extent of these internal radioelements excreted by the exposed human
beings was compared with data obtained from radiochemical analysis of

the tissues and excreta of animals contaminated in the same event.;

Abstract: Analyses were carried out of various organs of Mr. Kuboyama 200

days after he had exposed himself to radiation of the atomic bomb
explosion on Bikini Atoll, March, 1954. By ion-exchange chromatography,

the presence of the following nuclides was indicated: /sup 144/Ce, and
/sup 144/Pr in the bone (I) (20 x 10/sup -12/ counts/g. fresh wt.).
Liver

(II),

and Kidneys

(III);

/sup 95/Zr and /sup 95/Nb in II and III;

/sup 106/Rh, /sup 129m/Te, and /sup 129/Te in I, III, and muscles; and
/sup 89/Sr, /sup 90/Sr, and /sup 90/Y in I, II, and III. Activities

found in these organs were decidedly higher than those found in the
control samples obtained from individuals who died of other than the
so-called radiation sickness. Radiation dose received by the bones of
Mr. Kuboyama was calculated to be approximately 8 r.e.p.;
