Metabolism and Distribution of Inhaled Plutonium in Rats

Description: From abstract: "Several different techniques were used to introduce tracer quantities of plutonium into the lungs of rats. When aerosols were produced by atomizing aqueous solutions of the nitrates it was found that approximately 20 per cent of the dose was absorbed and deposited in the skelton [sic] with tetra-, hexa-, and trivalent plutonium. Thus with these compounds, the lungs represent a more dangerous portal of entry than either oral (0.05 per cent) or intramuscular (13 per cent) administ… more

Physiological Observations on Rabbits Exposed to Single Doses of X-Rays

Description: Abstract: Most of the acute deaths among rabbits after single total-body x radiation occur in the first two days or at 10-15 days after irradiation. Signs of clinical depression are seen in survivors of sub lethal doses during each of these periods, termed the initial shock period and the principal acute radiation period.

Inorganic Separations Using Ion Exchange

Description: From summary: "In previous project work, dilute mixtures of inorganic cations in aqueous solution have been concentrated by adsorption of the cations on a synthetic resin and they have been fractionated by selective desorption of the cations from the resin. In this report..the general procedure used in chemical separation, the equipment used, and the theory of the exchange equilibria and of the reaction rates are presented."
