Abstract:
Using animals a study on the internal contamination by U ingestion is presented. Two rats of Wistar-London breed were contaminated at once and after different time intervals, 3 days and 10 days respectively, they were sacrified. Uranium biodistribution in the vital organs as well as the uranium retention and elimination was investigated using the fission track method. For the two contaminated subjects a comparison between obtained quantitative results is given.
