AbstractAbstract
[en] The temporal pattern of radiation dose to tissues of beagle dogs which have inhaled 239PuO2 aerosols is being studied. Dogs received single inhalation exposures to monodisperse or polydisperse aerosols. Sacrifice of male and female pairs of dogs are being performed from 4 hours to 8 years after exposure. Radiochemical analysis of Pu in dog tissues and urine and feces samples are used to measure the temporal behavior of inhaled 239PuO2. The data to two years after exposure reaffirm the insoluble nature of 239PuO2 in vivo; less than two percent of the amount of Pu initially deposited in lung has been found in tissues other than lung and thoracic lymph nodes. The rate of accumulation of Pu in the tracheobronchial lymph nodes has decreased considerably during the second year after exposure
