Abstracts

This research compared the data sets of intramuscularly injected plutonium and intravenously injected plutonium to the wound retentions as listed in chapter 4 of NCRP Report No. 156. The retention at the injection site within the muscles was hypothesized to be the difference between the lines of best fit for the intramuscular injection data and the intravenous injection data. This difference was compared to the most closely fitting NCRP-156 retention equation, the weak retention equation, and the percent difference were calculated. These data were found to not be a fit for the retention equations.Key Words: Plutonium, NCRP-156, Wound Model, Nonhuman Primate
