Summary

studies of animals provided data on the

mature and distribution of the radioisotopes in

ae tissues and the excreta, Over 90 percent of
hhe activity in the body of animals was localized
ithe skeleton, The pattern of deposition of
“he fission produers in the skeleton seen in autovadiographs resembles that of the alkaline
euthey. Morphological changes which were ob-

erver insome of the bones may be the result of
“ae exposire of the animal to external radiation,
though the effects of severe dietary changes
tod other clisease cannot be ruled out.

Che alkaline earths Srand Ba‘? and the

mare euth group together constituted 7 percent

of the gross beta aetivity mi the pig at 82 days
