Abstract

Since plutonium is manufactured at the Hanford Works in the 1940s, a study of its effect on biological materials is important. To determine the amount of plutonium deposited in a biological sample, it is necessary to have and accurate method for extracting plutonium from these samples. Some of the different methods for plutonium assay are reviewed and given in this paper dated November 16, 1948.
