Radioactivity measurements of former military personnel exposed to weapon debris

RE Toohey, J Rundo, MA Essling, JY Sha, RD Oldham, J Sedlet, and JJ Robinson

Sixteen former military personnel who were present at the "Smoky" atmospheric nuclear weapon test have been investigated for internal deposits of radioactivity. Whole-body and thorax gamma-ray measurements, thorax and skeletal actinide measurements, and urinalyses for plutonium-239 and strontium-90 indicated no evidence of radioactivity in excess of that found in the general population.
