Blast biology: a study of the primary and tertiary effects of blast in open underground protective shelters. Project 33. 1 of Operation Plumbbob

Description: Dogs, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and mice were exposed to nuclear detonations in two open underground partitioned shelters. The shelters were of similar construction, and each was exposed to separate detonations. Each inner chamber filled through its own orifice; thus four separate pressure environments were obtained. An aerodynamic mound was placed over the escape hatch of each structure to determine its effect on the pressure-curve shape inside the chamber. In one test a sieve plate bolted a… more

A URANIUM INHALATION EXPOSURE CASE HISTORY

Description: Condensed version of Y-B94-54. A machinist in a U shop was found to have inhaled dust from his work. The exposure resulted from the worker's keeping his face close to the work thereby interfering with the exhaust provided. Also, at some time during the period some cleansing tissues were drawn into the exhaust duct and lodged there. An initial lung burden of 3 to 5 mg was found with no evidence of kidney loading. Excretion was primarily in the urine, 2.33 mg being detected in urinalyses for 2.54… more

Studies of Factors in the Uptake of Sr/sup 90/. Site Survey: Fall, 1954

Description: A survey was made of levels of strontium-89 and strontium-90 from fallout in samples of soil, vegetation, and animal bone collected from selected pasture sites in North Carolina, New York, Georgia, Utah, and New Jersey during 1953 and 1954. The bone levels showed an average increase by a factor of 2.4. Data are presented graphically showing the relationship of the calcium content in the soil to strontium-90 uptake in animal bones. The ratio of strontium-90 to strontium-89 in the uptake cycle at… more
