Moskalov; Inst. of Biophysics, Ministry of Public Health, Dr. Alexei A. Moiseev; Central Inst. for Advanced Medical Studies, Moscow Dr. Jean-Claude Nenot; CEA, Centre D'Etudes Nuclaires, Fontenay-aux- Roses, France. Dr. R. Masse,; CEA as above. The four viSigr were otg traveling together but by coincidence were articibanks a ,amre Transuranium Bioloy SyUposium At Hanford drn hbe week of Se They Xeye in sa rnic ygneat the same ime a (Pgiggg (jpd tcIo visit Berkee othsaed. Mrs. AnnQ.Low-Beer picked up the four guests in San Francisco and brought them to the Donner Laboratory where they were greeted by Dr. John Lawrence. Drs. Donald Van Dyke, James MoRae, and Howard Parker took them on a short tour of the Anger camera facility and whole-body counting and scanning equipment. The current uses and potential in medical diagnosis were dis- cussed. Major questions concerned the use of these instruments in monit- oring and assessing the extent of persons contaminated with radionuclides in industrial accidents. Lunch was attended by Dr. Hardin Jones, the four guests, Drs. Van Dyke and Parker, and Dr. Patricia Durbin, who acted as hostess and guide through the day. Topics discussed at lunch were centered about the Transuranium symposium. The efficacy of two new techniques to remove lung contamina- tion by alpha-emitting isotopes ias considered. The two techniques are lung lavage and aerosolized ch W ing agents, particularly DTPA. A tour of Bldg. 7h followed lunch. Three bf the visitors are biologists-- Drs. Moskalev and Nenot ar hysicians and Dr. Masse is a veterinarian -- a3n- d Ith animal experiments or the interpretation of the results of animal experiments. They were much interested in how one achieved and managed a biologically clean rodent colony, in the minimum mainte- nance rabbit rooms, and the cage-washing facilities. There was some discussion about the 90-f3r-injccted monkeys, there exposure levels, years of follow-up, and the essential absence of biological effects at the dose levels in the study, A two-hour general discussion between and among the four guests and Dr. Durbin followed the building tour. The chief topics discussed were how to explain the observed differences in the metabolism of the transuranic elements among species. The usefulness and verifiability of models of human Pu metabalism were considered at great length. New areas of re- search in internal emitters problems were considered including the influ- ence of age on local dose and ultimate biological end-points; the useful- ness of common experiments with various species particularly those with known variations in iron metabolism, bone formation rates and liver funo- tion.
