Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) SERIES TITLE Project Administration Records: Subject Files for Inhalation Study Using 3.5-Micron-Diameter Niobium-92m INCLUSIVE DATES 1983 1985 ARRANGEMENT Alphabetical by subject name VOLUME approximately 0.5 cubic foot 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. RESTRICTIONS This series contains privacy material. LOCATION OF RECORDS Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Building 253, Room 1719 Berkeley, CA 94720 (Raw data is on magnetic tape; calibration records are stored in the Control Room.) |
