Abstract
Cesium-137 retention following four cases of accidental contamination was measured as a function of time in the Los Alamos human spectrometer and counter. Inhalation was the primary route in at least three of these exposures. A simple exponential function fits the data well, the biological half time averaging 128 days.Keywords
