This also yields a figure for initial uptake of fission products as a
whole, which permits the calculations of uptake to the bone of several
isopopes of Sr, Y, Ba and La.

These elements probably contribute the

major cortion of activity within the bone.

The relation between

initial uptake and concentration of fission produsts per unit area

(estimated from the dose rates seasured in air) then may be used to

extrapolate to Shot 2 case ag was done in reference (1). For the animals
exposed to both Shot 2 ami Shot 9 fall~out, this procedure will yield
total doses and concentrations.

B/ Assumptions

1. Highest measured activity on July 8 was 4e6 x 107 po/sm of 12

in thyroid.

2.

Tine of both fall-outs was 2 hours after detenations.
