| Popis: | Uranium isotopes were given via single intravenous injection into 22 young adult beagle dogs of both sexes to determine the metabolism of this element. Animals were given either {sup 232}U, {sup 233}U, {sup 238}U, or a combination of {sup 232+233}U. Calculations to assign a value of skeletal dose for each dog were performed using published radioactive properties of each uranium isotope and the metabolic data (including measured retention and skeletal distribution) derived from this study during a period of up to 2 y after injection. We believe that the procedures illustrated in this communication can serve as a useful pattern for estimating skeletal radiation doses to humans contaminated with {sup 232}U, {sup 233}U, or {sup 238}U. 13 refs., 2 tabs. |
