AbstractAbstract
[en] The objective of this project is to determine possible toxic effects of aerosolized reaction products of sodium and lithium that might be released from accidental breaks in reactor coolant systems employing these metals as heat transfer agents. In current studies, rats were injected intravenously with lithium chloride (1 mg) to determine blood clearance characteristics. Measurements over a 4-hr test period revealed that levels dropped rapidly after injection to values 10 to 15 times higher than those observed in rats prior to intravenous injection
