Abstract
THE distribution of plutonium in blood serum proteins has been investigated previously1–3. Normally, americium-241 is present in plutonium samples, and is produced there by the β-decay of plutonium-241. Accordingly it is of interest to compare the distribution of americium in blood serum proteins with that of plutonium.
