[ RadSafe ] Po-210 incident

[John R Johnson]

Tom and other radsafers

What would we learn if Po-210 was detected in urine? I can't find any ICRP
relationships between urine and intakes.

Good morning-



The Health Protection Agency in England has updates regarding the Po-210
incident.

http://www.hpa.org.uk/default.htm



The National Health Service in England posted this article apparently
during the early phase of the Po-210 incident.

http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?articleId=2086



I was wondering, does anyone know what activity was detected in Mr.
Litvinenko's urine?
