US. Transuranium Registry at HEHF since 1968. The registry obtains data on the deposition and distribution of transuranic s, such as plutonium and americium, i n workers a t DUE facilities.This data i s important for establishing radiation protection standards. The new result will facilitate the estimation of total body burdens of these radioactive substances based upon a few sample bones. (J. Thiessen, The relationship allows the The Department has sponsored t h e 0 NSLS Experiments The x - ray r in y of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) has developed into an effective scientific instrument. A recent issue of the Physical Review Letters contains a report of an investigation of valence fluctuations in may ne tic ally ordered materialS which was carried out this spring at the NSLS by a team of scientists from Aryonne and Brookhaven National Laboratories.
