Description:
Sixteen former military personnel who were present at the "Smoky" atmospheric nuclear weapon test have been investigated for internal deposits of radioactivity. Whole-body and thorax gamma-ray measurements, thorax and skeletal actinide measurements, and urinalyses for plutonium-239 and strontium-90 indicated no evidence of radioactivity in excess of that found in the general population.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Toohey, R E -- Rundo, J -- Essling, M A -- Sha, J Y -- Oldham, R D -- Sedlet, J -- Robinson, J J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Aug 14;213(4509):767-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7256278" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
