samples collected subsequent to January 20 uave negative
results.
The only thing that this demonstrates is that no
detectable level of Pu-239 was found.
Even following the in-
jection of large volumes OF Pu-239 solution into the skin and
muscle of animals, the Pu-239 is slowly absorbed and appreciable
fractions, up to 70%, remain at the site of injection.
Moreover, of the auantity absorbed only a small fraction appears
in the urine or feces (see vage 3, Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4).
In
case we are concerned with only a very small
volune of solution and hence we should not be surprised if we
obtain negative results in an individual urine or feces
sample.
(See also Exhibit 5)
The vhysical examination pserformed by Or. Roy Z. Albert
on January 23, 1953, has no relevance.
One would expect no
overt sSicns of rasSiation injury at ciis early daze from the
small guantity of Pu-239 which is 2t issue here.
“We are concerned
here with the lons term effects,
not the acute affects.
