Evaluation of the NCRP wound model using USTUR plutonium-contaminated wound cases – Germann, L.
The NCRP Wound Model (Report No. 156) is summarized and USTUR case 0262 urine and whole body data is modeled using the NCRP 156 model. These results are then compared to those iteratively calculated by James, A.C. et al. in the paper: USTUR whole body case 0262: 33-y follow-up of PuO2 in a skin wound and associated axillary node [USTUR-0209-06].

Presentation

Mechanistic Wound Modeling – Chelidze, N.
The NCRP Wound Model (Report No. 156) is summarized, current progress toward incorporating the NCRP 156 wound model into the Pu systemic model and optimizing results is described, and future research goals are presented.
