| Abstract: | 239+240Pu and-when possible-also the ratio238Pu/239+240Pu was determined in the lungs and livers of 15 residents from Chernobyl-fallout contaminated areas in Byelorussia. In several cases various sections of the lungs were analyzed separately. With the exception of one person the activity concentrations of239+240Pu, were always within the range expected from the global fallout of weapon tests in the sixties and did not indicate any contribution of Chernobyl-derived plutonium. |
