DR. BUGHER:

Are most of those excreted rather

rapidly?
MR. COHN:

Zirconium, cerium, praseodymium are

concentrated in the bone to some extent.

I think in this

case their half life is probably much shorter than their
excretion rates.

That would be the determining factor.

DR. BUGHER:

It is obviously unlikely that we will

ever know more quantitatively what

Does the exposure to 150 to 200 r

in relativdy a short time change tolerance concepts?

DR. BUGHER:

The main point there, I think,

is

that our tolerance levels are below that for which
experimental results can be demonstrated.

In other words,

one has to go much higher levels of the material.

At the moment I can't

recall the results except that they tend to be additive,
rather than otherwise.
