Abstract
Approximately 800 mice, divided into four age groups varying from 122 to 369 days, were given single exposures to Pu239O2 aerosols. Each age group was separated into a control and five subgroups, containing different amounts (0.038–0.72 nc) of Pu239 in the lung. The mean age at time of death was established for each subgroup. Comparison of Pu239-exposed mice with controls indicated no significant shortening of life span. No malignant tumors were seen.Keywords
