Values corrected for decay
beta activity at 44 days post detonation { Table
“9. The predominant radionuclide is Se,
which contributes 42 percent of the total beta
acuvity at this time,
Assays of fissile matertel made on pooled
suinples of urine were all negutive within experimentel limits.
The early urine samples analyzed bv the
LASD. (cotlected 15 divs post detonation) con:
tained fair amounts of radioiodine ii addition
to the alkaline and rare earths,
On the basis of the radiochenucal analysis
of the urine. the body burden (the radioisotope
deposition in the tissues) was estimated. The
ratio hetween the activity of the urine and the
wmneunt of isetope tised in the body is required
for this calculation. Towever, few mtios are
avilable for the deposition of the various radioelements in humans, so thatait was necessary
tocurtlize ratios obtained from aniniad studies,
Of che animads collected on Kongelap, the pig
wis selected as the closest to the human in size

A detadled study was there-
