AFRRI - Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute

Most work at high doses, not sure about U ingestion.



But for other refs see, e.g.,:

http://cnts.wpi.edu/rsh/Data_Docs/1-3/1/13110he61.html



The Henry paper is JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association.

This is just part of the paper reviewing "all low dose radiation studies"

then to date (defined as less than about 1 rad per day! ) on just the animal

studies (other parts of the paper are with the specific topics).



About 3/4 of the way down is a section on "Internal Exposure" that includes

some the early source data. You can get to the references at:
