239 in a dog body 7 days after introvenous injection of the citrate complex

In experiments with 12 dogs of both sexes it was found that 7 days after inravenous injection of the citrate (2%) complex the concentration of plutonium in the organs and tissues, which are considered noncritical, is lower than in the skeleton by one or two orders of magnitude. No substantial differences were found in plutonium levels in the endocrine glands, (0.7-4.2)x10-3%, different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, (0.9-1.7)x10-3%, different regional lymph nodes, (2.4-3.8)x10-3%, and in different parts of the central nevrous system, (0.06-0.19)x10-3% of the total amount of plutonium administered
