CHANGES IN CS137 RETENTION AND ROUTES OF ELIMINATION AS EFFECTED BY EXTERNAL FACTORS

Investigations were made to determine the roles that cold and X- irradiation played upon the biological half time of Cesium-137 in rats. Partial and whole-body X-irradiation increased the biological half-time of Cesium-137 while cold with the associated increased food consumption and fluid exchange...

Zusammenfassung:Investigations were made to determine the roles that cold and X- irradiation played upon the biological half time of Cesium-137 in rats. Partial and whole-body X-irradiation increased the biological half-time of Cesium-137 while cold with the associated increased food consumption and fluid exchange decreased the biological half-time. Analysis of fecal and urine outputs showed that increased diuresis does not invariably facilitate Cesium-137 excretion. The possible roles of food ingestion and fecal outputs were discussed.
