| Popis: | The origins and current activities of the United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries are traced with emphasis on biokinetic modelling, and new biokinetic models, for plutonium and americium, are proposed suitable for operational applications. Although started more than 25 years ago, the Registries remain the only formally organised human tissue research programme devoted to the study of actinides in man. Using radiochemical techniques, the Registries determine the amount of actinide elements in the tissues of volunteer donors at autopsy, using this information along with the individual's exposure and medical history, to evaluate the distribution, translocation, excretion and dose from Th, U, Pu, Am and other actinides in the body |
