  DESCRIPTION  This series contains files for human subjects who 
               participated in a study by the Whole  Body Counter 
               staff. This series contains records of the second 
               validation study, which  involved 11 women who 
               inhaled 3.5-micron-diameter niobium-92m-labeled 
               micro-  spheres to determine the suitability of 
               the Humanoid phantom as a lung calibration  medium 
               for females. Subject files in this series were 
               created by the Whole Body  Counter staff in 
               conjunction with their work on this study. The 
               study was initiated by  the United Kingdom to 
               evaluate the Humanoid phantom as a calibration 
               tool for measuring plutonium in the lungs and was 
               approved by review boards in the U.K. and U.S.  
               After inhalation, subjects visited several 
               laboratories for "counting." Records for 
               individual subjects are maintained in notebooks. 
               The notebooks contain personal information about 
               the subjects, biometric data and x-ray counts, and 
               correspondence.  Files contain records types such 
               as photos, lung clearance graphs, raw data, 
               handwritten notes, and charts. This series is 
               interfiled with Project Administration records  
               and records of the other two validation studies.
