BIOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL ASPECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION

Abstract

Continued assays of normal persons in the Whole Body Counting Facility revealed increased levels of radiocesium-137 during this fiscal year. Fol low-up of patients with carcinoma of the thyroid has continued. Clinical studies concerning total body fat, fat absorption and whole body potassium were accomplished. A major renovation of the Whole Body Counting Facility was accomplished. Fission products determinations in both mild and rain samples were performed during the first half of the fiscal year.
