title: Actinides concentrations in human tissues.
abstract: Fallout 239,240Pu concentrations in some autopsy tissues from the general population in Japan are described. Body burden and relative distribution among tissues of plutonium were obtained by extrapolating using the mass of relevant tissues of the normal Japanese adult. 239,240Pu-to-90Sr body burden ratio was obtained. ICRP models were used to estimate body burden and relative contribution of ingestion intake. Need for data on the intraskeletal distribution of fallout plutonium and more information on gastrointestinal absorption in man was stressed.
