Abstract
Summary
Radiochemical studies with ruminant animals indicate that activated verxites, a nearly pure hydrobiotite, effectively bind Sr-89 and Cs-137 in vitro and in vivo, thus increasing excretion rate and quantity of these radio-nuclides injected or ingested at tracer levels.
Appreciation is expressed to L. Young and B. Patterson for technical assistance, and to Zonolite Division, W. R. Grace & Co. for hydrobiotites and grant-in-aid support of this research.
